Why don't we all state our favorite movie moments as well? Spoiler tags where appropriate folks.

Seen them?
I've got them on DVD even the Evil Dead Special Edition that actually looks like the book!
I watched them all in one weekend, and then again with the directors comment, and then AGAIN with Bruce's..
JOIN US!
Castle of Cagliostro is the only Lupin III moive I've seen... I hope to see the rest...
OK! You asked for it! Here are the even geekier movies I like!
-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
-Metropolis (The Ozamu Tezuka version, haven't seen the original yet)
-Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost
-Ghost in the Shell
-Spiritual Kung-Fu
-Kung Pow
-Shaolin Soccer
-Evil Ed
And.... dare I say it?
TOMB RAIDER! (prepares himself to get panned)
To make the list sort, here is one of my mottos:
"There is nothing better than a bad horror movie!"
And just put in nearly every Jackie Chan movie, Godzilla or Gamera movie in to the mix and you got my favourite movies list (With just a dash of anime, a sprig of sci-fi, and some comedy to taste)...
Well Phil25, here is a moment from a movie I love, the Army Of Darkness windmill scene! Its like something from a Tom & Jerry or Bugs Bunny cartoon, some may says its more "3 Stooges", but I can't tell because we dont have their movies in Spain...

It rules. I got the opportunity to see it in a movie theatre with reconstructed sound, etc. Very awesome. I haven't seen the new one, but I'm not in a big hurry.

Also, Evil Dead rules. I have the Evil Dead 2 special edition collector's tin. Awesome stuff.

Your obsession with Evil Dead is most understandable. They all rule. Although how the hell you can enjoy Jackie Chan movies and Tomb Raider is beyond me.

Have you seen the trailer for the new Bruce Campbell film? It's called Bubba Ho-tep.

He he, I even have the "If Chins Could Kill" and "Evil Dead Companion" books, not to mention the games...
I think I have seen the trailer to Bubba Ho-tep, but I'm not sure if that movies will ever make it here...
I can understand that you didn't enjoy Tomb Raider, it may be a bad movie, but its the best movie based on videogame IMHO, that's why I put it in the list....
The Jackie Chan thing is kinda a funny story, since I spent my youth playing japanese games and watching anime, everobody assumed I liked martial arts movies, I didn't...
But about 5 years ago... I saw a Jackie Chan movie, and became a fan...
One question, have you seen the US Jackie Chan movies(Rush Hour), or the ones he made in his homeland (Drunken Fist)?
Oh did I tell you I saw Within the Woods? The prequel to Evil Dead or something like that....

He he he I have seen Within The Woods too.

I have never liked martial arts movies. A movie which only contents is about people kicking eachother sounds incredibly boring in my ears. But a cool fight is...well kind of a cool thing to watch. 8-) I really liked Brotherhood Of The Wolf (Le Pacte Des Loups) och The Musketeer was fun and those included some martial arts. The only 100% martial art movie I have enjoyed is Hero which had a good story to. I have a friend who is obsessed with Jackie Chan so I have seen many of his movies old as well as new and they have all sucked big time IMHO.

Saw that too. Not too wonderful obviously but since it got Raimi money it's great to me.



I've been excited about Bubba Ho-Tep for a while but I haven'te seen the trailer. Where can one get it?

Lucky you, how am I gonna get mine signed? I don't think Bruce will ever visit Spain...
It sucks to be a geeky fanboy in Spain, nobody knows Godzilla, and when I tell them about Bruce Campbell, I have to say "You know, the thief from Xena and Hercules!" ....
I had to buy the Evil Dead moives IMPORT!
The trailer of Bubba Ho-tep is here .
The only signed thing I have is a comic of underground artist, who has now lost nearly all of his fans...

Somehow I need to see Bubba Ho-Tep, I've watched that trailer too many times.

Bruce is seems to be doing a wonderful job in portraying the King.

This movie is a must-see.

Holy crap. Holy crap. That trailer ruled. If that film isn't released near me I'm going to...I don't know, I'll do something very unpleasant.

Yeah, I love Donnie Darko too. One of my favorite parts is when
Spoiler:
Donnie is in the washroom with Frank and keeps stabbing him repeatedly in the eye with the knife

hehe, I think one of my favorite moments is
Spoiler:
In the auditorium when Donnie ask Jim Cunningham questions.
Because I admire his courage there.

But the whole movie is so good, that it wouldn't really be fair to pick out a few moments.
There are too many
