How about 'Brazil', 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Dune', 'Blade Runner' or anything from Python! All good late night fare...

It's not a remake. It's more that the director spent too much time watching 'The innocents' and mixed it with a touch of 'The Changeling' (a very spooky George C. Scott film the director is known to like). |

Troma! You know, Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'em High, Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, Surf Nazis Must Die, Rockabilly Vampire...to name only the big ones! Maybe not Cannes material, but fun late-nite fare nonetheless!

excellent list to which I would add Easy Rider and Spinal Tap. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

If we are talking "tongue in cheek" and "cheese," there are few films with their tongues planted more firmly in their cheesy cheeks than "Big Trouble in Little China." Also, I love "In the Mouth of Madness," which "out-Kings" Stephen King. On a slightly more "serious" note, try "Cube," "Hypercube," "Dark City," and "The Game." |
