Films I love - Mad Max 2 (1981) Mad Mad 2 or The Road Warrior (as referred to in North America) is a beast of a film. The premise is simple and unoriginal, a dystopian world where fuel is precious and survivors are divided into sparse tribal gangs where lawlessness is rampant. Enter the mythological (and in this case with a name) hero or anti-hero.... Where the film literally obliterates all other action films is in it’s pure kinetic fury. The semi-mechanised villains are genuinely abhorrent and therefore the threat is real on the opposing community who are desperately clinging onto any fragments of civility. The visceral action sequences, expertly crafted by George Miller are an ode to dirt coated twisted metal, motion, engine revs and gasoline. Gibson thrives a the man with a name, clad in black leather with blue eyes and armed to the hilt. His feral charm further elevates the film as the angel faced grim reaper who finds himself a saviour. Hugely influential, never bettered, this is a divine slice of fuel powered rage!
Yep agree. First film is great but very raw especially when viewed today. 2 is a real step up. 3 had potential but decided to go the PG route to get a wider audience and really didn't work. The kids in latter half are the Mad Max version of Ewoks but way less cute..
Good calls on "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II," "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" and "Ouija: Origins of Evil." Along the lines of the latter, "Annabelle: Creation" is definitely better than the first one. "Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge" is my fav of that series. The origins of Blade and Leech Woman are hella rad. Also, it's not in the genres we're talking about, but "The Bourne Ultimatum" friggin' rules.
Just Horror: Ginger Snaps 2, Child's Play 2, White Noise 2, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Bride of Frankenstein, The Creature Walks Among Us, Amityville Horror 2, Maniac Cop 2, Waxwork II, Jeepers Creepers 2, Final Destination 3, Prom Night 2, Inferno.
Re-watched The Punisher (1989) earlier this week. With a few (relatively minor) changes -- it could've been better. Put the damn skull logo on his chest and things immediately improve. Put Frank's lair a warehouse vs. the sewer (huh?). And give him his "battle van" vs. a motorcycle. They really wanted those shots of Dolph riding a Harley in a giant sewer pipe. Why studios often insist on making unnecessary changes when it brings comic book characters to the big screen -- it's baffling. And Louis Gossett, Jr. wears some GIGANTIC 80s jackets in The Punisher. It's like he raided David Byrne's closet.
I like Night just a tad more than Dawn too. Love both but the first has more nostalgia for me. I just love the opening and I grew up not far from there.
As someone who loves Horror Classics I almost expected someone mentioning The Golem: How He came into the World. It's actually a prequel (and, to be fair, the first two Golem movies are lost today.)
I love Hellbound:Hellraiser 2 especially for the Dr. Channard character. I also love Hellraiser Bloodline(4th movie). I've never been a Star Wars fan. It's hard to say Aliens is better than Alien but, both are great. Phantasm 2 is great. Does John Carpenter's The Thing count as a sequel? If so, that's my #1

Hey Pete, Maybe you could do a sword & sandal episode, Krull, Dragonslayer, Clash Of The Titans, Beastmaster, Conan, Ator and the like Or maybe those are fantasy. Lol. Its a little more broad
Batman 89’ is my favorite comic book movie of all time and I also love Batman Returns. Some people prefer Returns over the first one. I can see why for different reasons but I still hold the first one just a tad higher. Pete, Chris, Jamie, what do you think?
Revenge of Frankenstein (1958) vs Frankenstein (1957). Better script, better visuals, fantastic creepy gore, more focus on character, more interesting plot. Also, has Michael Ripper in it which is an instant win.
Ron Pearlman was great as Hellboy and also as Vincent in the original Beauty and the Beast tv series and those were the only things I could watch with Ron Pearlman.
Off topic...mentioning your first vhs purchase.... what was fun was seeing a movie in full with all the scenes nothing cut out for commercials. Wrath of Khan was great. Want a better sequel ...add action.
I'm probably in the minority here but I actually enjoyed the third Hellboy more than the first two; although all three are great. I agree with Pete that Bride of Frankenstein is a little better than the original Frankenstein. They are both masterpieces however you grade them though. 👹
I didn't watch the whole video, but, I have to say as much as I love the sequels, I love Frankenstein and Night of the Living Dead more. Also, I am right in the same age bracket as you guys and pretty much share the same brain with all of you, haha. The seventies were an amazing time to be a kid and more important, a monster kid!
Phantasm 2 was actually very nicely done with the dead grandfather scene in his wife’s bed and the other one that I loved was The Devil’s Rejects something more so into the House Of 1000 corpses sequel and 🪦 to Sid Haig of the blaxploitation genre which a lot more people than not had no idea 🤷♂️ this man who I first saw on an early episode of Gunsmoke with James Arness obviously 🙄 of The Thing (from another world!), but my top favorite sequel even if it’s supposed to be on the same night:Halloween 2 @‘ 81 as Carpenter was busy with Jamie Lee on The Fog as well herself doing 4 at the same time with Prom Night; Terror Train and trying to keep her sanity whilst complaining those flicks. Although he’s NEVER going to say anything about ripping off Dario Argento for almost his entire career with his camera angles and lighting styles? I haven’t been able to forgive the guy and I put him on the same list of directors who steal that as they’ve got the ideas off the other better ones ala DePalma’s Hitchcock thefts in every single flick here ever done ☑️ Go back and watch kids Cuz it’s just TRUE! Yes I’m sorry, but whenever I’m not hearing anything about giving credit where credit is due for some of these scenarios that were already done and so much better than the director stealing lock, stock & barrel?

I agree with Chris the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes was horrible not a fan of Wahlberg at all his macho strutting around was to silly to watch but the original ones and the short lived series were good the Saturday morning cartoon was not very good but the newer ones I could watch but the Wahlberg one no.... That was Claude Akins you were referring to.
Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) Amityville II: The Possession (1982) Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) (Yup, I prefer it over the "classic" original) Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenger (1985) (Yup, it's darker and more evil) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) (I do LOVE the original though)
Some good calls by Pete. Agree that Friday the 13th Part II is better than the original and I too am on the fence between Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein. First one just feels more "horror", more truly "gothic". I sorta kinda...just can't decide between the two either.
This is off-topic, but I'm curious. Did you guys happen to see Ti West's latest movie ‘X’ already? If yes, did you enjoy it? I watched it yesterday and I didn't have that much fun at a horror movie for a long time. The cast, plot, gore and music are so good. And unlike with so many other modern slasher movies, I found very little of the plot predictable. The tension was kept throughout the movie and there was almost a Hitchcockian suspense until the first kill. Great stuff!
I saw "X" recently in the theater. I thought it was good, but to me, it seemed to borrow a bit too heavily from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Eaten Alive and Motel Hell. Had I not seen those movies, I would have enjoyed "X" more.
@@chrisalo2989 I'm glad then I've never seen Eaten Alive and Motel Hell :-) But there's no denying the (I guess highly intended) influence of TCM on X, the director would probably be the last person to deny that. I was almost waiting for a murderous relative of the older couple to show up. And now that I'm reading the Wiki article on Eaten Alive, I get where the crocodile scenes in X might come from. But that first crocodile scene was so brilliantly shot and intense, as were most scenes in this movie. What I found quite original and inventive about X was the fusion of horror and porn movies, especially the parallel cuts between the movie and the movie within the movie.
@@beetlebum7760 Yep, I liked the porn/horror connection too. Most people forget or were too young to realize that porn was making HUGE money in theaters in the 70's.
I prefer Dream Warriors to the film Elm Street, I actually prefer Friday The 13th part 3 over the original for the reason that Pete said, Aliens to Alien, Hellraiser2 to the original, and T2 to the original. I remember watching Aliens on VHS with my dad when I was little. I remember really well the scene when the alien coming out of Ripley with Jonesy the cat watching. I also dig Final Destination 2 better than the first. I dug The Batman. Pete, does that Terminator set come with the directors cut of T2?
I loved every second of The Batman, possibly the best action film I have seen. Did any one else notice Colin Farrell’s Penguin channelling De Niro’s Capone from The Untouchables?
empire strikes back....eddie and the cruisers 2...the road warrior....chamber of secrets h.p....terminator 2...thor ragnarock...captain america winter soldier...star trek into darkness...dracula prince of darkness
Batman Returns was a definite improvement on Tim Burton's takes - and i love both films......Gremlins II was such a fun film - i loved that they didn't seem to take their own success seriously and even poked fun o' it in the 2nd version. everything in that film was amped up - absolute fun for the whole family...
@@bschuler6216 ...he did, o' his two takes on the franchise the second definitely dodged the curse o' the sequel. Gremlins is a classic no doubt - and darker than the sequel, but they had more fun in the second one...
The Ray Stevens Punisher movie was good, but the jigsaw character ruined it for me. They were trying to obviously duplicate Heath Ledger's joker, and it did not work.
An idea for a show... a horror movie with great/original/imaginative kills. The movie itself may not be good, but the kills are entertaining. OR, just do your top 10 kills in horror movies.
Alien v Aliens that's a toughie when you look at impact the 1st film had but the 2nd only just, I'm not sure if the 2nd or 3rd Evil Dead was better than the 1st. But Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was way better than the 2nd one and the great soundtrack.
John Wick 2 for me. Usually sequels are glorified parodies of the film that came before. JW2 was more a little more serious than JW1 and it continued the story rather rehashing it.
No one is going to agree with me, but I love Halloween 2 WAY more than the original! I honestly don't understand why the first one is considered one of the greatest slasher movies ever, other than how iconic it is
I'm surprised that you guys didn't mention the colour remake of Night Of The Living Dead. The original is still my favourite horror film of all time, but I thought the remake was excellent and improved upon the original, and was better than Dawn Of The Dead.
I never cared for Dawn of The Dead, I always thought Night of The Living Dead was far creepier and more effective with the low budget production…sometimes less is more 🤷🏻♂️
@@bschuler6216 Dawn is really more of an action flick IMO, there’s not much scary about it for me…Night is frightening because it’s much more realistic and not so far fetched. Night is absolutely one of the scariest films of all time.
@@bschuler6216 Yup. I also really liked Carnival of Souls from the early 60’s, another one high on the creepy factor. But as far as zombie movies, nothing matches Night…other gorier ones that followed, but none have the atmosphere of Night and uneasy feeling of dread. An underrated one though IMO is Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things…slow paced at first but picks up towards the end, and some of the best looking zombies :)
@@sixbladeknife44 Carnival Of Souls is a weird Classick. Totally creepy film. I have not yet watched Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. I've heard good things, but the trailer has never made me wanna sit through it...
Oh God, Terminator Genysis. One night I had fallen asleep on the couch, and when I woke up that movie was playing. I'm watching it and thinking, is this some sort of crappy TV series? I didn't know they made a series about Terminator? So I turned on the guide and found out what it actually was. That has got to be hands down one of the crappiest sci-fi films I think I've ever seen. I enjoyed "Salvation" and "Dark Fate."
I'll never understand the appeal of the Friday the 13th movies, or why they felt the need to make twelve of them (I'm guessing purely for the money). It's a guy in a hockey mask who goes around stabbing and impaling (mostly) young women. Is there really anything to the movies, other than that?
Nope. But some of them are pretty good! Numbers 4 and 6 especially. They are dumb, campy fun that don't take themselves too seriously (unlike the Halloween franchise...).
I have The Planet Of the Apes series on DVD. Puppet Master series went to shit after Full Moon lost their deal with Paramount, and the budget for movies went down hill.
@@Jamie.Laszlo Yeah, Hill House, Bly House & Doctor Sleep were all well done. Hill House was probably the best yet of his career. Can't wait for what he comes out with next. Oculus was pretty good too.
great show, here are a few of mine 28 weeks later Dracula prince of darkness Aliens by a fannys hair Damien omen 2 not better than the original but pretty even i think Ouija 2 i had the same opinion as Jamie the first one was the steaming pits but the sequel was pretty good. Day of the dead I love all three films but for me it's day the other two are by there very nature bleak and apocalyptic but day is the darkest of them all.
ALIENS over ALIEN for me...the 3rd & 4th installments, though, were almost bad enuff the ruin the 1st two films. Kinda like how Starship practically destroyed the Airplane's legacy. :-p
sorry, Hellboy II is a solid fun film (bordering on silly at times), but in my perspective does not usurp the original, which was clearly a labor o' love......Chris - i can't tell if that Slaughtered Lamb art is a patch or not, but if it is where in the F did you find that - i HAVE to have that. my searches have yielded some pretty poor efforts, nothing to compare to the quality o' the one on your hoodie......Bill & Ted II - hey, Death is a major character (and it's technically sci-fi)......Road Warrior (which because o' where i grew up i saw first, and i guess because o' the popularity they brought in Mad Max shortly afterwards)......i LOVE Alien II - but it does not surpass the original for me, they are just different takes on a brilliant theme...
Sorry, it's a full American Werewolf in London hoodie, with designs on the front, back and the sleeves. I bought it at a convention, but there might be a link somewhere on line for it.
@@chrisalo2989 ...cheers. if it's out there i'll find it ! there are actually patches that i found - but they are all quite crap in comparison. the art on your hoodie is superb. i have an old Monty Python hoodie that could use a few friends. all my best to you. i don't always agree with you - but i always love hearing how you phrase it Chris !
Sorry but twin peaks 2017 version not original is just worlds apart from the aforementioned. And done in a creative way exploring the occult and mysteries of the supernatural rather the stupid violence for the sake of violence.
I like Jeepers Creepers 2 more than the original. I think the original goes to shit after the first 45 mins. Conjuring 2 is better, and I think Insidious 3 is the best one. Insidious 2 sucked and Insidious was just a low budget Poltergeist rip off
I like Conjuring 2 more as well but actually prefer the original Jeepers Creepers with its smaller cast but I will agree the second half is not nearly as strong as the first half.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 The problem with JC1 is that the siblings continue to do such stupid things I felt they deserve to die. And that elderly ladies character felt like the only reason she existed was to provide exposition to the audience. She brought nothing of worth to the movie beyond that
@@Gregbaltzer The kids sure did some stupid stuff and the two older ladies characters (cat lady and psychic medium) could've been handled better or better yet, not even been there at all. I just like the feel of it more than the sequel, these two siblings on the road together then the isolated bus thing with its claustrophobic element which is quite neat.
Wacted the amusement park for 3rd final time trying make head's or tails of it still don't know what the guck is going on I just felt extremely bad for that old dude
I’m in the minority, I like T1 better than T2 for its horror elements. Plus there’s a couple of draggy parts in T2, and the kid is annoying at times… Great action sequences though. Also find that I watch Star Wars ANH more than ESB. Nice tight story, not too long. Just fun.
I gotta agree with Jamie that the dark knight is overrated. I recently rewatched and I don't think it holds up. The Joker portrayal is obviously incredible, I even like the Harvey Dent portrayal. But take them out... It's meh
I really have to disagree with you guys on Star trek the motion picture. I loved that film, it's the most intellectual of those movies. Also its visually stunning and trippy. I notice new things every time I watch it. The soundtrack is just amazing. It has it's usual Star trek themes of course, but it's very haunting and intense mostly. I love that movie. Its not boring at all. I love that movie and for the life of me, I just don't understand why all of you hate it so much. Maybe one day you will watch it with a different frame of mind and have a different opinion.
@@JIF882 I'm sorry to hear that. I think the first film was geared to an older audience. Where the latter films were aimed at a much younger audience, mainly young boys. They certainly had a more comic book type of feel to them.
Love Chris Alo, but Phantasm II is not better than Phantasm, & Aliens is not better than Alien. Also, Friday the 13th--The Final Chapter sucks. Jason Lives is the best. Friday the 13th 3D is better than all the other Fridays, other than part 6--Jason Lives.
You have to do a part 2 for this topic. I bet we would all like it better.
I guess some people just don't progress mentally beyond the age of twelve. That's a shame.
Films I love - Mad Max 2 (1981)

Love Mad Max. True while there's good moments in all of them. The Road Warror is by far the best.
I've always dug the first Mad Max above all others.
it wasn't unoriginal at the time
Jamie hit the nail on the head with Star Trek II. The first one is a great science-fiction film but not a great franchise movie. Khan is the best.
Good calls on "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II," "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" and "Ouija: Origins of Evil." Along the lines of the latter, "Annabelle: Creation" is definitely better than the first one.

Phantasm 2 is great.
Does John Carpenter's The Thing count as a sequel? If so, that's my #1
The third Punisher starred Ray Stevenson. But a Punisher starring Ray Stevens would be a totally different kind of Punisher.
Yeah, that'd be BIZARRE!
Technically, it's the second. The Tom Jane one isn't a sequel to the Dolph one

I prefer Dream Warriors to the film Elm Street, I actually prefer Friday The 13th part 3 over the original for the reason that Pete said, Aliens to Alien, Hellraiser2 to the original, and T2 to the original. I remember watching Aliens on VHS with my dad when I was little. I remember really well the scene when the alien coming out of Ripley with Jonesy the cat watching. I also dig Final Destination 2 better than the first. I dug The Batman. Pete, does that Terminator set come with the directors cut of T2?
I loved every second of The Batman, possibly the best action film I have seen. Did any one else notice Colin Farrell’s Penguin channelling De Niro’s Capone from The Untouchables?
best batman movie, maybe.. but best action movie?...
I could only come up with two within these categories.
Bride of Frankenstein
Aliens
Jamie's pulling out all the old toys of my childhood.
empire strikes back....eddie and the cruisers 2...the road warrior....chamber of secrets h.p....terminator 2...thor ragnarock...captain america winter soldier...star trek into darkness...dracula prince of darkness
Batman Returns was a definite improvement on Tim Burton's takes - and i love both films......Gremlins II was such a fun film - i loved that they didn't seem to take their own success seriously and even poked fun o' it in the 2nd version. everything in that film was amped up - absolute fun for the whole family...
I thought Burton directed Batman Returns too.
And Gremlins is way better than Gremlins 2.
@@bschuler6216 ...he did, o' his two takes on the franchise the second definitely dodged the curse o' the sequel. Gremlins is a classic no doubt - and darker than the sequel, but they had more fun in the second one...
The Ray Stevens Punisher movie was good, but the jigsaw character ruined it for me. They were trying to obviously duplicate Heath Ledger's joker, and it did not work.
An idea for a show... a horror movie with great/original/imaginative kills. The movie itself may not be good, but the kills are entertaining. OR, just do your top 10 kills in horror movies.
I'm with Pete on Puppet Master 2, whatsherface is pretty hot in it and it's a little better in terms of creepiness
When Star Wars came out I didn't care about it, I didn't go see it until November that year in a second hand theater. I thought what's the big deal??
Alien v Aliens that's a toughie when you look at impact the 1st film had but the 2nd only just, I'm not sure if the 2nd or 3rd Evil Dead was better than the 1st. But Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was way better than the 2nd one and the great soundtrack.
John Wick 2 for me. Usually sequels are glorified parodies of the film that came before. JW2 was more a little more serious than JW1 and it continued the story rather rehashing it.
No one is going to agree with me, but I love Halloween 2 WAY more than the original! I honestly don't understand why the first one is considered one of the greatest slasher movies ever, other than how iconic it is
Halloween II is great! It's tough for me to say that it's better than the original, though it might be.
Finally someone that feels the same as I do! Halloween 2 is just so epic
I'm surprised that you guys didn't mention the colour remake of Night Of The Living Dead. The original is still my favourite horror film of all time, but I thought the remake was excellent and improved upon the original, and was better than Dawn Of The Dead.
I never cared for Dawn of The Dead, I always thought Night of The Living Dead was far creepier and more effective with the low budget production…sometimes less is more 🤷🏻♂️
It's Blasphemy to say Dawn is better than the original classic! The monsters are totally out of line.
@@bschuler6216 Dawn is really more of an action flick IMO, there’s not much scary about it for me…Night is frightening because it’s much more realistic and not so far fetched. Night is absolutely one of the scariest films of all time.
@@sixbladeknife44 Totally agree. Night was unprecedented, and unsurpassed after its time.
@@bschuler6216 Yup. I also really liked Carnival of Souls from the early 60’s, another one high on the creepy factor. But as far as zombie movies, nothing matches Night…other gorier ones that followed, but none have the atmosphere of Night and uneasy feeling of dread. An underrated one though IMO is Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things…slow paced at first but picks up towards the end, and some of the best looking zombies :)
@@sixbladeknife44 Carnival Of Souls is a weird Classick. Totally creepy film.
I have not yet watched Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. I've heard good things, but the trailer has never made me wanna sit through it...
Bride of Frankenstein is my. Favorite movie ever and Star Wars had no effect on my life saw it once on regular tv.
Mad max 2
I'll toss in The Devil's Rejects and Dead Snow 2
Bride of Frankenstein is an awesome movie.
Oh God, Terminator Genysis. One night I had fallen asleep on the couch, and when I woke up that movie was playing. I'm watching it and thinking, is this some sort of crappy TV series? I didn't know they made a series about Terminator? So I turned on the guide and found out what it actually was. That has got to be hands down one of the crappiest sci-fi films I think I've ever seen. I enjoyed "Salvation" and "Dark Fate."
Aliens by a hair over it’s predecessor.
Cool topic shudder just added a bunch of great movies
Mirrors 2, Evil Dead 2 & Omen 2.
I'll never understand the appeal of the Friday the 13th movies, or why they felt the need to make twelve of them (I'm guessing purely for the money). It's a guy in a hockey mask who goes around stabbing and impaling (mostly) young women. Is there really anything to the movies, other than that?
Nope. But some of them are pretty good! Numbers 4 and 6 especially. They are dumb, campy fun that don't take themselves too seriously (unlike the Halloween franchise...).
thanks guys great show🤘😎🤘
I have The Planet Of the Apes series on DVD. Puppet Master series went to shit after Full Moon lost their deal with Paramount, and the budget for movies went down hill.
ALIENS ALIENS ALIENS
Aliens
Love it, many thanks.
Jamie ain't wrong about that Ouija Board sequel. That's because it's a Mike Flanagan film.
Yes. He does good things. I think Pete would love The Haunting of Hill House. But it can be hard to find the time to watch a whole miniseries.
@@Jamie.Laszlo Yeah, Hill House, Bly House & Doctor Sleep were all well done. Hill House was probably the best yet of his career. Can't wait for what he comes out with next.
Oculus was pretty good too.
great show, here are a few of mine
28 weeks later
Dracula prince of darkness
Aliens by a fannys hair
Damien omen 2 not better than the original but pretty even i think
Ouija 2 i had the same opinion as Jamie the first one was the steaming pits but the sequel was pretty good.
Day of the dead I love all three films but for me it's day the other two are by there very nature bleak and apocalyptic but day is the darkest of them all.
ALIENS over ALIEN for me...the 3rd & 4th installments, though, were almost bad enuff the ruin the 1st two films.
Kinda like how Starship practically destroyed the Airplane's legacy. :-p
Saw Star Wars when it came out.. I was 12…muppets in space. Campy.
Dawn of the Dead is the only movie I ever saw where everyone in the theater shouted out the body count. hilarious.
sorry, Hellboy II is a solid fun film (bordering on silly at times), but in my perspective does not usurp the original, which was clearly a labor o' love......Chris - i can't tell if that Slaughtered Lamb art is a patch or not, but if it is where in the F did you find that - i HAVE to have that. my searches have yielded some pretty poor efforts, nothing to compare to the quality o' the one on your hoodie......Bill & Ted II - hey, Death is a major character (and it's technically sci-fi)......Road Warrior (which because o' where i grew up i saw first, and i guess because o' the popularity they brought in Mad Max shortly afterwards)......i LOVE Alien II - but it does not surpass the original for me, they are just different takes on a brilliant theme...
Sorry, it's a full American Werewolf in London hoodie, with designs on the front, back and the sleeves. I bought it at a convention, but there might be a link somewhere on line for it.
@@chrisalo2989 ...cheers. if it's out there i'll find it ! there are actually patches that i found - but they are all quite crap in comparison. the art on your hoodie is superb. i have an old Monty Python hoodie that could use a few friends. all my best to you. i don't always agree with you - but i always love hearing how you phrase it Chris !
Wow, I rarely agree with Jamie but I'm with him on The Dark Knight being super overrated!
I think that deserves us splitting a pizza in Mr. Hand's next class!
@@Jamie.Laszlo I know that dude!
Nope
I prefer the 1st Terminator. It's dark and the characters are more important than the actors.
Sorry but twin peaks 2017 version not original is just worlds apart from the aforementioned. And done in a creative way exploring the occult and mysteries of the supernatural rather the stupid violence for the sake of violence.
I like Jeepers Creepers 2 more than the original. I think the original goes to shit after the first 45 mins. Conjuring 2 is better, and I think Insidious 3 is the best one. Insidious 2 sucked and Insidious was just a low budget Poltergeist rip off
I like Conjuring 2 more as well but actually prefer the original Jeepers Creepers with its smaller cast but I will agree the second half is not nearly as strong as the first half.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 The problem with JC1 is that the siblings continue to do such stupid things I felt they deserve to die. And that elderly ladies character felt like the only reason she existed was to provide exposition to the audience. She brought nothing of worth to the movie beyond that
@@Gregbaltzer The kids sure did some stupid stuff and the two older ladies characters (cat lady and psychic medium) could've been handled better or better yet, not even been there at all. I just like the feel of it more than the sequel, these two siblings on the road together then the isolated bus thing with its claustrophobic element which is quite neat.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 yeah everything up until they get to the diner is nail biting, after that not so much
aliens
leech woman disturbed me when i was a kid
CRITTERS I & II!! Rule!
Wacted the amusement park for 3rd final time trying make head's or tails of it still don't know what the guck is going on I just felt extremely bad for that old dude
I think Final Destination 2 is better than the first.
I’m in the minority, I like T1 better than T2 for its horror elements. Plus there’s a couple of draggy parts in T2, and the kid is annoying at times… Great action sequences though. Also find that I watch Star Wars ANH more than ESB. Nice tight story, not too long. Just fun.
Totally agree with both movies,T1 and Star Wars i like much better
T1 is better than T2
I have to agree with you. Bad Arnold > Good Arnold. Great sequel nonetheless.
#TeamAliens
i liked the Tim Burton Apes movie
Phantasm 2 > Phantasm
1)Annabelle 2 Creation 2)Child Play 2 3)Friday The 13th part 2
4)Jaws 2 5)Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors
6)Psycho II
7)Saw II
I hated the first Annabelle movie. The second one is pretty good, eh?
Fascinating. You must be the first person in the world who seriously thinks Jaws II and Psycho II are better than the originals.
@@karlkarlos3545 We all got are own opinion on movies no one is right or wrong.
Annabelle Creation is indeed terrific, I think it's a quite brilliant ghost/haunted house film and very likely the best entry in the series.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Thanks Larry, I think I'll check it out.
I gotta agree with Jamie that the dark knight is overrated. I recently rewatched and I don't think it holds up. The Joker portrayal is obviously incredible, I even like the Harvey Dent portrayal. But take them out... It's meh
I really have to disagree with you guys on Star trek the motion picture. I loved that film, it's the most intellectual of those movies. Also its visually stunning and trippy. I notice new things every time I watch it. The soundtrack is just amazing. It has it's usual Star trek themes of course, but it's very haunting and intense mostly. I love that movie. Its not boring at all. I love that movie and for the life of me, I just don't understand why all of you hate it so much. Maybe one day you will watch it with a different frame of mind and have a different opinion.
I fell asleep watching it. I like parts 2 & 3 better
not even top 5 star trek movie
@@JIF882 I'm sorry to hear that. I think the first film was geared to an older audience. Where the latter films were aimed at a much younger audience, mainly young boys. They certainly had a more comic book type of feel to them.
No no no to Empire Strikes Back. It has a terrible last third. Everyone is wrong about that movie. I don't get it.
Evil Dead 2 in my opinion is awful. It's such a let down after the 1st one.
Star Wars? Just like Will Smith
Never liked any godfather movies ,dont get the hype for me its goodfellas and Miller's crossing
I don't understand Chris's complaint about Terminator being "woke". Why? Are you and your group of friends against progressiveness?
Love the first 2 apes movies…the rest are not real good ..they blew up the earth,end of story
Planet Of The Apes is so much better than Star Wars
Love Chris Alo, but Phantasm II is not better than Phantasm, & Aliens is not better than Alien.
Also, Friday the 13th--The Final Chapter sucks. Jason Lives is the best. Friday the 13th 3D is better than all the other Fridays, other than part 6--Jason Lives.
