That Reminds Me
 

I don't know how well this will go over, but it could be interesting...Maybe even fun :p


Sometimes a movie will remind you of another movie...It could be because the movies are similar (same theme, same atmosphere, a similar title, etcetera)...Or it could be that it has an actor or a character that makes you think of another movie with that actor or similar character...The memory could also be personal, maybe you watched 2 movies on the same night, with the same person or as a double-feature (like at the drive-in), so one movie makes you think of the other...Sometimes we don't have any idea why a movie might makes us think of another one, but it happens


Anyway...This is how it's done


One person says '*movie title* reminds me of *movie title*...Then gives a reason why (if they HAVE a reason, if there is no reason, or you just don't want to explain, then don't give a reason)....The next person takes the last movie mentioned and says '*last movie title* reminds me of *movie title*'...and it keeps going from there


Example:

Start with Dreamscape


First answerer: Dreamscape reminds me of Nightmare On Elm Street

That's pretty self-explanatory...People being killed in their dreams

Second answerer: Nightmare On Elm Street reminds me of Sleepy Hollow

Johnny Depp was in both

Third answerer: Sleepy Hollow reminds me of Scanners

People lose their heads

The next person would start with 'Scanners'

I hope this isn't too complicated :)

If more than one person responds to the same thing, just go with the last movie you see mentioned at the time that you post your answer.

The Hamiltons reminds me of Martin

Both have silimar takes on the vampire myth.

Martin reminds me of Razor Blade Smile

The picture on the DVD case for Martin makes me think of Razor Blade Smile

Razor Blade Smile reminds me of Undead

Both looked promising but ended up being terrible films.

Undead reminds me of Dead And Breakfast

Both are indy films that I watched on the same night...Both were gory and funny...I loved both of them and they are permanenly stuck together in my head :)

Dead and Breakfast reminds me of Kill Bill

Both put David Carridene (sp? - can't be fucked looking it up haha) back in the spotlight.

Kill Bill reminds me of James Bond 007


Both are movies that everyone talks about, but I haven't watched them...The action scenes I've seen (the girl in yellow) make me think of James Bond

James Bond reminds me of Austin Powers

Both were spy flicks :)

Austin Powers reminds me of Trilogy of Terror II because I watched them both my freshman year in high school with my friend Martin.

Trilogy Of Terror 2 reminds me of Cat's Eye

The thing on the cover of Trilogy Of Terror 2 always makes me think of the little troll in Cat's Eye...And they are both anthologies

Trilogy of Terror makes me think of Tomb of Terror, because they have similar titles.

*nevermind* broke the game my bad :)

NOOO, it's fine...It happens...the next person just goes with the title they see last when they post.

It's all good :)

Tomb of Terror makes me think of Tomb Raider. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Tomb Raider makes me think of Raiders Of The Lost Arc

Raider, Raiders... ya get the drift holmes?

Raiders of the Lost Arc makes me think of Scrooged. I LOVE Karen Allen. She is such a sweet babe.

Scrooged makes me think of Gremlins

because they were always both on TV during xmas.

Gremlins reminds me of Critters

Horror/Comedies from the 80s, with a bunch of funny little killy things

Also, one-word, 2-syllable, plural titles

Critters reminds me of Return Of The Living Dead Part 2, because the first time I saw either of them, was on a double feature.

Return of the Living Dead II reminds me of Bad Taste. My current boyfriend introduced me to those movies at the same time.

Bad Taste reminds me of Psycho - because they're both awesome movies that I fell asleep during upon my first viewing (through no fault of the movies themselves - I was just too tired!)

Psycho reminds me of Nosferatu, because I saw both of them for the first time in my film class.

EDIT - I was technically first, but the game seems to have progressed from Elvis's post.

I see how it is...no love for the penguin.... ;)

Nosferatu reminds me of Vampyr

rayne: this is a very neat thread

vampyr reminds me of eraserhead, as they're both dripping with atmosphere and focus more on the experience of watching than following a traditional narrative.

Eraserhead reminds me of Tetsuo - It's clear that Shinya Tsukamoto took a LOT of his inspiration from Lynch and I can't think of one of these films without immediately thinking of the other.

Tetsuo reminds me of Akira - I think this one explains itself if you're familar with the latter.

Akira reminds me of Ninja Scroll

first films like this I ever watched

Ninja Scroll reminds me of Vampire Hunter D


I think it's just the anime thing

vampire hunter d reminds me of black sunday, probably because of the gothic atmosphere.

Black Sunday Reminds me of Black Christmas

But, only based on the name...Black (of course), and Sunday is a holy sabbath day while Christmas is supposed to be a religious holiday

Black Christmas reminds me of A Christmas Story because I watched them both on Christmas Day two years ago.

A Christmas Story reminds me of A Christmas Carol


Obvious reason

I absolutely loved A Christmas Carol when I was little...It was one of my first favorite ghost movies :)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029992/

Somehow it seemed 'spookier' in black and white

ok.......this posting under two names is kinda freaking me out.

that is definitely my favorite version of the story, too, rayne.

a christmas carol reminds me of the nightmare before christmas, since they're both essential holiday viewing for me.

Sorry Doll, I have to use the other account to clean up after the stupid spammers, they seem to be relentless now, and as SOON as I sign into THIS account, they start again...So, I stayed on the other for a little while

I can ban them while I'm on this account (because the ban board is separate), but I have to switch to remove their stupid posts from here

Nightmare Before Christmas reminds me of Corpse Bride

Another obvious one...I love Tim Burton :)

Corpse Bride reminds me of Evil Dead II.

Curiously, I can't get the thought of headless Linda prancing around the cabin out of my head.

Evil Dead II reminds me of Pet Sematary because I used to have a copy of them on the same tape years ago.

i cant do this with movies .. i tried and got nothing..

but i can with actors ..


sean young reminds me of debra winger..

gene hackman reminds me of michael caine...

Pet Sematary reminds me of Love Potion No. 9 because they both have Dale Midkiff.
