THE BEST MOVIES I'VE REVIEWED (200th EPISODE EDITION)

[@TheBrandonTenold]

What do you think is the best movie I've reviewed on my show?

[@minillaman6717]

Sup Brandon

[@PaintedMoonBlue]

Any thing with you in it sexy God!

[@CaptianBastard7]

That YOU'VE reviewed...toss up between Highway to Hell or Doctor Mordrid (Full Moon and troma are my cuppa coffee)

[@donovanchilton5817]

Lifeforce.

[@ScrilboBaggins]

Creepshow!

[@peterkrug2327]

4:16 From Beyond 7:54 Hardware 9:45 The Gate 12:53 Phantasm 14:37 Creepshow 16:08 Black Christmas

[@ephramg75]

In the minority here, I find the tall man way cooler and more bad ass than Micheal, Jason, ECT...... Love it when he calls out " BOY!"

[@glenmcculla6843]

It's cinema's second best "BOY!", after Uncle Monty from Withnail & I.

[@larrydotson2625]

I love Phantasm and part 2, and the tall man was certainly more unique than Micheal or Jason, I'll give you that much.

[@chonchjohnch]

>”this isn’t too intense” >guys head melts

[@judsongaiden9878]

Speaking of which, Street Trash is still the standard-setter for "melt movies."

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

It's criminal that Billy Zane has never played Lex Luthor.

[@glennb6020]

John Killion it’s clear that Billy Zane sees himself above comic book films

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

He should have played Batman.

[@LinkMarioSamus]

Glenn B Well he did play The Phantom.

[@BeukendaalMason]

I like Billy Zane, he looks much like the classic Luthor, but Zane acts much like Jesse Eisenberg... a little too high energy for a good Luthor (Luthor should be calm and calculating, not manic).

[@asher8754]

Yes make it happen

[@GameplayandTalk]

It's great to see Demon Knight make the cut! Love the acting in that one and overall I think it has held up very well.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

"Phuq this cowboy shyt."

[@woodgatejack]

One of the things that got me about Black Christmas was when I looked it up on IMDB after I watched the film. One of the pieces of trivia was that a lot of people mistook the film's poster (at a brief glance) for Santa sitting in a rocking chair by a fire, until they watched the film and on seeing the poster again realised it was actually the first victim. I then double checked the film's poster, myself and realised that I to experienced that effect.

[@thenerderrant4293]

I think The Tall Man is thought of as more a supernatural figure than a slasher killer, also the ball has the most memorable kills.

[@charleswalker8262]

Wasn't The Tall Man One Of The Inspiration For The UnderTaker? 17:54

[@terrybennett4053]

Have to disagree about how people view Demon Knight..it seems to have a pretty big cult following. Love that movie.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Yay a GoodBad Flicks mention! Hi Cecil. You're totally spot on about Phantasm it's awesome and the Tall Man is incredibly creepy.

[@oxyrisin]

This is literally my favorite channel.

[@Liam-ly8rv]

Lifeforce is the best cult classic and an underrated cult classic at that.

[@only257]

Liam I enjoyed life force it was a good movie my favorite cult b movies are sorority babies in slimeball bowl o Rama and death race 2000😈

[@RightURKen7]

Lifeforce is a terrible movie and everyone's fond memories of it are all about Mathilda May's perfect body.

[@shainewhite2781]

14:50, I saw Creepshow on Tuesday. It was digitally restored in both picture and sound! I love film restoration! It makes the film more complete.

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

i remember The Gate As a child, i had it on DVD but sold it, that movie is so much fun.

[@grapeshot]

I have to admit From Beyond is a guilty pleasure for me.

[@jonathonriddle9922]

Thank you again for introducing me to Hardware. The movie felt like a 2000AD comic come to life!

Could you make a separate list of the best "so bad they're good" movies please? BTW, great list, love your work!

[@onldhes]

Great idea!

[@mikedurant78]

i will always remember Creepshow, i love that movie for the visuals and the last story with the cockroaches, that Creep me out. i hate roaches. yuck. Thanks Brian for reminding me.

"Zombies take over London." So its a documentary, then.

[@budd.8060]

Amazing list dude!! I love every movie you listed & never miss an episode of your channel. Thank you for all your hard work, & please keep it up.

[@shainewhite2781]

6:08, love Demon Knight! The best comedy horror film with Billy Fucking Zane, being his Zaniest!!!😂😂😂

[@waterandafter]

Please review Waxwork. I watched it again for the first time in 30 years. Loved it as a kid and just didn't realize how crappy it was till I saw it again, except for David Warner, whom is always good.

[@jerrystott7780]

I remember Phantasm when it came out. It was the first movie to really creep me out.

[@scilin8679]

Billy zane punching a hole through the sheriff's head right after the hey man nice shot car chase was pure cinematic gold

[@droth1031]

I love the fact that you included The Gate on this list, since your review of that was the very first of your videos I watched. My wife had seen the trailer for Jumanji The Next Level and she said, "Why would you want to go BACK into the game that tried to kill you?" and I replied, "I don't know, why would you want to go back to the place where you opened a portal to Hell and were nearly a human sacrifice, like The Gate 2?" Turns out, she'd never seen The Gate, and thanks to a quick KZbin search, I found your review, which was probably the next best thing to watching the actual movie! Been a subscriber ever since!

[@angelynx1prime]

Thanks for speaking well of Richard Stanley. Love both Hardware and Dust Devil and the new Color Out of Space.

[@WaspandUnicorn]

I'm a huge fan of Hardware. My husband and I were stoked when you reviewed it.

[@shainewhite2781]

I remember watching clips of that movie. It was a pretty good sci-fi horror classic.

[@jamesaitchison6272]

I saw Hardware back in 1990 when i was 12, a very well developed concept, ultra stylish, sounds are awesome too; top film.

[@Sabocat]

HARDWARE IS MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE!

[@ryanforbes2372]

"unblessed with what the ladies call a too big*

[@gg-er1vv]

I saw it back in the day on VHS and remember thinking it was too dark and grainy, I couldn't make out the robot. soundtrack was great tho. much later on DVD, pretty much the same response. maybe I got a VHS rip dodgy version but I found it hard to watch. still like that soundtrack tho :)

[@rcrone68]

Phantasm is my favorite .. hard to beat Jody, Regg & the tall man.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

"Booooyyyyy"

[@IronSalamander8]

I find it very interesting you mention the classic style of horror movies during the Black Christmas portion. I was too young to watch that one (I was 4 when it came out), and grew up with those classics that I still love to this day more than movies like it. Yeah, they aren't as scary and feel 'safe' compared to what came after, but I really love that classic atmosphere and miss actors like Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and so on. I also grew up with the original Scooby Doo shows and that's part of why I like a softer touch to my horror I think. I love me some spooky castles, haunted houses, and eerie graveyards, but don't need gore or excessive violence, which many more modern movies do have. I also prefer horror set in Victorian times or even earlier where they don't have much technology and it really adds to that overall atmosphere and immersion. Great stuff as always! Really digging your channel.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Phantasm is such a classic! Hope you get to the sequels soon

[@HIMAslapU]

Seen demon knight when it came out, I was probably 15ish.. absolutely loved it

[@shainewhite2781]

11:25, LIFE FORCE!! YES!!! I have some of these movies in Blu Ray from the Shout Factory. The Director's Cut has a memorable music score by Henry Mancini.

[@theterbear9915]

The Creepshow on shudder is good. You should review them when you get a chance.

[@ilejovcevski79]

Death Machine, Demon Knight and Hardware are really some of the movies that shaped my late childhood-early puberty, both as narrative constructs and through their visual style. I would have forgotten about them if not for this channel.....i mean, i would still remember some of the scenes, but not the titles and so could never have the option of re-watching them. The first time i did was after all, back in the golden days of video tape rentals.

[@theyankeedownunder9206]

Creepshow is one of my all time favourites. You need to do a review of The Toxic Avenger or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. They're definitely cult classics that are so bad they're good

[@citabria808]

I saw Phantasm in the theater back in 1979, I was 20 yrs old..scared me really good...Loved it so much...Bubba Ho Tep is a great followup ..

[@UntitledShowwithBobandPat]

Have you ever done a review of the 1972 Tales from the Crypt? or 1973 The Vault of Horror?

[@AtariLegend]

Fantastic Top 10. Phantasm is definitely one of my favorites

[@shainewhite2781]

2:50, love Death Machine. It was on Syfy a year ago! It's another sci-fi action horror classic.

[@tetsubo57]

Yea, Hardware is criminally underappreciated. Phantasm is a great example of 'show, don't tell'. The best modern film that pulls that off is Fury Road.

[@TheWolfmansgotnards]

"goes further than watership down" - hasn't seen the horror of the plague dogs

[@umachan9286]

That movie is just heart wrenching.

[@moirakizito4828]

😢

[@brothermutant7370]

Demon Knight was waaay better than people gave it credit for. Very funny, entertaining, and still "scary" enough to make it a scary movie. Kudos for also liking it. Love your channel man. Can't wait to see the next 200 shows).

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

Hardware, also has a kick ass 80's alternative soundtrack which is also a major plus

[@mattvanmantgem8600]

Congrats on ( now over) 200 episodes! Some really great choices here- From Beyond, Hardware, The Gate, Lifeforce, Phantasm- and unlike just about every other list like this, I'm not offended by the choices I'm not on board with- and no "obvious" choices, so I could live with this list as a good place to point someone to some good movies. Still think that you need at least one Linda Blair movie on your channel, but you do you, you obviously know what you're doing!

[@19tc85]

Ah yes, good job, Brandon. Black Christmas is an all time, underrated classic. Here some requests for some new reviews The Burning Pumpkinhead Street Trash Sound of Horror The Twilight People Robot Monster From Hell It Came Just to name a few.

[@MoviesThirteen]

Dude, I am right there with you on the #1...and with your view on Phantasm II. The second Phantasm is so fun, and if I’m going to sit down and watch one, that’s my go to favorite.

[@Rogerio_FM]

Hey, you placed Phantasm in there, so, 10/10 list.

[@shainewhite2781]

1:00, reminds me a lot like An American Tail, if it was R Rated!

[@frankfreyiii]

I've seen most of the movies on your list and I agree with you. I also like your analysis. You've obviously put a lot of time and work into it and it shows.

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

The Gate also caters to the Stranger Things demographic. Highly recommended 🤘😎

[@NodDisciple1]

Will you ever review the two 70s "Tales From The Crypt" Movies since you reviewed all the modern Tales From The Crypt and Creepshow Movies?

[@UnrelatedAntonym]

Ahh Phantasm. The mustard blood fingers. The evil jawas. Great stuff :p

[@TorontoJon]

1:05 Hehe, I actually worked on 'Felidae' as an assistant animator/inbetweener for a Vancouver animation studio called Natterjack which was subcontracted by a German studio. I still haven't seen the movie after all these years other than what you've shown during your review, Brandon. :)

[@chicostephenson]

Hardware is how I got into your show. I remembered watching that when I was a little kid!!

[@nicholasburns729]

Like your channel. I have not seen all your reviews yet. But it's keeping me sane during the End of Days. Have you noted that many of the 70s and 80s movies made in the United Kingdom have very good visual effects for meagre budgets (excluding Star Wars and Superman movies). Someone would think the crew worked on something with a much lower budget and still had to produce "good" effects? P.S. Don't know if you have done Warlords of Atlantis Yet. Was it in your Doug McClure trilogy reviews. You would like the love interest. Given the writers and the plot, I believe it was a failed script for my favourite TV series.

[@Thracian117]

I completed this list, drinks and movies in what I will call the tenold marathon, this was awesome!

[@mattz1980]

Always loved Demon Knight, Billy Zane makes my all time best Villains list

[@sorrenblitz805]

I'm glad to see Hardware on this list, it's actually one of my favorite movies and really shows the kind of Terminator plot type (minus the time travel) in the horror style I always thought the first Terminator gave off. Always thought Terminator made a good horror concept.

[@richard_n]

I need to check out a lot of these movies. The one I do know was Phantasm and it really creeped me out as a kid.

[@juliusebola9389]

The plot of Phantasm is literally the plot of Plan 9 from Outer Space. They're both movies about aliens who attempt to enslave the dead, except the Tall Man & Co. are from another dimension instead of another planet.

[@katiehunter7313]

im really enjoying looking at the shape of your head for several min on end, well done~

[@maximusthecannabist5170]

You gotta check out a nymphoid barbarian in dinosaur hell its freakin awesome.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I knew lifeforce would make this list

[@jamesh5460]

The Return of the Living Dead. One of my all time favorites.

[@jasonblalock4429]

Speaking of movies with a relationship to Tales From The Crypt, you should watch and\or review The Frighteners someday. The "middle child" of Peter Jackson's career that no one seems to remember, despite being a really fun horror-comedy. I genuinely don't understand why it doesn't have more of a following, except maybe that it's overshadowed by Jackson's early stuff. (The TFTC connection is that for awhile it was slated to be another TFTC movie, but then it turned into a standalone film.)

[@TheRealNormanBates]

3:00 the DC of DEATH MACHINE is out on blu in Germany Stephen Norrington (who also directed BLADE) was an FX assistant on ALIENS 16:23 actually, BAY OF BLOOD (if not BLOOD AND BLACK LACE) was the first slasher film. BLACK CHRISTMAS was the first holiday themed slasher

[@Squiggly667]

I too am always surprised that so few people have seen Lifeforce. Lifeforce is just a great deal of fun. Lots of gore, lots of nudity, plenty of action, and more than a few shocking moments that are truly effective horror. The acting is on point as are the FX. Then ending is a bit abrupt, but outside of that I always enjoyed the film. I think it deserves more attention than it gets outside of diehard horror fans like myself.

[@lanceuppercut3498]

It's interesting what you said about Lifeforce being like a Hammer film if they had continued into the 1980s as if I am correct Tobe Hooper has said Lifeforce is his homage to the old Hammer movies.

[@rolandart5670]

speaking of genuinely good cult classics, you should review Ladyhawke.

[@ironox8480]

Halloween was the first Blockbuster slasher film. And thank you for featuring black christmas. Watch it every year it's my essential christmas flick.

[@BigDictator5335]

I watch Lifeforce for 2 things: the plot and the effects

[@montymoo111]

Demon night has a great soundtrack too

[@KRhetor]

You probably should have made this a two-parter in order to expand your selection to twenty movies. You've reviewed a lot a genuinely good, even outstanding movies but some people just look at the title card of a video and say "Not Godzilla? I'm leaving" so it would help to bring more attention to them.

[@jamesschulziii9098]

I am entertained by your videos keep up with the good work sir. 😉

[@TKDragon75]

You really gotta do Shin-Godzilla eventually. I know most Godzilla movies get repetitive. But without spoiling much, the tone is a lot more realistic, there are no Kennys, and it brings back a lot of that old first Godzilla movies feel but with a modern atmosphere.

[@RaimarLunardi]

Ever Watched "House II: The Second Story (1987)" (forget about 1 and 3) it's standalone and if you liked those, you'll like this one for sure!

[@dannysworld5430]

Well no. Trailer. That's a. Move in the. Right direction let's try again how about doing the night stalker with Darren mcgavin 73 or the. Part2

[@matthewdunham1689]

You should check out the Creepshow series on Shudder, it's very well done. Similar to Tales from the Crypt

[@AndrewGivens]

Since this video, Brandon has reviewed George Pal's 'War of the Worlds', people. He just keeps doing better and better movies!

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

I just watched At The Earth’s Core and thought it was brilliant.

[@groovebritanniaofficial31]

Good list! Dig the shirt Brandon!

[@LoaphMeat]

Phantasm is my all time favorite horror film, largely because it was so weird and left everything up to interpretation. Happy to see it on the list.

[@Variocom]

Wonder if he knows that there's a remake of Black Christmas coming out this December...

[@Blindashitmetalasfuck]

And it was a FUCKING TERRIBLE girl power flick that was made to push a lefty agenda...

Hey Brandon I have a suggestion for your next review. Abominable from 2006, here's a list a few people and in the cast, Lance henrikson, Jeffery Combs.

Glad to see Demon Knight and Hardware on this list. Nemesis is my fave low budget scifi action film.

[@kzinful]

Black Christmas. I saw this at a drive-in, it caught me off guard with its atmosphere of dread, this one seriously creeped me out. Phantasm. I won't add more than what you touched on, I Love this movie, say what you will: it was ( and still is ) original.

Alice sweet Alice from 1976 you need to do that

[@NefariousKoel]

Best actually based on Lovecraft stories: "Dagon". Also do one on a more recent Coscarelli film, "John Dies At The End". Unfortunate that so much had to be purged and changed from the book, but it still hit the comedy-horror feel wonderfully.

[@andrewthompson4148]

Felidae is on youtube. And I've been using the hodunk podunk line since I saw demon night. Thank you Billy zane And why has Brandon reviewed screamers?

[@TemmiePlays]

if it makes ya feel good, do it! Zane cemented his place in my list of all time favorite actors for that one role. I forgive him for the Phantom

[@mr.danfam]

That was the late Lemmy from Motörhead driving the boat in Hardware! 🤘

[@kellinwinslow1988]

Phantasm is actually better than any of the Friday the 13th movies. Saw it late at night on TV when I was little and had no idea what it was but I was mesmerized by it. Bubba Ho Tep and John Dies at the End may be his best movies but Phantasm really put Don on the map.
