The Official Movie Thread

Yeah I think I prefer it too, but it's very close. I just love Walter Hill lmao.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Yeah, I'm in agreement here with both of you. I like it more than Deliverance. Just a great ensemble cast and a building sence of dread and paranoia.

 

[CiG]

Southern Comfort has that great Deliverance + late 70's/early 80's feel to it, kinda like The Last House on the Left vs. The House on the Edge of the Park in terms of house intruder films, if that makes any sense?

 

[no country for old wainds]

from what i recall i adore the first half or so of deliverance but i think it dissipates a little when the action/disaster movie stuff hits full gear. southern comfort just straight up rules.

worth noting that the DoP for SOUTHERN COMFORT, andrew laszlo, was also the DoP for FIRST BLOOD (as well as a bunch of other hill movies like THE WARRIORS and STREETS OF FIRE). probably deserves some of the credit for the awesomeness of these movies.

That's cool to know, I hadn't made the connection yet but now that you mention it I can totally see it.

Can you believe I'm only just now buying a copy of Road House?

The day Alfred Hitchcock spoke one word to me (and the 40 years it took me to understand it)

So wonderfully Hitchcockian.

Freaking classic - I remember seeing this for the first time and thinking to myself, "What the hell did I just watch....I have to watch it again." Hah!

Was it the first Troma film you'd watched?

It was indeed (to my knowledge). I am sorely uneducated on their releases but I know I have seen a lot more since. I love horror (even though this is pseudo/arguably connected to horror...) so it's hard to avoid!

Yeah it was probably pretty hard to categorize back then, since it combined extreme violence and gore with comedy and superheroes lmao. I love bizarre crap like that, I think it was my first Troma movie too and the whole time I had a feeling like I was doing something I shouldn't be doing, like the first time you watch a porno when you're young.

Exactly! lol

What would be some others that rival this one to check out?

Big question! For me; Class of Nuke 'Em High, Surf Nazis Must Die, Troma's War, Redneck Zombies and Toxic Avenger IV: Citizen Toxie (my personal favourite of all the Troma films).

Edit: oh and Rabid Grannies.
