Taxidermia - 2006

I had no idea how much I liked Hungarian cinema before I saw this. If it's any indication of what the rest of the country's films are like, then Hungary is one kick-ass place. Unfortunately, this tale of sex, death, fire-cum and self-taxidermy is probably way too far off the radar of good people to use as a litmus for the country. Seriously, starving people could just watch this five times a day. There's no way you're eating afterward.

Monster Squad - 1987

Somehow this trailer hasn't been posted on this blog previously. How'd we miss it? Only the Gods can know. Basically, this movie rules. It's about a bunch of kids who befriend Frankenstein's monster and then fight off the entire Universal creature pantheon, sending them all through a gateway to another dimension. Also, there's a scary German guy who lived through Auschwitz. This movie is so awesome that last year there was a two disc DVD set called Monster Squad Forever! documenting its total awesomeness.
