Film 1 - Planet Of The Apes (1968)



Film 2 - The Crow

Hey Pebs, i like your film choice. :D

Btw I wanted to answer you on the other thread but it was closed. Re: what I picked, this time it really is one of my top ten faves of all time. I love it to death and watch it over and over and over. :D Here's some others I like - Saturday Night Fever - quite a hard and yet funny film, not a musical and fluffy at all and Travolta is so cool. B) Quadrapehnia - love the Who soundtrack and being an ex-mod I just gotta love it. :D The Wizard of Oz, Sound fo Music, and Edward Scissor Hands - hoe darkly comic if that movie? And how cut eis Depp. :D And then it's Thelma and Louise which I used - my fave of all time maybe.

Then HORROR! my personal faves

The Omen
The Excorcist
Carrie :bow:
Texas CSM(original)
Friday 13th
Halloween
The Fog
The Wicker Man :bow:
English compendium horror - films like Asylum, Tales form the Crypt, From Beyond the GRave - all 1960s jobs.
Battle Royale
The Ring (Japanese version)
Candyman
Old B&W Universal Horror like Frankenstein - love Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi :D
King Kong (RKO original)
Sci-fi horror like Terminator
Psycho and most Hitchcock stuff.

Many others, but these spring to mind.

Oh and I love gangster films - Scarface with Pacino for eg.

And Point Break - Keanu and Swayze in tight fitting surf suits, you cannot go wrong can you? roflmao Was gonna use Point Break but I was talking about it so though best not, and same with the horror stuff. I tried to pick stuff people would nto guess was me. :)

I know which one is yours SB :D

I also thought AN was yours as I remember you saying once that you liked the imagery in it and how it so aptly showed the horrors of war :)

love those films you mentioned SB - we must have a film night after we spent the day on Henman hill!

and nice to have you back hun after you rather exhausting sounding weekend! :hug:

I spent ages finding the clips from youtube to go with my choices Dav, why havent you used them??

*mutter, mumble... says please find clips and send them with choice... mutter, mumble... *

Feck, I forgot, and if I include it now people will know yours, SB's didn't have one :(

Sorry Pebs :(

I saw a special edition dvd of the one I voted for on Saturday - haven't seen anything related to that film in ages, then I come on her and see it as a choice too!!

'Tis a sign!!!

Love the goth feel to the film. I wonder if it really was a tragic accident or something else..

i haven't seen either of those films :shrug:

Oh dinky you must rent Planet of the Apes. Its a fab film and the ending is so shocking, you will fall of your chair...guaranteed. :D

Thanks Pebs :hug: I reckon we'd have the best picture show in town with just us two, but no one else woudl enjoy our horrific film choices! :D I forgot two horror must sees both by the genius director George Romero -

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead

I knwo you dont; like the last one much but I will watch the modern one if you wish. George said it was good. :D

Knackering weekend? tell me about it! Yesterday I was so shattered I crashed on the sofa at 10pm and woke up at the crack of bloody dawn! roflmao I'm on a kind of auto pilot as I am stull very busy, I just sorted out my flat rental so I'm able to stay in Brixham from Good Friday for EIGHT WHOLE WEEKS!!!! YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Oh and I have THREE people viewing my house today, . so trying to keep tidy. One mad eme an offer but he was such an asshole wide boy and took the piss by like 40k :rolleyes: Tell you what, after climbing all those harbourside hills my legs are about 50% stronger at the mo and my hamstrign is nto giving me any grief at all! Let's hope it stays that way. :pray:

Sorry abotu that, I was too busy at the time but I did tell you which one to find. I can send it now, but it might be too late. I want to see Pebs' clips myself though. :)

SB...I couldn't reply on the previous round coz it was closed, but I LOVE Jason and the Argonauts, its one of my fave movies. :D :D The scene with the skeletons is a marvelous display of special effects from years ago, don't you think. :bow: :clap: A guy who dealt with the effects in that scene was on the tv a few months ago, with some of THE skeletons used .....how awesome is that.. :clap: ...I sat there enthralled like a kid whilst he was chatting. when I first saw the film it scared me when they emeged from the ground. :hide:

Mo you have such great taste. :D When I was a kid we used to watch that movie every Xmas eve. There was a family ritual - our parents went down the pub and we played in the kids' room and drank cherry ade, then went to eat in at the chippy - home made fishcakes and thick gravy :wub: Then home to watch Jason. The Wizard of Oz was on almost every Xmas too. :D My mum also worked ina cinema so we used to watch the two movies there a lot. The special effects man I think is called Ray Harryhausen, he was a brilliant pioneeer in special effects, and he built all these models himself - no computer animation to help. Truly marbellous man :bow: :bow: :bow: Thekids today might laugh but that film's effects still hold their own IMO, and as I say no comp animation so more skill involed, and it was in 1963. :) The skeletons are fab, they still scare me today and there is also the gigantic God Thassos where they remove something from his heel to stop him, the Harpies that steal the blind man's food and a gorgon/medussa type thing. And I love the Clashing Rocks scene. :D I like the way the Gods play chess to determine fate and Honour Blackman is one of them and has a soft spot for Jason so saves him.

15 mins left, but I think we have a winner :D

Aren't we already past 24 hours?

Yes, but I only noticed then and I thought I'd round it up to the hour :)

Right, that's it, we have a winner, and after coming 3rd and 4th in my previous games, she finally wins one...

Congrats SB!!! :yahoo: :clap: You may claim your prize :lol:



Big :hug: and :bigkiss: to our fantastic runner-up Pebs, who made some excellent picks, but just lost out :)

Well done SB :clap: :hug:

Is that it you tight fisted #$%#$%? roflmao

Well I am rather shocked, cos I normally come 3rd or 4th in such things, it must be a weak era if I won something. roflmao

Bad luck Pebs :( I love your film choices though, great stuff. I was convinced I'd have lost this by the weekend.

does she get free cup-a-soup with the trophy?

congrats sb :clap:

roflmao you tell him hun, its not even spray painted gold in best pikey fashion!

Well here is a clip from 'The Crow' for anyone who's interested, might want to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVk2B2XmzcM

Thanks to all who played and voted, I'll come up with a new game sometime soon :)

Well done SB, I knew that was yours :D Great film :ok:

And well done Pebs as well, you came up with distinctive choices all the way through and I loved them all :hug:

I know! roflmao

And Bliv - i cant; even get a cheap p8key Lidl's brand soup in the thing! roflmao

Thanks Serena :hug: I guess I knew you would like it, but it is one of my all tiem faves from being a child and all. Very clever, very thought provokign and scary.

Planet of the Apes is definitely a film that makes you think and that imo is a very good thing, the best sorts of films :)

A lot of science fiction films can make you think actually, it's a very underrated attribution of the genre.

Oh certainly is :D Is all about a premise of 'What If?' and asking that question throws up some thought provoking stuff.. Like 1984, Brave new World.

No another B*%!*Y award for SB :rolleyes: No room in the trophy cabinet now. roflmao

:o :o oh I see, its only a mug :shrug: One for the mug tree in the kitchen then. :D

Congratulations SB, no longer a bridesmaid in a Dav comp. :hug: :clap: :clap: Bad luck Pebs, but well done for getting so far with some clever movie choices. :hug: Thanks to DAV too. :hug:

:D finally used one of my clips!

This film is probably one for those who likes it a little dark with a thread of romance.... and the mystery surrounding the film with Brandon Lees death lends it a certain 'when do you think it happened?' type of thing.

Sad that. :(

thanks hun :)

even Smokey and the Bandit? ;)

I used The Blues Brothers too ;)

:bigkiss: you did well hun!

thanks once again for running it all - I dont know how you have the patience! :hug:

yep, well done Dav, although I think you should have put the final off a couple of times to make sure it went down really well.. ;)

..oh and got a prettier hostess too

:D

:P You mean me don't you Lex. ;)

absolutely Mo hun :kiss2:

You're much prettier than Dav would have been - and just think of the length of the split there would have have to have been in the dress if you'd have been the hostess rather than a prize winner hun

B)

:blush: OMgoodness doesn't bare thinging about roflmao The dress is going to have to be even better at next years POSCARS and feeling the pressure already. I feel like Posh and Liz Hurley rolled into one. :P

nice image

*pictures Posh and Hurls rolling together*

:P2

Thanks Mo :hug:

There is no room in the trophy cabinet for sure, but THAT mug aint; going anywhere but straight to the bin! What a load fo cheap crap that is! roflmao

ooh sorry SB!

Congratulations hun

:hug: :kiss2: :)

Ta :D
