    Could be! I've gone over my DVD shelf and my "movies viewed" spreadsheet and the vast majority of the '50s films I've enjoyed are either Japanese or Hitchcock. For the Japanese, pretty much split...

    Watch some Kurosawa. Sure, there are no killer robots or superheroes in search of magic rocks. But there is some great human drama. If only a "few" films from the '60s are "watchable," I'd say...

    My all-time favorite MST3K episode was The Day the Earth Froze. The one with the "Sampo." So many great riffs. I had it on VHS and it was a grad school staple for my buddies and me when we wanted...

    If I recall, and I'm going from memory here, the director of Manos had a camera that could hold 10 minutes of film at a time. Either he didn't realize he could use less than the full reel for a...

    I jotted down 83 off the cuff. There are abut 40 that I'm sure would get nominated by any number of people here. I mean, if The Sting, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Omen, and Young Frankenstein don't...

    T-Dogz typically waits until the last 3 minutes before a poll closes. He doesn't usually vote for movies based on what he actually prefers (or else he could do that at any time), but what best...

    The greatest director of all time is Akira Kurosawa.

    Spielberg might win "the most funnest" b/c he does play up for a good time at a Saturday matinee, but I'd bet even he'd tell you he's no...

    Well I really liked The Babadook. The realization that it's all in the mother's head was intriguing and not at all like your typical "monster movie."

    However, the film that everyone else seems to...
