tommy boy is a classic in my eyes, slapshot is a hockey movie.

i wanna talk classic horror films. i love a good slasher horror like friday the 13th. the shining is another notable classic, and a nightmare on elm street definately makes the cut!

opinions?

p.s. 1978 horror classic dawn of the dead was remade and comes out 3/19; anyone see it yet (bootlegs always surface)? i hope its not a fucking disappointment!

My friends and I watch old scary movies alomst every saturday night. I am a fan of the old Dracula movies. But Friday the 13th, and Elm Street are very good.

But Friday the 13th, and Elm Street are very good. right on. the old dracula flicks are totally awesome. the original brom stoker's version is the best! (i can't think of who directed it off the top of my head.) the silence keeps you poised and is open to interpretation. hmm... calm & collected or eerie & frightening?
