Re: Actors you now like, but used to dislike?

I will second Channing Tatum. Also Ben Affleck and Matthew Mcconaughey have really stepped it up IMO.

I'm interested in what makes you so protective of it. Personally, I haven't seen anything to indicate a lot of quality. But then again, I'm not a superhero fan and haven't been paying much attention.

Re: What movie remakes/reboots would you like to see?

This sort of thread always makes me think of obscure, usually stupid horror movies, especially late '80s and '90s, that had really cool premises but not much else. Horror fans get very protective of...

Deep Red (1975)

Re: Deep Red (1975)

Deep Red is my favorite of Argento's films after Suspiria. It's dated, but definitely has its place in horror history. I won't lie though, I had a hard time watching the first time; I think I respect...

Re: Horror movies that aged well

Ooh, interesting topic. So many of the '70s and '80s pictures feel so cheesy and corny today. I love some decent horror for sure! In addition to what you mentioned:
Vampyr
Nosferatu

To share my experience, I became hooked on Von Trier's films a while back, and he climbs my list of favorite directors with every film of his I watch. So far I've seen The Element of Crime, Europa,...
