So my fiance' likes really well done creature flicks. (zombies, non-sparkly vampires, monsters)
We have this whole list of movies to show each other, and I made him watch "Shadow Of The Vampire."

Post-film discussion consisted of him trying to figure out where the hell Willem Dafoe went during that movie, and me giggling like a kid because he was so stunned.
"I mean, I knew that was Dafoe, but I didn't SEE HIM. With the Green Goblin it was Dafoe all over, but that... that was..."

So what's the best movie you've ever inflicted on someone else? How did they respond?

I loaned two people The Ruling Class. The response from both of them was "What the fuck."

My gf was "What the fuck?". She had to watch it a second time.

Lent a teenage nephew "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (Don Siegel's 1956 classic)

Oh no! An old black and white movie?!

I said:
"See it. Just watch it."



He returned it, totally impressed.

but for inflictions it has to be cronenburg's eXistneZ which i love but everyone who has ever watched it with me has been slightly confused, and not sure whether to love it or hate it.

I haven't done it just yet but I'm aching to show my friends John Carpenter's The Thing for obvious reasons. They're a little squemish when it comes to horrors.

This one was a "you HAVE to see this" that was inflicted on me. The first fifteen minutes contained some of the worst directorial choices I've ever seen (an assassin has a point-blank, unobstructed shot at his target and he only gets her right shoulder? Bullshit!), though the last fifteen were just crackerjack.

My primary "yHtst" movies are Dark City and Shoot 'Em Up. Reactions to the latter are pretty much the same across the board. The former beings more mixed reactions.

My only gripe I have with Dark City was that infuriating voiceover that introduced the version I was watching. While watching the movie I got the sinking impression that every twist and turn would have been far more mindblowing...if they didn't already TELL me what everything was at the start of the movie.

Later I found out the director's cut didn't have the narration, and in fact the director was hardpressed by the studio to introduce the narration so audiences wouldn't be confused.

I raged for weeks.

It did kinda defeat the purpose of the movie... the characters are confused, so why not let the audience be just as befuddled?

El Laberinto del Fauno-I hadn't liked it the first time I had seen it, but I recommend it to a friend of mine who is totally into fantasy stuff and she loved it and made me see it again and afterwards, it became one of my favorites.

Fight Club and High Fidelity =)

I showed three of my unexperienced movie friends 2001: A Space Odyssey. I made sure to watch it with them to see their reaction. I tried to warn them.

My one friend loved it, my other friend liked it, and my other two friends said it was "the worst fucking piece of shit movie they have ever seen".

Ignorant fucks.

Dazed and Confused.

I love that movie.

introduced several friends to The Goonies and Monty Python's Life of Brian. Needless to say, they now respect my sense of humor more.
