  1. My runner-ups were: A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT, FAHRENHEIT 9/11, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, DEAD MAN'S SHOES, and THE BOURNE SUPREMACY.

     

    I had no Larry's Choice.

     

    I would have listed THE INCREDIBLES and HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE in the kartoon korner.

  2. This is where I respectfully leave this thread.  My knowledge of movies ends here, and I see not reason to repeat Top Ten box-office lists or critical lists.

    Boy, the thrill sure is gone from this thread.

     

    Sorry to see you go, friend. Not quite sure what you meant by that last bit.

  3. Way back in the early 2000's Universal released their "monster" collections as DVD box sets- a Frankenstein one with Frankenstein, Bride of., Son of, etc even including the Abbott & Costello movies. I recall a Frankenstein set, a Dracula set, a Wolfman set, a Mummy set and a Creature set. Each set has "extra features" too.

     

    I thought this was a complete set of Universal "Monster" DVDs. Is that what you are looking for Midnight?

     

    TCM has shown all those movies in the past, maybe 4-5 years ago, because I recorded them. Maybe Universal only "rents" them to one station at a time. Right now Svengoolie seems to have exclusive rights to broadcast them.

     

    I do know however, the Lon Chaney Jr Inner Sanctum shows that were broadcast on last night's Svengoolie are available for rental because the Cinephile Society has rented one for screening next season.

    There's also an Invisible Man set. And none of them have the Abbott and Costello films included. I have all the sets sitting on my shelf.

  5. Bogie, good call on Christina Ricci in Monster. She got overlooked because of Theron, but she was very good in it as well.

     

    I haven't seen Touching the Void or The Far Side of the Moon.

     

    Oldboy is a must see, I think. The pinnacle of the South Korean New Wave of film excellence.

     

    X-Men 2 is one of the 4 best superhero films, if that's saying anything.

     

    Ong-Bak is an amazing martial arts movie with some truly phenomenal stuntwork and fight choreography. Tony Jaa should have been the 00's Bruce Lee.

     

    Bad Santa and Bubba Ho-Tep are both outlandish and in questionable taste, but so am I.

     

    House of 1000 Corpses could just as easily been a Larry's Choice; it's sloppy, weird, loud, and nasty.
