Sorry, I love that line.
I've just bought a boxset of classic Universal Horror movies (Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Wolf Man - but no Spanish Dracula
) I'm about halfway through 'Dracula' - its great, but watching a movie from the 30's makes me feel spoilt with all the technology available today.
And, scarily enough:
Ed Wood
This movie has shot instantly into my 'all time favourites' list. Tim Burton really understands Ed Wood, and it definitely shows. Its not mocking Ed, its actually celebrating him - although the only way to celebrate him is to mock him......but in a nice way.
Its hilarious, tragic, and uplifting all at the same time. Its crammed full of so many memorable quotes ("Look, Bela's dead and Vampira won't talk. I had to give somebody the dialog!") and its really funny seeing what could have gone on behind the scenes of Ed Woods movies - anything could have happened....and everything does.
Its incredible. Go watch it if you show any appreciation for Ed Wood, or 50's B-Movies in general.
