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.
I threw a huge Halloween party one year and put the Langella Dracula on the iMac as background. Within 2 minutes the entire room full of fully costumed adults hit the carpet in rapt attention. Most everyone said it was their favorite version.
God help me, I really like Dracula 2000 too. "Never, fuck with an antiques dealer!" Yeah. Guilty pleasure.
Holy crap - that's available? I've been wanting to see that for years.
It was recently finally released on DVD.

And ordered. Whee!
Just stumbled on this, but it's too funny and I needed to share.
Elaine May's tribute to Mike Nichols at his AFI lifetime achievement award.
So I just watched Infernal Affairs. It was good, but I still prefer The Departed, which could be Saw It First Syndrome in addition to liking the director and the cast. I thought Sam was more likable than Costello, and I wish there were more scenes with him. The thing I liked the most about this version, however, was the characterization of Lau, as opposed to Sullivan. He's more interesting here, and it makes his character into one of two protagonists rather than the antagonist. It threw me at first, but I did believe that he wanted to be a good guy, and so I was a little more okay that Mark Wahlberg didn't come in and shoot him at the end.
Tony Leung rules all.
The Guardian lists their top 25 SFF movies.
I've seen all but 4. I suspect that even if I had seen Starship Troopers, it wouldn't make my list. Most of the rest are pretty standard choices.
I've seen all but three.
I love Starship Troopers, but it seems too goofy/funny to be in such a list.
I would definitely pick Robocop over Starship Troopers.
Huh, I've seen everything on that list but Spirited Away and Akira.
Also, what Scola said.
