Title: Top 5 movies
Post by: PlanB on February 12, 2006, 01:55:57 AM
Top 5 moives in no particular order, they dont have to be good movies just ones which hit that special place inside you that makes you go ummmmm:

1.Donnie darko       (Bloody excellent  film, once you watched it, then watch it again, then mulled over it for a few days, Great music aswell)
2.Anything with Arnold schwarzenegger           (I grow up with the likes of total recall, running mad and terminator. Never a good actor, but i love to watch his films)
3.Leon            (Makes me want to lie on top of buildings and shoot people with paint ball guns)
4. Monthy pythons holy grail             (The knights who say Ni!, need i say more)
5. first 2 aliens             ( "Game over man!, Game over!)

Dose anyone have a really crap, naff or otherwise awful film they just love to watch, like a unnecessary sentimental attachment to what is just a plain pants movie.

Mine would be Tremors (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100814/), a film about giant worms that eat people ( much cooler than the ones in Dune of course). I watched it as a bern an loved it ever since.

I invented the game of tremors in which someone gets into the sleeping bag up to there head (the tremor) and some1 simple jumps around on the furniture trying not to touch the floor (thus be eaten by the tremor). Things took a turn for the worse when my brother invented anti-tremor devices. These mainly consisted of socks filled with a apple, hard enough to bruise but not so hard as to cause permenant damage. The uber-anti-tremor device (a sock with a bunch of old batterys in it) was strictly off limits, it was only used once.

Dark Star (one of John Carpenter's early efforts). When the actors bump into the walls of the space ship you can see the set shaking and don't get me started on the alien in the lift. You gotta see it if you haven't  :roflmao:

There's a good chance you can unlock you DVD Player so that you can make it DVD-region free and hence play any DVD on it.

What model is it?

Tremors, classic film. PLUS the sequal was just as hilarious as the first one!

Tremors is NOT naff, crap, or otherwise awful. You take that back!

To make this region-free:

1. Ensure disc tray is empty.

2. Press "Repeat" (this is on the bottom right of the remote control and shouldn't be confused with Repeat A/B which is on the left) on the R/C then enter 5,7,5,3,8

3. The number "2" (current region code) should appear in the top left of the screen.

4. Quickly press the number "9" button on the R/C, for "multi region".

5. Wait 20 seconds, then power off, then on again
