Star Wonder

I Just finished watching Apocalypse Now a few hours ago and felt it would be a noteworthy mention here.

For those who never seen it, not your typical war movie, definitely not for the weak of heart. The amount of animal cruelty in it is insane! (and human cruelty for that matter!) I've never seen so much ill will on film, but as much gore and violence there is, it never feels gratuitous. The film actually does us a favor by only showing us a slice of the in-universe bloodshed.

The musical score is what really does it for me though. Especially the eerie and jarring synth soundtracks to accompany the river ride from hell this movie takes us on.

I have wanted to watch mad max for a long time.   I will have to download it.  >____>

Of the three Mad Max Movies, The second one "The Road Warrior" is the best.

One cult classic is The Warriors, were a street gang in new york are hunted down, because the other gangs believe they murdered the leader of one the highest gangs in the city, it's made in 1979 and is literally a classic film!

We analyzed the assassination scene for it's use of changing status in my Exercises in Visual Communication class. 

Finally saw Blade Runner last week (whaaaaaaaaa?).  I can see what all of the fuss is about.

Is Rocky Horror Picture show considered a cult classic?

It's more than that.  Rocky Horror is the biggest cult film of them all!

Since we are on the eve of The First Avenger's cinematic appearance, I though we might to journey back all the way to 1990 for the original Captain America feature film.  I have seen this film three times no thanks to its repeated showings on Teletoon.  It was created by the same people who brought us Superman IV...Yes, Superman IV.  That one.  I know.  Anyway, it's no better (maybe even worse), and clearly was inspired to knockoff the success of Tim Burton's Batman.  It ended up going to strait to video, and earning the dubious distinction of being one of the last films to be shot in Yugoslavia before that part of the world degenerated into a bloody melee.

Although it probably doesn't count as a 'cult' classic as far as most people are concerned.  :(
