I can't bring myself to even watch the one based on the musical. I think it would destroy me.

The original is unwatchable. John Waters with a PG rating?

Purleez - give me a break!

At least the remake holds no pretenses, and didn't sell out!

*Note - I am a fan of the early 'bad-taste' Waters films, but the original version of 'Hairspray' left me cold

I liked it, it's certainly worth a watch on a wet afternoon. It is a comedy with a bit of suspense, just a bit.

Different strokes. I still think the '88 version is fantastic as much as I love his early work for me there is nothing wrong with a bit of PG John Waters, it certainly beats some of the stuff churned out these days.

Wasn't Gibson lined up to direct a film about a Jewish warrior set in Old Testament times just prior to his meltdown?

THE PACT. Surprisingly good haunted house/ghost film with a twist you'll never guess. It has quite a nasty undercurrent running through it which greatly enhances the tension and suspense.

i like those films too. im sure he will make another film and it could be good if he has creative control

anyhoo watched the classic Halloween again. years since last time i watched it it didnt seem to give me the scares as i remember. could be because i have seen it before or maybe because im older or finding out the mask is william shattner

one thing though is the music is still chilling. if anyone else knows a film with better use of music let me know. this dvd came with a mini documentary. never knew how low budget and how quickly it was made
