Musical? Now you know there is really only one in past 12 years...

Cannibal! The Musical

You will have those songs stuck in you head for years after one viewing.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...

(the fact I actually lived through a few escapades depicted in that movie has NOTHING to do with it).

That's it, the ONE... the END... (If Hunter Thompson were still alive I would sell Crakeur's soul to get him to write for us here at ATS.)


Springer...

DRAMA – Crash

ACTION/ADVENTURE – Kill Bill 1 & 2

MILITARY – Saving Private Ryan

COMEDY – Snatch & Army of Darkness

ROMANTIC – never really watched these.

Aww man could you imagine haveing Hunter Thompson write for ATS

"In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are %$£"% until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep."

—The Great Shark Hunt, 1979


im still trying to do my top movies in each genre .......i even went to IMDB for some inspiration it was pointless.

They have war films that are under romance, dramas that are cartoons,action films that are in foreign language,si-fi that is under horror,adventure films that are under war flims.

it goes on and on...........i gave up


When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
Hunter S. Thompson

i love that
