Forced Viewing
OK, this is how this thread works. I suggest three movies, someone watches one of them and posts what they thought of it. Then they get to suggest 3 movies, this will in all likelihood die a horrible death but that's ok. Don't pick a movie you've seen, the whole point is to FORCE you to watch new movies.
They Call me Bruce (Comedy) The Living in the Home of the Dead (Drama) The Sentinel (Horror)

The Sentinel was a 1977 horror movie based on the same name novel by Jeffery Konvitz.
It starred Cristina Raines, Chris Saradon and horror star great John Carradine. A beautiful but highly neurotic fashion model moves into a NYC brownstone house that has been divided into apartments. The house is inhabited on the top floor by a blind priest ( Carradine) who spends all of his time sitting at an open window. Having starnge physical problems and nasty flashbacks of her earlier suicide attempt, she complains to the real estate agent about the noisy neighbors only to find out that there are none. All of the supposed neighbors were dead criminals. She realizes that she is living in the gateway to hell and ultimately she has been put in the house for a reason. She is now the new Sentinel. The film originally caused controversy when it was revealed that the director ( Michael Winner) used actual disfigured people to represent demons in the climax. I personally found this film to be very good and very scary at times. It was an eerie film all the way through. I liked it. I would recommend it for viewing. It is available on DVD. My recommendations for viewing are: The Gathering (2001) (horror) Salem's Lot (1979- TV Movie) (horror/vampires) Kingdom Of The Spiders (1977) (horror/scifi) I recommended only films that are readily available on DVD. :) :) :) The Countess;)

Newb: Watch "They Call me Bruce" asap and get back with 3 suggestions to continue the thread. you will LOVE it! :) This may be a slower moving thread, but that's how it has to be. I might think of alterations to it. 2nd edit: sorry for being in a pissy mood, marya... Good review, but the whole point is for people to watch movies they haven't seen.
