Army of Darkness: The Medieval Dead

"It is a time of great evil. The Army of Darkness is rising. Into this medieval confusion arrives Ash, newly transported from the 20th century. He is reluctantly hailed as a hero sent to oppose the Deadites. Fully armed with a chainsaw, a shotgun and a '73 sedan, he goes in search for the 'Book of the Dead' which contains the spell to open the doorway through time. Unfortunately, Ash, not being the brightest of heroes, reads out the wrong spell, ressurecting the Army of Dead. Will the world be plunged into darkness, forever? Will he save the beautiful maiden, Sheila? Does one loudmouth, cowardly hero really care? Find out as Director, Sam Raimi, brings this hilarious third part of the 'Evil Dead' series back to life."

What better film to have as the first on your shelf? This is a great film with just enough horror and comedy to make it enjoyable but not too over the top.

An American Werewolf in London

"Two American students on vacation are confronted with an ancient terror as they walk along the moors on a moonlit night. Superb special effects with a fine Elmer Bernstein score. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Make-Up in 1981."

I'm not a huge hairy beast fan, but this one is a must have.

Apollo 13

"It has been less than a year since man first walked on the Moon, but as far as the American public was concerned, Apollo 13 was just another 'routine' space flight - until these words pierced the immense void of space: 'Houston, we have a problem.' A riveting suspense thriller from Imagine Entertainment."

I suppose if you are American you might care a bit more about thispointless boring film, but I'm not. I don't even care that it was a true story. Save your true stories for someone else. Not me.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

"When yet another secret government project goes awry, nature runs amuck! This time, garden variety tomatoes take on mammoth proportions and crabby dispositions, and begin attacking innocent people! Special investigator Mason Dixon heads a... special investigation in an effort to save the world from total tomatofication. Includes in-your-face humor, hilarious fashions, long-lost footage, and bran-new, never-before-seen stuff, like an exlusive interview with a confessed killer tomato. You'll never look at a salad bar the same way again!"

Well, what can I say about this film? It's strange how Mars Attacks is so similar really. Worth watching, just turn the sound down when the singing starts!
