After going through my DVDs, it’s come to my attention that there are some movies that I am sorely lacking. No matter how many I have, I don’t think that I can call my collection complete without these 10 movies:
Space Amoeba: I like daikaiju movies. Put a guy in a rubber suit and let him stomp around a city eating people and I’m a happy moviegoer. Make one of those monsters a giant cuttlefish, and I’m even happier. And while this one doesn’t have Godzilla himself in the cast, it holds up on it’s own as a giant monster movie.
Vampire Hunter D: Another item from Japan that I like would have to be anime. Well, any animation really, as long as it is good, but anime tends to have the right amount of weird added to it to make it interesting. Take for instance, this tale of a half vampire with a parasitic face on his hand. He goes around killing other vampires and their armies of monsters. He’s like blade, but with a better hat.
X-Men: The Animated Series: Speaking of animation, this show was the bomb back in the day. I used to like comics, and this show helped me to switch over to super hero comics from Donald Duck and Archie comics. I know this doesn’t really count as a movie, but I watched it so much on TV as a kid, it gets added to the list. With all the comics that I have read now, it’s also a lot of fun to watch them and look for the cameos and nods to other titles.
Friday the 13th: I used to own almost all of the movies. In fact, the only one that I didn’t own, was the original. That of course, was until my apartment was robbed. Now some crack headed douche nozzle in Philly is watching my Friday the 13th collection. I hope that he sits too close tot he TV and get’s eye cancer. Anyways, I’ve been toying with picking up the Crystal Lake to Manhattan boxed set, but have never gotten around to it.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome: It’s got midgets. It’s got giant retards. It’s got the most awesome case of post apocalyptic 80′s hair ever found on a female despot. Mel Gibson is in there somewhere too I guess, and he’s pretty awesome, but seriously, it’s got a midget who rides on a giant retard. You don’t need any other reasons to own this one.
Die Hard: I may have to turn in my man card with this one. It’s the movie that put Bruce Willis on the map as a bad ass. It gave us the line “Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.” and what is possibly the best Halloween costume ever. There is really no excuse for not owning this one and it’s subsequent sequels. None at all.
Lord of the Rings: If the Lord of the Rings books is the bible of nerds, then that would make these movies our Passion of the Christ. Watching these movies all together is basically an all day event. You call your friends over, break out the dice and Mountain Dew, then it’s game time. Maybe get about 8 or so people together and start playing Talisman or Hero’s Quest, see which ends first, the game or the movies…
Masters of the Universe: Dolph Lundgren is He-Man, and he is leaving Eternia to come to Earth, where he must fight Skeletor in a battle where techno music saves the day. A plot that only makes sense in the 80′s, and even then, you’re pushing it.
Terminator: I’ve got plenty other Arnold movies, I even have Hercules in New York. But I don’t have Terminator. I can’t even say that it was stolen when my apartment was robbed, I never owned this one. Like Die Hard, this is one of the great Guy Movies that I never owned.
Bikini Girls on Dinosaur Planet: Hot chicks: Check! Bikinis: Check! Dinosaurs: Check! I don’t really have any other reason behind this one. It’s got Seduction Cinema’s erotic scream queen Misty Mundae making out with chicks, and there are dinosaurs. The End. There is no other reason to want this. Like a reviewer on amazon says, “…would be great if they were aiming at an audience of 13-year olds…” Which perfectly describes me when it comes to dinosaurs… and women…
