Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Agreed PC
Apocalypse Now was Heart of Darkness
Weekend at Bernie's was based a Shakespeare play.
Ah yes, the famous lost Weekend At Henry IV's.
