Seems strange that From Beyond made the list over Re-animator.

So cult films are sneaking their way into Kanopy which is usually more highbrow cinephile oriented.

I finally got about to seeing the cult horror Basket Case.

Better than I expected. Okay the acting wasn’t that great and how the women all just fell for our innocent young man protagonist was sometime eye rolling but the basis and the revenge plot were well done.
If you are into 80’s horror with cheesy SFX and lots of blood then you should see this film.

I need to check up on how they explain the sequels as it ends up with our tragic hero and his demented twin falling to their death.

I came across this movie recently, shot in Cinemiracle wide-screen. I’d love to watch it (even on a normal TV) but haven’t yet found a way to do so, legal or il-.

I wonder whether an IMAX cinema would be able to screen something like this in its original glory?

I’ve loved this film since seeing it on USA’s Saturday Nightmares. (My Blu-Ray is currently back in my apartment (presumably)).

Ever since I’ve known it, Kanopy has had cult films. A goodly assortment of Italian horrors and more than a dozen Jean Rollin, just for example.

I cloned this from the Florida Man goes to sea thread because this would be too far off-topic even for me.

First I came up with the lame joke that this probably means that Michael Peña could just as well have ended up as Mike Rock on the movie posters. Then it reminded me of something I noticed thumbing through Halliwell’s (9th edition) the other day: work names. And then I realized yes, not that long ago, most likely he would have been given a new name by his studio or his agent, “because that’s how it works”.

The Manchurian Candidate

watched this in college with my buddy Zach. he insisted we watch it when it came on TV because, under the same circumstances back home, his father, a Red Forman type but from Tennessee, insisted that Zach watch it with him. presumably Zach and I smoked a lot more weed during the film than he and his dad.

maybe Sinatra’s best dramatic role, or at least tied with From Here to Eternity. but TMC is the better film overall, and FHTE is great.
