King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). I just rented this one from Netflix and saw it with my dad (He got me hooked on kaiju eiga, thus creating a monster of sorts in the process!) This is easily one of my favorite Toho monster movies for the simple fact that two of the most iconic movie monsters squared off and didn't disappoint this kaiju eiga buff.
Fun fact: the American version by Universal features the Creature from the Black Lagoon theme on the soundtrack. It's kind of funny because it plays more than once and usually whenever King Kong or Godzilla shows up to wreak some good 'ol monster havoc.

I watched the new one at the movies a few years back. I was forced to watch it and had to sit there for 187 minutes of torture. It sucked bad.

Oh no, now I'm the one who'd rather be dragged down the street than sit through the '76 Kong again. *Shudder* Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

Fun movie, and it was great recognising so many comedy stalwarts throughout the movie, but two things kinda spoiled it for me.
Firstly, I know it was set in the Dark Ages, but they could have shot it a little lighter, so that I could actually see stuff on screen... And secondly, fun as it was, it wasn't as good as Holy Grail, to which I could not help but compare it.

Yeah, it´s nowhere near Holy Grail but it´s ok. Very dark and grim world. The final battle is fun stuff.

Just saw one of the most boring and pointless movies I ever seen: "Last Year At Marienbad" (1961).
Beautifully shot in black-and-white, but completely dull and pretentious. If you like dreamy-type of movies, this might interest you. But for me, this movie is more effective than any sleeping bill I ever taken!

I think it won because it is about the American Dream. Yeah I agree that the Oscars are ****.

I love The Railway Children. I don't mind the 2000 remake either where Jenny Agutter plays the mum this time.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977). Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason and Mike Henry. A pair of southern truck drivers undertake an offer to drive 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia for $80,000, with one of them picking up a runaway bride along the way, prompting a high speed pursuit by a sheriff and also his son.
