OT: What's your favorite scary movie?
Anne P. Mitchell, Esq.
No question - Trilogy of Terror - because IT'S SO BAD!!!!
[I don't like truly scary movies - I don't enjoy suspense and being scared.
But ToT is so darned bad, that you just have to laugh at it (I'm surprised
that it hasn't been MST3Ked!]
Great thread though! Can I also ask:
What is your favourite "undiscovered" movie - by which I mean a movie which
you have seen (and again and again, perhaps), but for some reason nobody
else seems to know about it.
One of my favourites is 'Suspect' - killer cast (Liam Neeson, Cher, Dennis
Quaid, John Mahoney) - Liam Neeson is phenomenal playing a homeless mute
accused of murder - Cher as his public defender - the *only* people I know
who have seen this movie are those for whom I've sat them down in front of
our tv and hit 'play' on the VCR.

Oooh..no..if you want to talk weak endings to what could otherwise have
been a really good movie - I mean, an ending to nearly blow the entire
movie, we're talking "Dead Again", which I thought was a really decent
movie, great plot twist, Emma and Branngh when they still had chemistry
(although of course their chemistry in "Much Ado" can't be topped), Derek
Jacobi, Robin Williams - great cast - and then, after they reveal the plot
twist (one of the *few* I haven't seen coming well before it arrived [I
mean, who *didn't* see it coming in "The Sixth Sense"??), they RUIN it with
an incredibly stupid hokey ending (the scene in the studio). I mean, the
supersized "objets'd'art" were just STUPID!!! [Note that I am not saying
what it actually was, as I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen
it, as it is otherwise still a pretty darned good movie, which I
recommend.]

Well it's not a scary movie, but if we're talking endings that ruin it, Play
