So I'm gonna be bored for a few nights this weekend, what are some good movies that you guys can recommend? I like horror and fantasy, mostly.

If you haven't already seen it I would recommend The Great Escape good old fashioned fun.

Princess Mononoke could work for fantasy.

The Darkest Hour

Depends on if you include B-movies in there.

Though, Night of the Living dead (1960) is a classic.

Memento

Couple of my favorites

Pitch Black
Vampire Journals
Dark Portals: Chronicles of Vicdocq (bit of horror and fantasy)
Bruiser (I think this one was made by George Romero horror movie)
Frailty
Supernova
They Live

If you're into horror then Lake Mungo is something a bit different. Probably not to everyone's taste though.

You know what a really fun movie to watch is? How To Train Your Dragon. I've seen it four times now, and just this week watched it twice in two days.

It's best on BluRay. All those CGI animated movies look so sharp in BD.

Got me a Hammer box set last weekend so I'm gonna watch Dracula: Prince of Darkness tonight. Can't go wrong with Christopher Lee.

That or Witchfinder General (which, apparently, is called the Conquerer Worm in the US) which is what I watched last night. Or sticking with Vincent Price, Theatre of Blood is a really really good - and little known - horror film with a really cool concept.

Someone suggested Night of the Living Dead, which is awesome, but Dawn of the Dead (original, obviously) is also classic and is perhaps a little easier to stomach if you prefer stuff with a more modern sheen or for some reason have a problem with black and white films.

For something a little newer, and if you don't mind subtitles (or happen to understand Norweigan) I'd recommend Dead Snow as a great semi-parody of the zombie genre, and probably the best since Shaun of the Dead. Plus my flatmate tells me I have to suggest 28 Days (and Weeks) Later which is definitely a modern classic. He also suggests Alien, which everyone should see. And the Thing (1982). And the Fly (1986) too. He got really excited about those last two.

Wait, somehow I failed to mention Troma. Don't know how I did that...

Scary movie 3.
Greatest conversation ever.

"How can you wake up dead?!"

I'm a bit of a scardy cat when it comes to certain scary movies (not the conventional ones), so maybe my recommendations are a bit invalid:

• Insidious (although, I only watched half -- too scared ;(
  
• ...the Paranormal Activity series

Not pure fantasy, but:

• Pan's Labyrinth

Horror/fantasy:

And also:
Alien 1979
The Descent 2005
The Fly 1986
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978
The Thing 1982
The Mist 2007
[Rec]
Pan's Labyrinth

The Evil Dead-A cult classic.
Evil Dead 2: It's a horrior comady but it's still a good film.
Army of Darkness: Another fun film to watch.
The first four Nightmare on Elm Street films are good.

Destroyin' demons is a good thing son; killin' people is bad.

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of gum.

I would also suggest "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" & "Spirited Away"

And also the classic "the dark Chrystal"

The first two Neverending Story movies---leave the third one out.

The original 1970s Amityville Horror? The Horror genre is so miserably played out and predictable I can't think of a single good one that's come out in decades.

Solaris with George Clooney. It's a sci/fi horror flick.

The Army of Darkness - horror/fantasy B-movie right there, and hilarious.

Big Trouble in Little China

You won't be the same ever again.

Horror:
Session 9
Dead Birds
Cure
Dark Water
The Orphanage
Dog Soldiers
Black Christmas ('74)
The Nameless
Fragile

SciFi:
Equilibrium

For Horror I would haver to say

The Others (Best horror film ever made imo)

Shutter Island (not really a horror as such, more of a mystery thriller but a very good film)
