Topic: Marathon brainstorming thread

[addicted2dvd]

I just popped in a movie... and first thing I noticed it is an Australian movie from 1983.


BMX Bandits

It is an early part for Nicole Kidman. She was only 16 when she made it.

The only other 2 showing up as Australian is...

- Dark City
- Road Warrior

Looks like I am lacking a bit in Australian movies.

Some more for consideration

Japanese Story
Muriel's Wedding
Ned Kelly
Walkabout
Wolf Creek

Not too sure about these but they are showing up as CoO Australia
Dark City
Triangle
They're a Weird Mob

Thanks for all of the recommendations guys. I have so far only reviewed two Australian films on this site, so when I start the marathon I will most likely move those two to the new thread to keep them all together.

Don't forget Eagle VS Shark.... its advertised as "Napoleon Dynamite meets Muriel's Wedding" ... I thought it sucked lol and I was nothing like either of those films :/

So, im getting pretty excited about the october Horror marathon! I am determined to finish a marathon this time around... and so ive already got the 3 boxsets im gonna watch over the month ready :p

Emma it's impossible to not finish the horror marathon. This one doesn't any rules concerning the number of films we need to watch, so you can watch only one and complete the marathon (of course, it isn't a big effort). Not everybody had to be crazy like Pete or me and watch a tons of movies everyday

You aren't the only one excited about it : Everyday I see some movies I want to watch now laughing at me because I must wait

[addicted2dvd]

Very true. I am the same way Jimmy. I see these DVDs on my shelf just calling to me... "Watch Me!" 

Every time I try to think of what I will watch first once I am able to I keep changing my mind... I just want to watch them all!

[Achim]

  I am the same as well.

And these days I am talking about movies with friends and get all those ideas for films I should see when I get back home. Of course, I am not taking notes and will have forgotten all of it until I get to Taiwan

Very true. I am the same way Jimmy. I see these DVDs on my shelf just calling to me... "Watch Me!" 

It's even harder when it's a movie you finally got after waiting years for a release. Horror High is the perfect exemple of this since I want to watch it since I saw the trailer the first time on one of the first dvd I bought. It isn't fun when it's a movie you have read so many good things about like Peeping Tom, but you can't watch it. Even sadder I can't watch most of the Roger Corman's films I got this summer and everyone talk about those films on another forum I'm a member of

Of course it isn't the same with all the movies waiting for me since I know nothing about them or they are in the awfull boxset I got last year...

[addicted2dvd]

I know what you mean. And yeah... I'm not too concerned about the ones in those cheap boxsets we got either.

[Jimmy]

I didn't watch a single movie in them since the end of the marathon last year, I will probably try to check some more this year but.... a Lizzy Borden double features watching sound more exciting to me than that

[addicted2dvd]

A Lizzy Borden/Sorority double feature one day? 

No... I really don't want to go there this year! 

[Jimmy]

Don't forget I have bought the sequel


I have no intention of rewatching The Sorority again in my life

[addicted2dvd]

Yeah... I know what you meant... I was offering an alternative.  Do I remember right... you watched Lizzy Borden 2 before... and you at least thought it was better then part 1?

[Jimmy]

You remember right. I gave it a  wich isn't that bad considering how the first one is so awfull.

At the end of my review I wrote " ...it's the best movie made in 2008..."
