Argh - I seem to have lose the ability to insert links with my own wording..! Well, below is the Amazon link for the film I wanted to reference anyway.

It's called Blood on Satan's Claw, The Blood on Satan's Claw or Satan's Skin depending on which release you watch. I watched an early VHS recording from the television and it scared the life out of me (too young to watch it I think).

Recently I found it had been released in a box set DVD with other Tigon films (British horror studio in the 70s) and a commentary was offered by my heroes The League of Gentlemen. I had to buy it, and was amazed that it's even more creepy and atmospheric that I remembered, even if the real scares are few & far between.

And I have seen Buckaroo Banzai and Eraserhead...

Anyone see Manon Des Sources? Cried til I retched over that.

Also Derek Jarman's Edward II? I saw those at The Penultimate Picture Palace in Oxford (England) which showed some really amazing films...

The Cook,The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.

Some obnoxious drunk guy that knocked over a display and caused a scene at the movie store recommended this to us - and it was surprisingly good.

Another DVD laying around the house that I never actually watched.

Loved it. Beautiful use of colour and has been referenced in many films I've enjoyed since.

As we're on a French trip, how bout Delicatessan and The City of Lost Children? (cheating as most of my friends have seen both)

Ibby · 06-17-2006, 08:09 PM

City of Lost Children, I've seen in bits and pieces. Don't remember much though.

richlevy · 06-17-2006, 11:36 PM

Let's not forget Rockula.

capnhowdy · 06-18-2006, 08:31 PM

And Blackula... which I was not very fond of.

Shoalin Soccer - very funny from the maker of kung fu hustle (also good)

I love that movie, but his last is my favorite, Coffee and Cigarettes.

My wife and I are still in an argument over whether it was a sexual relationship or not....

Doppelganger (old drew barrymore.)

Things to do in Denver when you are dead.

The Game (Michael Douglas)

Pass The Ammo.

Tim Curry as an evil televangelist -- whose chickens come home to roost when he bilks two bandits' grandma out of her life's savings and the bandits jack him.

The bandits have a taste for Moon Pies, one of them so much that he rather resembles a Moon Pie -- the blond variety.

There's wackiness with shotguns, infidelity, video editing, song & dance, and an 81mm mortar.

Urbane Guerrilla · 06-22-2006, 02:42 PM

I was lucky enough to catch a prerelease showing of Wizards in college -- ran a bit longer, had more detail of Blackwolf's campaign of conquest, more of Peace losing his chickenhorse early in the film, and Avatar as the reluctant hero came through more clearly. They cut this for pacing, but for all of me they could have left it all in.

I was drawing elves all over my notebooks for weeks, and so was my best buddy. Been drawing elves since, really. And yeah, I read Elfquest, up to about 2000 anyway.
