Your choices are all awesome though!

the the funny thing is i have seen so many movies through the years and i love so many of them that i don't really have a favorite horror film or action film. etc... so it'd be pretty hard for me to come up with a good list cause i can make one out and than 5 minutes later think of an even better film. so


it'd be pretty hard for me to do that. am the only one here like this?

Thanks Angie! Your choices are awesome too!

No, I had trouble narrowing it down too, especially with the horror. There's a lot of different ways a movie can be scary. That's why I added the "monster, serial killer, supernatural etc" genres to my lists lol.

oh ok good. cause Charlie Band is a guilty pleasure of mine for example and he's done some great films. and some pretty shitty ones as well such as "Bleed' from (2002) damn was that shitty.

anyways some of his films are among my favorite like his "Subspecies, Trancers, Puppetmaster series are favorites of mine.

Im a big fan of Charlies band to mostly the 90s fullmoon stuff . Seen so many of those films.I will say that hes lost it for the most part in recent years(i agree Bleed does suck)

actually they have gotten better in recent years since they are back being full moon. yea some of them suck ass but some of them are good. i love Evil Bong. i haven't seen the sequels yet. and Demonic Toys 2 is i think a fun film. not a great film but a fun one though. i have watched that a couple of times so it's one i like.

Yeah those two are good. havent seen to much of the new stuff thats under the full moon name. i remeber the side projects he had in the 2000s that were pretty bad

oh i'm not denying that most of them were shit. i haven't seen all of them. but i'm referring to his recent shit. he's done a LOT of shitty movies regardless what company he uses. i think he's used in all at last count 13 companies i believe?

my point is as much as i love his films. he's done a LOT of shit. 'Seed People' was shit. "Netherworld' was shit.

but 'Tourist Trap' is a classic film. actually that would be a good snob video now that i think about it.

Yeah it would lol. that might be my favorite movie that he did.

that would be one of my favorites yes. but i still also love "Puppetmaster 3' for example. i believe "Tourist Trap' got a theatrical run as well. so did "Shrunken Heads' another great film. even if they were limited they still got them ya know?

I love puppet master 3 alot as well. i havent seen Shunrken head in some many years.

a great film and it's a dark black comedy with a lot of bad acting really. one of the kids who was killed i believe played i think his character's name is Ray from "The Sercret World of Alex Mack' a favorite of mine when it comes to kids shows.

ya know back when Nick had GOOD shows on the air. not like the shit it has now.

Yeah i briefly remember that show lol (i feel an old school Nick thread coming up lol)

well you can start one if you'd like right now i'm to lazy for that. but you want good Nick look up on you tube 'You can't do that on television' that's before your time since you are what 23 right? but it's a show that would NOT be shown today cause of how dark it is.

honestly i'm really surprised they didn't make that into a film back in the day.
