    @SaintMark, love that bit from 'Raw.' I'm sure that's exactly how it went at the time, and Eddie nailed it.

    The Coppola film is not very true to the novel, but it is such a beautiful film, and you can still just read the novel.

    Like I said, it is a beautiful soft porn. What I find unforgivable is that he claimed and sold the movie as THE definite adaptation of the novel. Which it clearly was not. That and it is also a grotesque caricature of Victorian England. I had to wait for The Picture of Dorian Gray to find such a desecration of such amazing source material.

    There are over 200 Dracula films made since 1919, so enough to choose from. Only Holmes has more films under his belt.

    I remember coming out if The Last Crusade really hyped and disappointed that this was going to be the last Indiana Jones movie. Then disappointed decades later that it was not the case.
    Agreed on both accounts.

    The faithful Dracula movie has yet to be shot. I love the Hammer ones (some of them anyway), love Nosferatu, but there is still one yet to be made.

    Something to look forward to, then. Which is always good.

    Well, somebody needs to do it. And do it right. I am thinking of Mark Gatiss. At least for the script.

    I prefer Coppola's Dracula over any Twilight and their ilk, every day of the week.

    He's their cinematic father.

    Something Bram Stoker never cared about, if he knew anything about Vlad Tepes apart from his nickname.

    I don't think that version set out to be all that faithful to the source material. Let's call a spade a spade, it's a tv movie, but Palance makes for an animalistic, brooding Dracula.

    Licence To Kill. Was really looking forward to this new serious Bond. Had loved TLD and I was so excited for the series to go in a more serious direction. Came out of the cinema utterly deflated. It just didn't work.

    The Force Awakens. A horrible Star Wars clone. It felt fake and processed.

    Batman v Superman. God that was a slog to sit through. Misguided, bloated, with a script I'm shocked got cleared for filming.

    I went in full costume and was majorly depressed after seeing it. What a piece of crap movie. I'll be skipping the next one as well.

    I'm already cautious about the next installment, given they've hired the exact same writer to pen it that worked on KOTCS.

    Both of mine are Batman related.

    The best audience experience was when my two friends and I went to an eight hour long event at the nearest cinema to us, which was showing Batman Begins and the Dark Knight back to back before screening The Dark Knight Rises right after at the midnight premiere of it. To be in a room of nothing but ride or die Batman fans was exhilarating, and I'll never forget when the last shot of TDKR cut the screen to black and the whole place erupted in applause and screams of joy. Truly an unforgettable experience.

    And everyone here who has been in the Batman threads knows my most disappointing theater experience, so I won't go into that movie again as it gives me headaches.

    SPECTRE

    After that I felt like walking on air for days. And I've seen it a whopping 14 times at the cinema which is a new record for me.

    I won't tell though, which movie I have seen the second most at the cinema, it's just too embarrassing.

    Or should I...

    on your own risk:

    RISK!!!
    Dirty Dancing
    The Bodyguard (both 12 times)

    The most hyped I have been after seeing a film on the big screen: The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Bourne Ultimatum, Taken, In Bruges, Lord of War and Inception.

    born in 1984, i don't have full conscious memories of seeing films before the year 1992, when i remember seeing Batman Returns... i have vague recollections of seeing TMNT in 1990, but i don't remember much..... so.... films that i remember being super hyped leaving?..

    Batman Returns
    Jurassic Park (that was like my first orgasmic film experience as a young lad lol.)
    Batman Forever
    Mortal Kombat (which in retrospect is a pretty awful movie - but i loved it as a kid)
    Independence Day
    Titanic (i didn't walk out like "wooo titanic", but i really liked/like the movie, and i went to see it quite a few times)
    Scary Movie (the original - still really funny)
    X-Men
    Spider-man (first time i experienced a standing ovation when the film ended)
    Resident Evil
    Freddy vs Jason
    The Punisher (2004 movie)
    Batman Begins
    Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith (the best film of prequels - bitter sweet at the time, because it left me wanting more.)
    Casino Royale
    Shaun Of The Dead
    Halloween (2007 Rob Zombie film)
    Iron Man
    The Incredible Hulk
    Hot Fuzz
    Fast & Furious
    Shutter Island
    Fast Five
    21 Jump Street
    The World's End
    Captain America: Winter Soldier
    Star Wars: The Force Awakens



    movies that left me feeling... disappointed?..



    Batman & Robin (nuff said)
    Halloween H20 (after the hardcoreness of the previous film, this one felt like Party Of Five with Michael Myers thrown in)
    Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (again, nuff said)
    Jason X (even the extremely low bar i set for it couldn't be matched)
    Undercover Brother (not really funny, came off as white bashing to me)
    Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines (didn't hate it - but i expected something more like the first 2, what i saw was a pale imitation)
    Resident Evil: Apocalypse (never did a movie start so good, but end so horribly bad)
    The Hulk (the Ang Lee p.o.s)
    X-Men Origins: Wolverine (fell asleep through most of it)
    The Spirit (fell asleep through most of this one too)
    Meet The Spartans (i wanted to see Rambo, my friend chose this one instead.... it's a mistake he still hasn't lived down)
    Friday The 13th (remake) (first 15 minutes = awesome.. rest of the movie = meh.)
    A Nightmare On Elm St (remake) (jump scare the movie... awful... no one can touch the horror magic that Wes Craven and Robert Englund created in the original)
    GI Joe: Rise Of Cobra (what a p.o.s)
    Resident Evil: Afterlife ($30 for 2 3D tickets down the drain, and 2 hours of my life i'll never get back)
    The Dark Knight Rises (left the movie really disappointed - did not like Nolan's 3rd Batman film, as much as liked his first)
    Furious 7 (i don't really dislike this movie, considering the circumstances which surrounded it it's amazing they were able to get a movie made at all.... but i remember leaving the theater with a flat feeling.. just dont like how crazy insane the series has gotten)

    I was hyped for GE and CR a lot, but I think the first LOTR movie might have been when I was most hyped. I was very hyped after X-Men too which is ironic because I'm now bored of that franchise.

    @mcdonbb, as long as it was a manly cry, I can live with it.

    @bondjames... well it was a subdued short cry with my daughter turning to me asking if I was crying ....not sure if that counts.

    Was probably just popcorn butter in my eye :D
