Would like to add Slade In Flame to this discussion, a very dark and gritty film, not what most people expected as they'd thought it'd be another Hard Days Night, Born To Boogie or Head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the so called classics were small budget independent films to start with, same with music, same with books. Same with one of my favorite bands The Velvet Underground, sold poorly initially, but would argue their first four albums are far more influential than anything Shania Twain's done. By the first couple of Love albums are incredibly good, would put them up there with the likes of The Stooges, New York Dolls or Frank Zappa.

Zappa is definately one of those marmite guys, you either get his music or you don't. Personally I got into him very late when somebody gave me his Thing Fish and Joe's Garage triple albums, some good stuff on there, but some shite too. As for The Stooges, would go as far as Iggy Pop's 70s albums too, especially Lust For Life and The Idiot. Are you much of a Lou Reed fan at all, Velvet Underground or solo?

Yeah love Lou Reed and VU, pretty much listen to anything Nico is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of its not your cup of tea, fair enough but it's mindblowingly new even now and the musicianship is something else. Listen I love a big chorus as much as the next person but there are times when it doesn't scratch a certain itch. Otherwise Oasis would be creative geniuses, which they aren't.

Hink what throws most people when listening to Zappa is his use of jazz phrasing, irregular time signatures and modulation. Got to agree with i think Rudi when he mentioned Beefheart, tried to listen to him but he does my head in real horrorshow. Getting back to the subject of films did you know that one of Viv Stanshall's most famous creations had a film made of him 'Sir Henry At Rawlinson End' It's a very strange film crammed with Stanshall's bizarre sense of surreal humour, but has a good cast, Trevor Howard Patrick Magee, Denise Coffey, Liz Smith and Viv Stanshall himself.

green genie Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sign of the times that there are some very mediocre horror in that list. Dont compare to Martyrs (original French version) , first Hellraiser , Baskin or even Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say so, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House On The Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Friday The 13th, Dawn Of The Dead, The Evil Dead and Zombie Flesh Eaters are concidered classics even to this day.

Not disagreeing they're classic and may have scared a few in their time, but still tame compared to what can see on uncontrolled cable tv now.

DavidLeesMullet Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 There's one film I'm sure you'll agree that even though its approaching 50 years old, is still as scary as it was on the day of its release...The Exorcist!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and I'd add The Omen, but it's the evil that man can do films rather than supernatural I find unsettling. Talking of which surprised Salo not on your original list.

Not in Crawley Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I've never found the Exorcist scary, even as a kid, but body horror films scare me witless. The Fly or even American Werewolf in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I remember my Dad bringing home the video of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on our trendy Ferguson Videostar recorder, totally freeked me out at the time, I was about 11 or 12 at the time though.

Not in Crawley Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Got a random day off today, done all the jobs so settling down for a proper Hollywood epic. Gone for the Fall of the Roman Empire over Spartacus as I've never seen it and Celopatra at 4 hours is a bit too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted February 15, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2021 Watched the Hanks movie News of the World on Netflix last night. Very good. Great cinematography and nigh on anything with Tom Hanks in tends to be decent. Worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
