Screaming in the movies is like shooting someone in the face with a nuclear missile: you already have our undivided attention, yet you insist on using maximum force to really hammer home your point. Obnoxious as screaming in movies can become if over-done, when used effectively it can lead to some of the most iconic [...]

The first zeppelin (named after inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, seriously) took to the skies exactly 109 years ago, and though we’re a little sad they didn’t catch on as well as the airplane, we suppose all the flammable gases and whatnot are a plenty good reason. At any rate, to celebrate that 109th anniversary, [...]

As we sit in our office, staring blankly out the window at the sunny landscape passing us by, we’re feeling a little like inmates. Appropriately, then, we’re trying to remember how some of our favorite action stars escaped in their prison break movies. Future of Classic offers a helping hand with their listicle of The [...]

As we all know better than we’d like to admit, child prodigies often turn into, well, not the greatest adults. It’s probably something to do with our cannibalistic celebrity culture, but pre-teen fame has a way of leading to all kinds of disastrous behaviors in adulthood. Still, there are more than enough exceptions to prove [...]

Though horror devotees often display a ritualistic distrust of movies that try to fuse other genres onto a horror structure, we believe there’s something to be said for the giddy recombination of generic registers. After all, so many of the greatest horror films are also extremely funny (Suspiria, Friday the 13th, etc.). David Wellington of [...]

Subverting common movie listicle conventions, Alonzo Mosley created this vidsticle of 100 Numbers in 100 Movie Quotes about two years ago. While we’re a little disappointed by his number one choice, we’re also really impressed with his number 2. Don’t take our word for it though:

Honing in on the strange bonds of twin-hood, Unreality’s David Madison offers a listicle of 8 Memorable Movie Twins, including the such terrific pairings as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Of course, more than rumored telekinesis between siblings, we find the uncanny doppelganger effect of identical twinning to be [...]

Some lists just don’t pan out, you know? Like back at the end of November it was Winston Churchill’s birthday and we really wanted to create a listicle called “Top 10 Winston Churchill Scarecrows” because we knew of at least one. That turned out to be the only one though, so we scrapped the listicle [...]

Unlike movie births – which tend to not inspire particularly iconic one-liners – movie deaths are among the most memorable of cinematic happenings. Maybe it’s because so many action films end with a spectacular death, maybe it’s because cinema is our collective fantasy life and all our repressed desires for death and destruction come out [...]

If you were weirded out by Barack H. Obama’s middle name, then this list probably isn’t for you. Sure, you may have heard of some of these before (like Harry S Truman and Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette), but you probably didn’t know that Elton John’s middle name is Hercules.
Frankly, the biggest surprise for us was that [...]
