The Black Scorpion (1957)
- Fun 50s sci-fi monster movie in which giant scorpions terrorize Mexico.
Una sull'altra (1969) - Early stylish thriller from Fulci, often referred to as a giallo, but that's probably debatable.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) - Yep, it's that time of year.

Hey_Sweden — 9 years ago(December 19, 2016 08:10 AM)
I love a good 50s giant monster movie. I know I've had "The Black Scorpion" on my Amazon.ca wish list for a while.
I watched "Christmas Vacation" earlier in the month. Great stuff. "Merry Christmas! Sh*tter was full!"
What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life! -

One of my favorite moments from John Krish's highly influential 'The Wild Affair' - Terry-Thomas as the lecherous boss, Jimmy Logan as the even more lecherous executive, the incomparable Victor Spinetti stealing the film as he creates the ultimate "vampire look" on the wonderful Nancy Kwan, who sports a Vidal Sassoon bob and a Mary Quant dress! -
And to celebrate the upcoming festivities, a beautiful track by "Le Groupe X" (actually electronic wizard Gianluigi Pezzera), for the strange and disturbing Sadean trip, 'La cerimonia dei sensi' -
Merry Christmas, Horror Board!

Happy Holidays Scott and fellow horror movie watchers,
I'm wearing a handmade t-shirt at work today that has a picture of Santa and just the words, "You Better Watch Out." It's my favorite Christmas garb - and only partially because of the movie with the same title (aka Christmas Evil). A very underrated flick by most - glad to see you really appreciate it. Another underrated flick on your week's watchings that I think is terrific is The Border - great performances, direction, story - just a top notch film all around.
Here's what I watched last week (3 Bressons and a Christmas movie!):

For me it's up there with A Christmas Story, Scrooge (w/ Alistair Sim), It's a Wonderful Life, Bad Santa, A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (w/ Karloff). It would be a Sophie's Choice moment if I was forced to pick a favorite.
Happy holidays!

beatnik!
Your viewings last week gave me the strangest film scenario/dream ever - can you image Bresson directing the wicked and vicious creatures: a Gremlin-Mouchette, Gremlin-pickpocket, Gremlin-country priest, What a combination you've made, Bresson-Gremlins!
Grab those Francos, they're great. 'Elles font tout' has one of Lina Romay's most delicious comic performances as a porn actress teaching invaluable sex lessons on three problematic couples. 'Plaisir à trois' is Franco in pure Sadean mode, inspired by "La Philosophie dans le boudoir" and one of his most visual succulent and hauntingly disturbing films (with memorable performances, particularly Alice Arno, never more beautiful; make sure to put your hands on the absolutely gorgeous
Mondo Macabro
DVD release). 'La casa de las mujeres perdidas' is top Franco, a claustrophobic melodrama, centering on the slow disintegration of an isolated family (very similar to 'The Hot Nights of Linda').
Happy Holidays, Mr. psychotronic,

I picture a Bresson Grmelins where they cause everything to go wrong in A Man Escaped. The Balthasar Gremlins might be too much to take - imagining them heaping more torture upon Balthasar, but these are wonderfully funny scenarios.
If you haven't found it already the Film Companion for 2017 is posted and ready for next year's film logging. Here's the link:
