Halloween is fast approaching and what better way to get in the spirit than a GBS Movie Night? How is movie night going to work exactly? Well unfortunately my house only has like one couch so we definitely can't have it here. However we can have it online by coordinating when to hit Play on the film, and then we can all live poo poo post about the movie. This thread will be used to voice opinions on what you think we should watch until the time comes to begin the movie. When obtaining a copy of the movie please don't bother telling us where you got it from. We don't condone filez. However if you are too stupid to use google god help you. Movie night will begin on October 30th, 2014 @ 9pm EST. Here are the options on the table.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Young FBI agent Clarice Starling is assigned to help find a missing woman to save her from a psychopathic serial killer who skins his victims. Clarice attempts to gain a better insight into the twisted mind of the killer by talking to another psychopath Hannibal Lecter, who used to be a respected psychiatrist. FBI agent Jack Crawford believes that Lecter, who is also a very powerful and clever mind manipulator, has the answers to their questions and can help locate the killer. However, Clarice must first gain Lecter's confidence before the inmate will give away any information.

[Rec] (2007)

"REC" turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams -- which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report.

The Evil Dead (1981)

Five friends go up to a cabin in the woods, where they find unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. They find a tome called the "Necronomicon", Book of the Dead, and the taped translation of the text. Once the tape is played, the evil is released. One by one, the teens are possessed. With only one remaining, it is up to him to survive the night and battle the evil dead.

The Shining (1980)

Signing a contract, Jack Torrance, a normal writer and former teacher agrees to take care of a hotel which has a long, violent past that puts everyone in the hotel in a nervous situation. While Jack slowly gets more violent and angry of his life, his son, Danny, tries to use a special talent, the "Shining", to inform the people outside about whatever that is going on in the hotel.

Friday the 13th (1980)

One summer at Camp Crystal Lake, a group of young counselors begin to get ready to lead campers. Unfortunately for the former, someone isn't happy about what's going on in the camp and enjoys playing kill the counselor. As bodies fall to the ground in the camp, no one is safe.

If enough people voice they want a sequel then sure why not.

I liked REC a bunch but never bothered to see Quarantine because it looked almost identical. Is it worth seeing?
