August Suggestions

Please stick your ideas for August here. We'll have the usual poll later in the month.

Re: August Suggestions

I nominate Quatermass and the Pit (aka: Five Million Years to Earth), as I gather it is one of Hammer's best.

 

[GrownUp]

Re: August Suggestions

I nominate "The Iron Giant" because of the deeply philosophical reason that I've been given the DVD as a present.

 

[Tsujigiri]

Re: August Suggestions

I second Quatermass & the Pit, excellent film!

 

[polymorphikos]

Re: August Suggestions

Since there don't seem to be too many nominations, can I change mine to Orpheus (aka Orphée), the Jean Cocteau one, and bring it up to three?

Re: August Suggestions

I'll nominate John Carpenter's Prince Of Darkness

Re: September film suggestions

I suggest a theme...vampire films...what have people seen in this sub-genre of (usually) horror? what struck them as unique and discussion worthy? variations on the traditional vampire story etc.

 

[Foxbat]

Re: September film suggestions

Yeah, Okay. Let's go with a vampire theme. My suggestion for this month is Guillermo Del Toro's Cronos.

 

[ravenus]

Re: September film suggestions

What I meant was let's discuss an entire theme instead of a single film...as in let's discuss Vampitres in Film and everyone can talk about whatever films they want to in the genre, traditional of nouveau.

 

[Foxbat]

Re: September film suggestions

Oops!

If there's no objections then I'll open a discussion thread at the end of the month on this. If somebody else wants to propose another genre for discussion then we can run a poll and see what comes out on top

 

[ravenus]

Re: September film suggestions

If Vampires in Film is too broad one can consider a theme like Non-traditional Vampires in film.

October suggestions

It's that time again

I think that the september discussion on the theme of vampires in film has gone pretty well so far. It will probably be worthwhile pursuing other theme discussions in later months but there's always the old adage of 'too much of a good thing'.

With that in mind, it's back to the norm for now so please put any film suggestion for October here. We will have the usual poll near the end of the month.

PS. If anybody has any ideas for theme discussions please let me know. If a good idea turns up we could run it again in two or three months time.

Re: October suggestions

I nominate Suspiria. It is a fairytale-esque horror film about a young woman who joins a famed dance academy in Germany, only to find it presided-over by witches. The use of colour and lighting is supposed to be stunning (the stills seem to agree, and the soundtrack is excellent), and it's ranked Dario Argento's best work.

Speaking of which, if we do another theme month then can we discuss Witches/Warlocks/Miscellaneous magic-users.
