there's a french Zombie movie called "Zombie lake" basically they use every chance they can to show a naked french girl bathing, there's zombie knife fights, also the zombies are nazi's and one of them actually has a heart of sorts....like emotions....just see if we can add it...it's awesomely bad.
Oh man, I loved Ong Bak! We also saw this other movie starring Tony Jaa that was pretty much the same as Ong Bak except it had an elephant instead of a god. It even co-starred the same comedic relief buddy, this time as a friendly cop! Based on these two movies, we believe that Tony Jaa movies are written using Mad Libs.
Ong Bak is one of the best action movies ever made. Keep an eye out for Born to Fight as well, it's by the same director. Two villages get completely destroyed and they nuke something. With a nuke.
What's the name of Jaa's other movie though? That guy is a legend.
Also: Maximum Overdrive should definitely be on the list. Any film that has a man killed by a soft-drink vending machine is gold in my books.
EDIT: Incredibly delayed thanks to Mario for the list upgrade as well. It's looking pretty damned stylish now.
I know Jaa's coming out with another movie by the end of the month called "The Protector". It looks to be more of the same, which is great, when it means he leaps 20 feet off the top of a building and knees a guy in the face when the guy was hanging from a helicopter.
Hmm..slightly off topic with Jaa and such, but at last nights "Zombie Movie Night" that me and my friends have randomly, we watched a quality movie i saw on the list, and I can't wait till it comes around again, so I can watch it again and talk about it. That movie is 'Undead" it was amazing. Also, another reccomendation would be "V for Vendetta" although it may not seem it, it does have a sci-fi ish sense in the fact it's a future based movie. with an odd timeline.
Yes, I need to see The Protector as well. Very badly. And I'll find out the name of Tony Jaa's elephant movie-- Jon, you'll be pleased to know that much of the elephant movie takes place in Australia.
I second Zombie Lake! I've been dying to see that for years, ever since one of my first bad horror-movie buddies told me about it (by its alternate title, Das Lake, which I adore).
Lets watch "Manos: The hands of fate" officially the worst movie ever made. Ever.
A sign of the pure awfulness of it: The opening sequence has a car driving through the country. No dialogue or nout, just a car driving, because they forgot to put the credits in
Hey, I just want to clear up a previous post: Tony Jaa's "Give Me Back My Elephant" movie actually isThe Protector. I didn't realize they were the same, because there were no elephants in the advertising here.
In fact, a lot of the elephanty parts were cut out for the American version. Which did not stop us from laughing every time Tony Jaa's line translated to 'Where is my elephant!?"
A friendly reminder: next weekend is Plan 9 From Outer Space. I bring this up because the movie is in the public domain, and is therefore available for free legal download for all to see! Here's a Google Video link, where you can watch it in your browser, or download in various formats of your choice. You really don't have an excuse when the movie's free!
You do if your electricity stops working, and your laptop cannot connect to your wireless router which has no power! (Happened to me a week ago. It was like the stone-age)

More movie updates! I just added Gattaca, Labyrinth and Clash of the Titans to the mix! I remember people expressing interest in participating a few pages back, so if you've got any ideas for more movies you'd like to discuss, please let it be known here! As usual, check Netflix first to see if the movie's out on DVD and therefore easy for most of us to access. I'm sorry we haven't been able to post about the movies like we used to, but we're going to make a concerted effort to get back in the game, and the more of you that participate, the better! Let's get SCIENCE!ing!
Pi. That reminds me of the day someone in my 3D Game Math class was taunting the teacher with a crudely drawn sign in his notebook that said "Pi = 3". The teacher went on for roughly an hour about rounding after that. I think I very nearly died of boredom.
I may be able to watch the SCIENCE! movie this week. It'd be the first one I've been able to get in on.
I reccomend Game Over (worst movie ever) Battlefield Earth (I never saw it, it looked sooo bad, but i never had a good excuse)
I second Pi!
How 'bout Lost Highway or Mulholland Dr.? Maybe with our combined intellect we can figure out what actually happened in one of those movies.
Oh, and Miss Congeniality 2!
EDIT: Oh and I don't know the name of it, but I remember a long time ago I saw a double feature on TV with Night of the Living Dead and a movie about sliced bread attacking and eating people. If anyone knows the name of that movie, please let me know!
Primer, which is a GREAT garage-inventor-sci-fi-intrigue film and quite SCIENCE!y.
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., at least the pilot, for a taste of cowboys and aliens, a particularly unique cast of villains, and Bruce Campbell.
The Fountain, now out on DVD, which is a quite-artistic psychadelic headtrip: recursive narrative, cancer research, and Hugh Jackman almost making out with a hairy tree in the midst of outer space.
Children Of Men, a gripping dystopian-future film that has some of the most breathless single-take action sequences. Very SCIENCE!y.
Intacto, a Bradburian thriller about a black market of ...luck. It's best if you just see it cold. The director went on to make 28 Weeks Later.
Mimic, perhaps? Guillermo del Toro before Hellboy, Blade II, and Pan's Labyrinth...plus giant cockroaches played by Doug Jones, the Silver Surfer.
I second the Iron Giant, and I've got to see a movie about sliced bread attacking.
Did we watch Clash of the Titans this year? Because I need to see it again. I just never get tired of pointing out how the male lead looks like Jim Morrison, except dumb.

Australian zombie-fighting and an actor who's name is Mungo. It doesn't get much better than that.
And I am pretty sure that if I don't see "The Protector" that I will spontaneously combust. With rage. Rage at not seeing helicopter kneeings.

EDIT: Totally masochistic idea. Watch every movie from MST3K in its original form.
Yeah, don't.

Or if your Dell laptop catches fire.
But yeah, I'll watch it. =p

Also, we're almost at the end of the old list, so we need suggestions for additions, and fast.
TETSUOOOOOOOO!!!!
KANEDAAAAAA!!!!
as for suggestions:
well, if it's for SCIENCE!tific films -
I reccomend Game Over (worst movie ever)
Battlefield Earth (I never saw it, it looked sooo bad, but i never had a good excuse)
