Tabonga | 2,531 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) I have 2 possibles. Exit Speed - about a group of people on a bus who run afoul with a biker gang - they wind up in a scrapyard under siege where they have to improvise weapons to defend themselves. This is one heckuva a great movie - I can't go into it all since virtually anything said about it would be a spoiler. Fans of Identity or Usual Suspects should dig this one. Both are available free on Roku. Edited July 25 by Tabonga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the very rare movies that kept me guessing all along - and the guesses were invariably wrong. It is a real sleeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally bonkers. (You can watch it for free on Hoopla using your public library card.) Edited July 25 by G-type 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching a lot of the '80s sword and sandal fantasy numbers is pretty tough for me nowadays,but this is one that remains very entertaining. I actually just dropped $40 last night to order the 4K, since it was of the big remaining gaps in my nostalgia movie collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Deathstalker were ones that generated way too many sequels (like more than zero) that were increasingly shoddy. Beastmaster also had a tv series - which somewhat surprisingly lasted 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverspoonGaming | 344 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Ive always read that Sharknado is a B movie, and I actually enjoyed it when it was new so Id like to give it another watch. I really wanna like one of the movies that we choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-type | 2,790 Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 (edited) PS I don't mind finding a link and writing a blurb, but if you want to include that with your nominations in the future, I'll use it. Edited July 26 by G-type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,909 Editorials Team · Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Voted Housebound, but I'll watch them all, especially my copy of Beastmaster as soon as it arrives. And I guess I'll finally watch Sharknado. Always been very resistant to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 4,187 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Beast master sounds good but I’ve got to support my NZ brothers and vote Housebound. I haven’t seen it and I always enjoy the quirky takes NZ has on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type | 2,790 Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 (edited) Housebound was a very engaging thriller. Lots of twists and turns, and some suspenseful moments. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before. Its a tough movie to discuss without spoiling anything for the people that haven't watched it yet. I can't even talk about what movie it reminded me of... because then I might spoil THAT movie. (Well I suppose I can hide it with a spoiler tag) Spoiler It had some aspects that reminded me of Cobweb, (but I think Housebound is the better movie. but Cobweb is scarier) Edited August 2 by G-type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
