NOTE to NON-MEMBERS: Interested in joining the SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB? Shoot me a PM for more info.
Here's a quick list of all movies watched by the SMC.
sickc0d3r noticed that our old leader shadow_priest_x seemed a bit spooked by all the santanism that has been going on around here lately. So let's see if we can give him a heart attack by having a theme centered around the Devil!
Here are our candidates!
The Ninth Gate (1999)
Director: Roman Polanski
Stars: Johnny Depp, Frank Langella, Lena Olin
Premise: A rare book dealer, while seeking out the last two copies of a demon text, gets drawn into a conspiracy with supernatural overtones.
Why sickc0d3r Picked it: Criminally underrated, perfectly understated. A thinking man's supernatural thriller. My favorite Polanski flick.
Angel Heart (1987)
Director: Alan Parker
Stars: Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro, Lisa Bonet
Premise: A private investigator is hired by a man who calls himself Louis Cyphre to track down a singer named Johnny Favorite. But the investigation takes an unexpected and somber turn.
Why sickc0d3r Picked it: I picked this one in case anyone's in the mood to watch near perfection in an atmospheric mystery with a great blues soundtrack.
Time Bandits (1981)
Director: Terry Gilliam
Stars: Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall, John Cleese
Premise: A young boy accidentally joins a band of time travelling dwarves, as they jump from era to era looking for treasure to steal.
Why sickc0d3r Picked it: I love the quirky, dark humor and kind of Monty Python meets mythology vibe.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)
Director: Terry Gilliam
Stars: Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Heath Ledger
Premise: A traveling theater company gives its audience much more than they were expecting.
Why sickc0d3r Picked it: Speaking of Monty Python... this former Python animator Terry Gilliam offering looks interesting, but I have always put off seeing it. Will this be the week?
Members: @shadow_priest_x @europe1 @MusterX @Scott Parker 27 @the muntjac @Cubo de Sangre @sickc0d3r @chickenluver @FrontNakedChoke @AndersonsFoot @Tufts
sickc0d3r Top 10 for this week is "Most Quotable movies."
I think I have to think about this one... (and steal other peoples picks)
