Cube in a double-feature with Exam? Both are small-budget thrillers involving people locked in a room.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I'm amazed no one has suggested The Last Starfighter. Also, are we going to get Tron: Legacy at some point?

Re: Suggest a movie!
Cutthroat Island would be interesting. I think TREY has mentioned it more than once. It is apparently biggest single financial lost in hollywood and prime example why you should not cast your spouse.
Watching movies is like being drunk. First it is great but most of the times it ends poorly.

Re: Suggest a movie!
Just got back from watching the (old) Muppet Movie.
Really enjoyed it.
Which do i watch now?
(different subject)
I showed some 6 and 7 year old relatives of mine The Wizard of Oz. They absolutely couldn't stand the first color-less sections.
Oh, and they're fans of the clone wars.
Anything I should show them?

Maybe Muppets Take Manhatten (The Great Muppet Caper is one you can probably do without though I do have a soft spot for it). Or you can just skip straight to Muppet Christmas Carol then Treasure Island and probably avoid the rest.
Glad you enjoyed it

Christmas Carol is my favorite, followed by Treasure Island.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I liked Muppets From Space. My 8yo niece recently instituted a strict no muppet policy, so lately we've watched Frankenstein, The Goonies, The Wizard of Oz, and Austin Powers*. My niece and nephew had no problems with the opening of Oz, or all of Frankenstein, for that matter, but I'm sure it's a matter of conditioning. Next up are Gremlins and King Kong.
* Austin Powers, like Top Secret, required some fast-forwarding.**
** If I made movies, I would totally make family-friendly versions whenever possible and make them an extra on the DVD. I bet that would add more sales than hokey "unrated" versions do. Plus it's immediately useful as a TV edit.

Re: Suggest a movie!
My sister (who is now 19) grew up on stuff I like- Raiders, Last Crusade, Bugsy Malone, Gremlins, Goonies and especially Muppets. On the other hand she also watched shit she liked (Mary Kate and Ashley films for example) but a lot of the time she'd sit with her big bro and watch stuff he used to when he was growing up
Now I can't get the wee bugger to watch anything with me

The days when they'd actually film a clean version do seem to be over. Ghostbusters did alternative scenes for TV, as did Animal House (which led to a fun blooper- they filmed a topless version and one with bras, and right after the makeout scene in the car in both versions it's a covered girl that jumps out.) I give the Avatar DVD set props for including an audio track without any profanity.

Re: Suggest a movie!
How about something like The Host? I'd be interested to see some more foreign films on your site.

Re: Suggest a movie!
Misery and The Shining are great movies and could make for an interesting conversation in terms of contrasting approaches of how to do an adaptation.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I strongly recommend Christopher Smith's, Triangle (released on DVD in 2010, thus making it my favorite film of that year, stealing the top spot from Inception).
I also suggest Ti West's, House of the Devil. It's a delightful throwback to horror movies of the early 80s'. It's shot on 16mm film stock and even has old school credits.
You could also do the original Fright Night from 1985, seeing as how the remake just happened. You've also not done a vampire film yet, and this one has lots of great creature FX from Richard Edlund.
OH! How about Michael Dougherty's horror anthology epic, Trick r' Treat?!
EDITED TO ADD: The Monster Squad, Scream, The Evil Dead, Cloverfield, Deep Rising and The Fog (it's weird that you guys haven't done more Carpenter films than just The Thing).
EDITED TO ADD: Splinter, Gore Verbinski's The Ring, Pet Semetary 1 & 2 (isn't it about time for Trey's stories to be in their proper context?), Slither (Fillion!), Identity and Clive Barker's Hellraiser.

Any of these. Speaking of Carpenter, I would suggest his original Halloween but there isn't really much you could say about it. I will also add Prince of Darkness and In The Mouth Of Madness (the last good film Carpenter made....)

Re: Suggest a movie!
Let the Right One In (either version) might be a good conversation.
Aside from that, I also vote for Scream (not a great horror movie, but an interesting screenwriting/genre examination), Halloween, Evil Dead.
And YES. As said johnpavlich suggested; stop teasing us and unleash Trey on Pet Cemetery 2. Please.

YIPPEE
And if you need a scary(ish) movie, try one of the Evil Deads.

Re: Suggest a movie!
Last year you did both Dawn of the Deads, this year do Let the Right One In and Let Me In. And maybe now is the time to do Zodiac? It's not really a horror movie, but it's still due for a commentary.

Re: Suggest a movie!
Lots of good suggestions. As I've lobbied for it before I'll second doing Prince of Darkness and more early Carpenter in general.
I just checked, and am VERY disappointed that the great UK film Paperhouse isn't on DVD in the US. That's just wrong...

We NEED a Sweeney Todd commentary. A Misery one wouldn't hurt, either.
