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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That crappy Tom Cruise-Nicole Kidman movie about the land rush?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And other war movies, like the two flicks that Eastwood did on Iwo Jima. (Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima.)

Or perhaps war movies are not what juliana's mother has in mind?

ION, The 25 Scariest Moments in Non-Horror Movies

Ooh.

The only way the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" doesn't make this is list is if you disqualify it on the grounds that it's so consistently scary that it actually is a horror movie disguised as a children's film.

I've been saying that for years! It's totally a slasher flick.

I disremember - does anyone die? I mean, I'd see your point if the Blueberry girl exploded and sprayed blueberry goo all over....

No one actually dies, no. But each child has a horrible accident and is NEVER SEEN AGAIN.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I still remember Un Chien Andalou fondly. It sent numerous college athletes from my Motion Picture Appreciation class running for the toilets while I sat there chuckling thanks to 15 years of Creature Feature marathons and reading Lovecraft and King before bed.

Oh yeah, I remember. So you're left wondering WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM....

Didn't Wonka say he might be able to fix miniaturized TV Boy? Or that he couldn't fix him? For some reason I remember being more freaked out about his fate than the others. Maybe I was wondering if he was supposed to be tiny for the rest of his life....

Ann, that's a ferret.

Blair Witch Project is definitely a horror film, and there's no blood at all. So I wouldn't dismiss the argument about Willy Wonka. Though I'd probably call Willy Wonka more of a morality play.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Awesome thoughts, y'all! Thank you, and I shall pass them on.

Ooh - good one from DH - The Matrix

Heh. That and Ocean's 11 were the first ones out of my mouth. Then, I said Blade Runner , but she probably wouldn't have time to pick apart BR (it's due Monday, I get my procrastination tendencies honestly).
