what kind of movies do you people watch?
and does anyone have any good recommendations to make?

a quick top 10 for me would be as follows.

Tetsuo: The Iron man
Thirteenth Warrior
Tom Yum Goong
Endless Summer 2
Terminator 2 JUdgement Day
Die Hard
Point Break
Shadow of the Vampire
The Hidden
Natural Born Killers

finally someone that recognizes that TETSUO is a great movie!!!
I can't make a list... I like all kind of movies, from slapstick comedy to experimental ones... I like japanese movies (Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Wakamatsu, Tsukamoto, Miike, Kitano... and more... even some movies of Miyazaki).
I like italian directors (Fellini, Leone, Moretti...) I really liked Gomorra. It's a great movie.
About comedy, yeah... I like Ben Stiller and those stupid comedies (still have to watch Tropic Thunder...) but I just watch them on tv when I don't have nothing else to do, beer, chips and my gf... but something I can't stop doing is watching the movies from Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma...).
Try to watch Salo or 120 Days of Sodoma by Pier Paolo Pasolini. It's the most tragic movies he has ever shot, but maybe his best one is the first "Accattone" ...

yes i love tsukamoto's material. tetsuo is my all time favorite movie
my ex had a lot o miike's stuff too, but i dont think i watched much of it.
miyazaki from studio gihbli?

off the top of my head, I'd say:

Evil Dead 2
Reanimator
Dellamore Dellamorte
The Reflecting Skin
Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes
die Blechtrommel
Gates of Hell (or any Fulci. So bad they're good)
Phantasm
Singapore Sling

Basically I can't stand anything put out by hollywood, no matter what the genre, I can't stand most comedy unless it's something like Braindead, and I watch mostly horror and exploitation.

cabinet of dr caligari!!! i love silent movies, my favourite one is nosferatu though.
my ex gf's grandmother used to play organ in a silent movie theatre.

I'd call the evil dead trilogy comedy though, do you prefer evil dead 2, to army of darkness?
someone told me they're apparently remaking evil dead, which doesnt make any sense to me
since evil dead 2 is pretty much a remake of evil dead...

yeah i love most old german expressionist films really.

Yeah, but I mean I only watch comedy if there is a lot of gore in it, not the kind of comedy with like jim carrey or ben stiller in it. ^_^ I like AOD all right but I like ED and ED2 better. It would piss me off if they remade ED. =0\ apparently there are no more original ideas left for movies. ^_^

you have been pretty productive havent you!
did you ever watch tetsuo: The Iron Man or other shinya tsukamoto films?
and if so did you ever come across any other movies while reviewing that were anything like Tetsuo?

though they're korean movies, that's why i liked moui and tale of two sisters. filmed nicely and manage to make everything sort of weird and creepy, even without really using any gore.

I loved Wild Zero though it was a comedy. There was a drinking game for it, whenever flames shot of anything (cars, microphones, etc), when someone shouted "rock n roll!" or whenever someone was drinking, you had to take a drink. ^_^ Good times. Also liked Junk and Biozombie somewhat, but they were sort of forgettable.

only movie you mentioned there which i know is tale of two sisters, i love the scene where they show the dead mother, the way she moves is so brilliantly done, kind of like the way the girl in ringu moves when she crawls out of the tv

oh yeah, i saw that but can barely remember it now, but i seem to recall that bit.

I liked the making-of stuff on the tale of two sisters DVD where they showed how they had the actress floating above the bed and stuff. Some of the interviews on the disc were shit though, too much overdone pop-psychology. Another fun making-of was the Guinea pig He never dies one, which is better than the movie it's about, lol. i think it covered flower of flesh and blood too. was interesting how they did the effects in that.

where would one go to get guinea pigs series on DVD? are they readily available?
i just downloaded all of them in a torrent, but therefore i dont have any of the extras, i did see some of the making of on youtube.com when i use to search for the trailer son there before i tracked down a torrent for the movies.

i might have to borrow the tale of two sisters dvd from my ex to have a look cause i dont think i watched any of the extras on there, i usually only watch the "deleted scenes" bits anyway.

if you havent seen it before, i recommend checking out The Hidden

The Beyond
I Spit On Your Grave
Taxi Driver
Reservoir Dogs
Deep Red
Sleepaway Camp
Slumber Party Massacre
Space Balls
Coffin Joe Collection
Rosemary's Baby
