Hmm, it’s like choosing between Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux?

I am not lost. I know exactly where I am, I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I deserve. But you… YOU are lost. All my life I thought that I needed you, that I couldn’t survive without you, fuck! Fuck! It was the other fucking way around. It was the other way around.

The Lost Boys

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

The Lost Boys, a great one. Although all the sequels… Not so much

Just looked up a synopsis for Empire of the Sun, I’m definitely going to look for this one.

War films really interest me.

Thank you

Yes! Real Genius was going to lead my second list.

Oh and KillerQueen, you should think about posting little reviews of the films you catch here. It’s always interesting to hear new perspectives.

I can’t push Time Bandits hard enough. Brilliant film. Almost splurged on the Criterion blu-ray the other day, I think I’ll probably go back for it in the near future.

Time Bandits seem to be one that I haven’t seen but should.

Definitely check that one out. I can’t believe I forgot about it!

I wouldn’t compare it to that, because there’s no contest between Apocalypse Now and Redux. The original is best, because Redux only has one additional scene that adds to the film in a positive way (Robert Duvall’s entrance). In the Blade Runner Cuts, there are at least some positives on both ends, though I would go for International or Director’s Cut.

Tron. It’s a bit dated and silly at times but I absolutely love it.

Wow, you guys are a godsend, I have enough to keep me distracted for quite a bit.

I love finding new-old films.

The Roadgames one, anything like The Hitcher? Im talking the old one with Rutger Hauer. WHAT A MOVIE!

I swear, I was born in the wrong era… I mean I was born in the 80s, but didn’t really get to experience it you know. 90s… BLUGGGGHHH

I am not lost. I know exactly where I am, I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I deserve. But you… YOU are lost. All my life I thought that I needed you, that I couldn’t survive without you, fuck! Fuck! It was the other fucking way around. It was the other way around.
