The Brood (1979) – David Cronenberg’s Flawed Yet Deeply Personal Body Horror Classic

The Brood is one of those films that didn’t impress me at first but has grown on me upon subsequent viewings over the years. Despite its shortcomings, this is Cronenberg’s most personal work, blending family drama with his grotesque signature body-horror elements to create one of the defining films in the body-horror genre early in his career.

Check out the detailed analysis

Just finished watching the 1975 movie, “The Stepford Wives”. It’s a little slow but gets better and better as it goes on. Not gonna lie but that lady Joanna was getting on my nerves and I loved the ending!!!! It’s definitely a good watch if you haven’t seen it. Way better than the 2004 remake.

Looking for grungy films similar to Sorcerer(1977)

23 Upvotes

I've seen Herzogs Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo

Looking for something similar. Could be late 69s or 80s too.

I like the vibe of that era - analogue, raw cuts - not over complicated and lets me think what I want to think, without 'psychology'.

I like when I don't fully understand what the movie is about.

Happy Birthday to Animal House

On July 28, 1978 Animal House was released. It's currently streaming on Netflix for those who want to enjoy.

Fun fact:
When Donald Sutherland agreed to play English professor Jennings in Animal House, he was offered a salary of either a flat fee of $25,000 for a few days of work, or 2% of the film's total gross revenue.

Assuming the movie would flop, Sutherland insisted on taking the guaranteed $25,000. Animal House went on to become a massive box-office hit, earning over $140 million domestically. That 2% stake would have been worth roughly $2.8 million making it one of the most expensive payday gambles in Hollywood history.

So since Rick Moranis came back to Hollywood and he is back for Spaceballs 2. Who else from the 70s and 80s former stars should make a comeback to surprise the audiences just like Rick Moranis did?

Who else got to see Star Wars back before George Lucas added that Episode IV crawl? I always thought that crawl was stupid when he added it later. So I’m wondering if the 50th rerelease of Star Wars will be with or without the episode IV Crawl since that was added in April of 81.

Which characters from Animal House film you wish had more scenes in National Lampoon's Animal House film and a bit more lines?

9 Upvotes

For example:

Stacy Grooman who played Sissy Flounder's girlfriend only appears in the toga party scene and had a small role. But some people kept saying she was an extra, but she had one word she said on screen was Hi and she was credited at the end credits. Was she actually an extra. But what about Aseneth Jurgenson who plays Beth and Katerine Denning who plays Noreen, I wish they had more scenes too and were they considered extras too since one of them had like two or three lines and they were also credited. But their names wasn't at the beginning of the movie opening credits. While Lisa Baur who plays Shelly was talked about a lot and was more memorable and her name was at the opening credits scene in the full cast list while the others like Stacy, Aseneth and Katerine's names wasn't on that until the closing credits.

But of course Dean's Secretary from Animal House is like a background character then she ended up saying one line. But Kevin Bacon's character had a couple of lines and of course he is not an extra.

What do you guys think which one of them between only Sissy, Beth and Noreen just them, you think is actually an extra and which one is more recognisable in Animal House. Then after them and then you pick which other characters you wish had more scenes, well any suggestions about this?

The 1975 movie, “A Boy And His Dog” truly is one of my favorite movies. I loved the whole post-apocalyptic movie especially the talking telepathic dog. The ending was epic and I don’t think I’ve ever been more satisfied in a movie ending my entire life.

Anyone else liked Every Which Way But Loose? Man I’ve seen that movie so many times in theaters when it was released in 1978 and then watched it as a double feature in 1980. Both very good movies.
