SMELL'O'GRAM!

Amazing movie, not even joking.
Love the score by James Horner, setting is really charming especially at the Friendship Maine location.
Visual shots of the Whipstaff Manor are spectacular, love that big main entrance with the spiral staircase and decal on the ground, iconic. and the special effects for the ghosts are excellent, especially for back in the 90's. Cool Halloween vibes all round, highly recommend this one, harmless fun, nostalgic flick.

I swear to god I only got to see the movie cus of Lady Gaga (cus it's in the subtext of 911), and I'm glad I did:

Hmmmm the original Night of the Living Dead, original Dawn of the Dead, The Breakfast Club, The Thing, An American Werewolf in London. Highlander, Kiki's Delivery Service, Office Space, Dumb and Dumber, Escape from New York, Planet of the Apes. The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Fast times at Ridgemount high , Honestly too many to name

If I had to recommend just one from those periods it would be The Breakfast Club. It is probably my second favorite movie behind the Fellowship of the Ring and really easy for anyone to watch.

Some great picks here

Can't say I have seen them sadly. Which ones would you recommend?

My all time favorite old movie <and i mean old> is from 1952, Called
The Seventh Seal. Fantasy horror movie. Very dark moody Gothic as well.
Basically a Knight in the Crusades is playing Chess with Death so he can keep from dying to get home to see his loved ones.

More to it, but that's a VERY basic Rundown.

It was directed by the Amazing Ingmar Bergman

Seventh Seal was absolutely fantastic, I really don't think there's any other films like it; The closest comparison I can draw (as the risk of sounding pretentious lol) is classic existentialist literature along the lines of Franz Kafka, Jean-Paul Sartre and Fyodor Dostoevsky, very little media has stayed in my mind so long after experiencing it like Seventh Seal has.

Probably my most rewatched movie, and one that's becoming something of an odd comfort movie is Taxi Driver (1976), great soundtrack, great neo-noir atmosphere, and introspective writing
