Im a huge Silent film fan, I just thought this one was too long and boring. I loved Nosferatu, Metropolis, and Hunchback of Notre Dame though:)

All great films, try Vampyr (1932? too lazy to go look at my copy) it's not silient but the sound quality is so poor it might as well be. I believe it is originally a French film, and it is avaiable on DVD. I have taken to watching most silent films on my laptop, so I'm a lot closer, and can see the sub-titles a lot better.

Nosferatu,
Does not this word sound like the call of the death bird at Midnight? You dare not say it since the pictures will fade into dark shadows, ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed on your own blood

Wow! A real classic, one of the best.

Le Manoir Du Diable (The Devil's Castle) is considered the first "horror" film, but I don't think there is any copies of it. We discussed it in film class along with a couple of other very early silent films, unfortunately a lot of them are not available, or lost to the ages...damned old nitrate film.

1896, George Melies. 2 minutes long, what an epic!

I just watched Zombi 2 [AKA Zombie]...wow, that was one hell of a movie! Loved it! The "Wood+Eye" scene was amazing, so was the shark/zombie fight....but I cant see why these scenes get so much attention, and the scene with [Name would be a spoiler] laying on the floor getting ripped apart get none....strange!

Isnīt it also called "Zombie flesh eaters"?


If so, i didnīt like it so much. "City of the dead" was way better, with the count Dracula look alike who could make people bleed from their eyes. That was nicely made.:)

Casper (1995):Family ghost movie with the "old" ghost, and some movie parodies on The Exorcist, Ghostbusters and so on.

Monsters Inc.:Pixars well deserved Oscar nominated computer animated movie withn many great scares, jokes and touching scenes.

When Harry Met Sally:Classic 80s comedy, including the famous NYC restaurant scene.

Because [Until last night] I handt watched a movie in weeks, Im going overboard today. So far, Jeckyl and Hyde, Zombi, and, most recently, Highwaymen.

Very good movie. Fairly original [Albiet VERY perdicatable] plot, decent acting [Colm Feore, great as usual], and one hell of an ending!!!
