Child memories / B-Movies/ guilty pleasures/ & some so bad they're good

The ultimate disney halloween fable. scared the hell out of me in those glorious nights of childhood.

so I finally got to see it again, after so many years when I was just a little kid, the power of this fantastic movie is even stronger than what I remember.

Suspenseful and imaginative sci-fi classic, with Richard Matheson's thoughtful prose, and remarkable special effects.

Imagine your own house as an immense fortress full of deadly traps and gigantic monsters around the corner. Fascinating stuff.

One star for pity, the other for hilarity. poor Ed, he was just a little boy playing with crayons, a very expensive set of them.

The long zombie-cinema marriage started with this little and very interesting film. Lugosi plays once again a devilish man with a thick and menacing accent.

Hilarious!! this is the kind of intelligent, sarcastic and witty spoof I love. phenomenal writing and players, Sellers, Niven, Guinnes, Falk and Capote all together.

The greatest cinematic transition of a comic book ever done. Richard Donner's vigorous narrative pulse, Christopher Reeve's perfect incarnation and John Williams' majestic score made this movie an instant everlasting classic. Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman and the legendary Marlon Brando are some of the other additions to a perfect equation. An epic and exhilarating tale about the themes we the mere mortals constantly love to revive. The one and only superhero movie.

creepy and ultra entertaining euro trash, an italian gore hunt inside a film theater.

It's been quite a long time. I was 8, I was at my grandparents' house, and my brothers, a cousin and I started to cry and yell, we didn't want to stay there the whole afternoon, we wanted to watch this, the ultimate blockbuster of that time. so my grandma took us to the theater, I remember the lines outside were huge. The show was no less than amazing, John Williams breathtaking notes, Spielberg's exciting and suspenseful storytelling and that terrific dinosaurs. pure entertainment.

Cheesy as hell. one of those 50s comunist paranoia flicks. despite that, entertaining. view it for its "historical" value.

really twisted and over the top gory, still pretty earie and atmospherical.

as all Fulci films, terribly ambiguous, unpleasant and very entertaining.

this gory fest has one of the best zombie make up ever created. they seem like actual walking corpses, an entertaining and weird italian b-movie, euro trash at it's best

Funny "High Noon" spoof with great camerawork by Barry Sonnenfeld and that lovely and unique 80s style.

over-the-top, amazing, clever, but above all hilarious analysis of our humanity. The curious and naive bushman N!xau effortlessly steals the show. one of my childhood favorites.

Fairly mediocre. still, the atmosphere of universal pictures horror classics and two of its greatest monsters face-to-face is what saves it. good to see Lugosi playing the monster he once refused to incarnate.

Pure fun from start to finish, a B-movie on purpose that presents a truly charismatic Kurt Russell. entertaining, nostalgic and above all hilarious.

Another 'fondly' remembered 80s extravagant b-movie on purpose with hilarious situations and dialogues.
The guys from 'Shaun of the dead' owe a lot to Dan O'Bannon and the good old Tar-man.

The kind of adventure that every teenager craved during the school days. Carpe diem, baby!

A milestone of australian filmmaking and also Mel Gibson's rise to stardom.
Apocalyptic spaghetti western with roaring engines instead of horses, and the classic typology of colourful characters, a deadly battle in no man's land between borderline demented villains and a reluctant and irascible enforcer.
Bloody, raw, rambunctious editing and visual display.

A real blast of a sequel, less violent but a lot more spectacular.

Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest is done again, as Kurosawa did in Yojimbo, Leone in Per un pugno di dollari, and the Coens in Miller's Crossing. That means, once again a stranger has interfered with two rebellious factions fighting for the power. The mysterious road warrior arrives in the dusty australian landscape to turn the battle into an exhilarating apocalyptic stampede, meeting new allies and enemies, each one freakier than the next.

Why would I bash something I have enjoyed this much? no matter how ridiculous and bad it is I found it hysterical.
who would have thought that Mr. Mike "Get Carter" Hodges would go for campy fun? and Queen in the soundtrack just adds more laughs and nostalgia to this quirky and deliriously kitsch production by megalomaniac producer Dino De Laurentiis.

Morbid and fun cult classic that shows the big apple's nocturnal agitation caused by a beautiful angel with a "death wish" m.o and a deep mental disturbance ala "repulsion".
Too bad Ferrara's impossiblity to push further into psychological horror, instead he goes for sensationalism. The leap between the innocent and disturbed young girl and the vexatious, psychopathic avenger was a little too abrupt, but it has a crazy soundtrack and the atmosphere for itself is great, sinisterly kitsch.
