Ahh, yes the dangers of the dice. Coherent rationality comparable to that of Reefer Madness, oh a joy to behold these idiots are.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
Watchmen. This was crap, if it wasn't trying to be so damn cool, it would've been funny, but between wannabe psycotics, giant smiley faces in the middle of volcanoes, Roarshack tests made out of pools of blood,sex deprived glowing blue people, and flaming orgasms of death, the resulting stench of overdramatization left me gagging and on the floor begging for mercy.
Not an attack but a question, did you read the Graphic Novel?

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

I like how you think BrotherStynier ,in fact here are a few other "great" films your friends might enjoy The flesh eaters.

After viewing theses "masterpieces" I'll be surprised if your friends still speak to you.

-Da Vince Code. SO crap. Worse storyline EVA!
-Watchmen. My 10-year-old bro watched that with me. I think he still has nightmares. We actually didn't expect it to turn out like it did. (Although a guy getting chucked out a window first scene should have been a little warning)
-Star Trek: Nemesis. The only good part was when the ship crashed. Never watching Trekkie films EVA again!

Angels and Demons, i literally was so pissed off at the end. It was horrible, im a big fan of both the books, and they couldnt even follow the basic stroyline.
I mean they missed out a CHARACTER. A pretty important one too! The WRONG BLOODY POPE WAS ELECTED! The Last Illiumintati Symbol was wrong!

How can you go wrong with a slogan like that,I mean that's right up there with "In space no one can hear you scream".
I'm definatly looking forward to watching it.
And now I'll leave you with this cinematic masterpiece.

Hey Alien could have easily ended up being one of these films had Fox not have loved it.
I was gonna try and be witty and leave an AVP trailer in response to Dracula vs Frankenstein, but then after watching the trailer all the way, through had a change of heart.
They Live is a classic!!!! Yes it deserves to be on a bad movie list. But it just brings back memories. Hard to watch out of context. It was a generational thing. I had my wife watch big trouble in little china. She is the same age as me and thought she might appreciate it. WOW was I wrong. She is Japanese and came here 7 years ago. It is a big time had to grow up with it, kind of thing. Classic line from "They Live" - I have come to chew bubble gum and kick a , and I'm all out of bubble gum. Roddy rocks!
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I preferred 'The Thing'.
And 'Big Trouble in Little China' is great. My dad made me watch all of the movies mentioned in the post when I was growing up, okay didn't make but you get the picture.
The thing is a classic GOOD movie. They live is complete trash but with heart. Low budget, bad acting, inventive but semi silly plot and seeing roddy act was a gift back then. But it takes as certain type of person to enjoy They Live. I would not recommend it to anyone ever!! But could talk about it for hours with someone and watch it over and over. Cult classic but not a REAL classic. We are on the same page it seems BrotherStynier.
The status of The Thing is really up to many people who have seen it, and sadly many people my age, have not seen that movie. While it is a good movie, I feel it probably falls more into Cult status.
They Live was the source of inspiration for much of Duke Nukem, from the line mainly associated with him "Kick ass and Chew bubble gum, to him being a Blond Muscled dude in tight blue jeans and a red shirt wielding a shotgun. It sad to see many people not pay credit to They Live for those things.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't They Live partially a crack at how the US had started wasting it money on trivial things, and doing what the Corporations wanted?
In its genera The Thing would be a classic. In general, given its age, it is probally now a cult classic but I would say that transition is pretty new for it. I think your view of They Live is pretty close to what they were going for, I think.
So The Thing is in its transitional phase. Well it does seem that way with all the Billboards and everything saying, buy this, do that.
Speaking of Classic movies, the are lots of people my age who when I met them in High School had never seen a John Wayne movie in their life, and one person a girl I liked at the time had never seen any of the Star Wars movies.
Speaking of John Wayne, sadly enough he does get a movie on this list.
The Conqueror, where the Duke played Genghis Khan, its also the movie that is attributed as being responsible for his death. They filmed near some nuke test sites and he and several crew members got cancer from it (His Lung cancer from smoking had already been stopped).
Just be aware that it gets MUCH worse...you have been warned.
Oh I am excited now, I must now search the net for it.
,in fact here are a few other "great" films your friends might enjoy
