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. Or if you prefer, here's a more detailed examination.
The barking deer speaks!
Obviously, he's copying the europe1 meta.
It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958)
Director: Edward L. Cahn
Stars: Marshall Thompson, Shirley Patterson, Kim Spalding
Premise: The first manned expedition to Mars is decimated by an unknown life form which stows away on the rescue ship.
Why the muntjac picked it: Apparently, this is basically Ridley Scott's Alien before Alien. I want to watch it to see how similar the stories really are.
Thriller: A Cruel Picture/They Call Her One Eye (1973)
Director: Bo Arne Vibenius
Stars: Christina Lindberg, Heinz Hopf, Despina Tomazani
Premise: A young woman, muted after a sexual assault as a child, is trained to seek violent revenge on those who have wronged her after being kidnapped and forced to work as a prostitute.
Why the muntjac picked it: Whichever title you want to call it, Quentin Tarantino drew inspiration from this movie for Kill Bill, and I really like those movies. I figure I should visit the well that Tarantino drew from.
Crimewave (1985)
Director: Sam Raimi
Stars: Louise Lasser, Brion James, Paul L. Smith
Premise: A pair of whacked-out cartoon-like exterminator/hitmen kill the owner of a burglar-alarm company, and stalk the partner who hired them, his wife, and a nerd framed for the murder, who tells the story in flashback from the electric chair.
Why the muntjac picked it: An oddball comedy written by the Coen Brothers, and directed by Sam Raimi? Sign me up.
Boss N***** (1975)
Director: Jack Arnold
Stars: Fred Williamson, D'Urville Martin, William Smith (fucking Will Smith is in this?)
Premise: Two black bounty hunters ride into a small town out West in pursuit of an outlaw. They discover that the town has no sheriff, and soon take over that position, much against the will of the mostly white townsfolk. They raise hell, chase women, and milk the locals for cash, while waiting for the opportunity to get their man.
Why the muntjac picked it: I've only seen a small amount of blaxplotation films, and I liked Coffy when we watched it several weeks ago. So I want to see more, and when going through a list of these films, naturally the title of this one caught my eye. But then I saw that Fred Williamson co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in it, so that peaked my interest. And then the director, Jack Arnold, is the same guy who directed Creature From the Black Lagoon, so that peaked my interest even more.

I went with movies I haven't seen before, but there's a particular reason as to what draws me to wanting to watch them.
