I watched that at the recommendation of someone here (I just can't seem to remember who now :rolleyes: ) and really loved it.

Awesome. Now I'm watching it ASAP.

Rik Mayall is awesome in that movie. The 80's BBC show The Young Ones is one of my all time favorites.

The first time I saw it when I was younger I couldn't watch the end and I thought it ended with lizzie taking the last pill to get rid of drop dead fred. I was sad for weeks. :(

I can't believe it has a 4.7 rating on imdb!

Plague Dogs, SLC Punk, Pi, Garden State

Ditto that.

(I HAD to quote your post if for NO other reason but to have yet another picture of Rik Mayall in this thread... LOVED Drop Dead Fred when I was wee, and I LOVE The Young Ones.

Quote:

The young ones, Oh, Darling we're the young ones, And young ones Shouldn't be afraid! To live, love! While the flame is strong! For we wont be the young ones Very long!

Its one of my absolute all-time favs ever, Alky. I m surprised you havent seen it yet.:p

Anyways, happy viewing! I am sure you will enjoy it immensely.:)

what did you like about that film? i thought it was complete garbage.

whether or not you consider it a horror, I'm gonna put face/off on the list. Coz I'd call it more of an action.

its not horror at all.

If face-off is horror then Simpsons are horror too

I only said that because the idea of someones face being taken off and put on a psychopaths face is pretty bad. I'd class it as action but I thought there might be someone out there that classes it as horror.
