'Heart Of Gold'
Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The house in It's a Wonderful Life turned out well, too!
Things turned out OK with the house in Miracle on 34th Street
But we never saw the sequel, Terror in the 'Burbs!, when Margaret O'Hara brings home the Easter Bunny from work, and dreadful things happen when the bunny runs amok. Death, carnage, and what he does with that tire swing in the backyard...just horrible!
Yes! The Gate! Love that movie. I wanted a stuffed little demon guy.
Okay, movies with words like "miracle" and "wonderful" in the title are exempt.
That crap movie with Dennis Quaid is another one in the genre. I want to say Cold Comfort Farm, except that's obviously not it. Cold Creek Manor?
Cold Creek Manor. Not that I watched it or anything.
Also, The Tenant & Rosemary's Baby if you count apartments/condos, etc.
If only a person could know what sort of movie they were in.
Another "house" movie is Stephen King's Rose Red.
Oh, come on! There's got to be at least one movie in which buying a house lead to something other than the occupants being terrorized or burglarized or haunted or impregnated with Satan's spawn.
