In my personal quest to watch every zombie film worth watching in the history of cinema, I've watched The Pit (got it for a few bucks at this local used-media place). Gotta say, though, this is the first time I've ever seen it recommended.

Silent Rage - Chuck Norris' foray into the bizarre. Actually, pretty well done. And his fight with the biker gang is one of his best.

If we all liked the same movie, there'd only be one movie!

I love this kind of off-beat flick. One of my favorites is "Innocent Blood". Mafia mobsters, vampires and cops. Who can resist a movie with Robert Loggia and Don Rickles as vampires?

The Hidden is pretty good.

The Hidden is amazing! I loved this movie when I rented the VHS (no more than a year ago!) and just had to get the DVD. I was quite thrilled with it in the end.
And I did happen to watch Dead Heat for the first time last night on OnDemand. I quite enjoyed this one, too. A 3/5 from me.

My original new sig was too many characters too long. So, this is all I've got.

Brain Damage. Its amazingly sick and gross and funny and inventive. They don't make em like 80s movies anymore.
