I was 8 and easily impressed. Now it seems more silly and farcical. @BawdyEclectic

I saw it when I was young. I laughed at it, the special effects were, though good at the time were easily fake.

THIS. It’s a great film, but one that I never need to watch again.

Another great one. I was baffled until after he took the red pill red pill and Kansas went bye-bye!

I lived the movie before the movie... I saw the original... "where the buffalo roams" with Peter Boyle and Bill Murray on acid but it was other times.

@GipsyOfNewSpain I remember "Where the Buffalo Roam." Bill Murray made a great Hunter S.. I think Benicio del Toro played a better Dr. Gonzo than Peter Boyle, though I do love Peter Boyle. In any case, it certainly made a big impression on my teenage mind.

@Lysistrata Homeboy Benicio is a good actor... It was Hunter Thompson after all... he had fond memories of Puerto Rico... he was stationed at Ramey Air Force Base... thus the Rum Diaries. My teen buddies were extras on the Rum Diaries. There will never be Press again as Hunter Thompson.

@GipsyOfNewSpain The journey of psychedelic discovery was given a bad name by hippies.

@Lysistrata They had to blame somebody besides Timothy Leary and with the CIA background and the CIA jumpers on the 50's... hippies with their "peace and love dropped out attitude" were perfect for the government agenda. I lived those days to the fullest. Hippies found a Paradise in P.R. I met many I hanged out with. The runaways.

I think we must have posted roughly at the same time. Yes, Momento was a mind bender, right from the opening when we realized--after the discarded gun flew back into the killer's hand and the Polaroid photo from which the image had vanished before our eyes was sucked back into the camera--that we were watching the entire scene in reverse order.

Moral of that story: if a lovely woman asks you to spit in a cup of coffee, don't!

I do like a space film that isn't afraid to venture into sonic realism.

I have heard that and others said it was awful - I'm in a dilemma now....

I liked it. The husband was a demon or something.

@IndySent I Didn't know it was a book! The movie was with Jennifer Connelly and Ben Kingsley. 2003.

@AMGT I avoid all zombie movies. Although, I got stuck in a situation where I had to watch "World War Z". I closed my eyes for most of the zombie parts. I won't watch "The Walking Dead", or it's spinoff. I even have trouble with the White Walkers on "Game of Thrones". The whole idea of the "undead" really freaks me out.

@AMGT I love that one!

If you get a chance, watch the spoof of that movie. Night of the dawn of the day of the living dead, or something like that. It’s the original film but with all new dialog. It’s cute and might wash the creep factor away. It should be on YouTube

Zombies rock! I live near where they filmed NOTLD, although a little closer to the original Dawn of the Dead location. My sister told me about them filming that and wanting extras for it. My Mother wouldn't let me go, though.

@IndySent I've yet to watch the 3rd one. Those are worse than the Saw movies!

And knowing that is based off true events.. makes it even more nasty.

@mistymoon77 that's just Fucked Up!
shiver

Reading through these, I was trying to remember all those movies I've seen, and then came across AnneWimsey's post. Deer Hunter freaked me out more than any.

oh, you are completely right lol. the question wasn't why but what film. it was nearly 40 years ago
