Landmark After Dark

Best remembered for being that catchy eighties buddy comedy with the hit theme song on MTV, GHOSTBUSTERS is a whole lot more-- it's one of the seminal modern horror comedies, providing the creeping dread and jump scares you want from a horror movie back-to-back with stuff so funny it'll make you cry, possibly vomit, and most likely wet yourself.

Every other horror filmmaker takes a crack at this these days, and good luck to them with that: there will always be movies like this one to lay them low when they blow it. The good guys are the kind of buddies you wish you had, the bad guys are earth-shakingly scary, and even the bit parts are classic cinema. And if that's not enough to convince you, here's two more words: BILL MURRAY. Check this one out-- 'cause Bustin' makes you feel good!

By turns violent and very funny, this blistering black comedy weaves together three lurid tales of small-time criminal life in Hollywood. Inspired by popular crime fiction of the '30s and '40s, director Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown) introduces us to a pair of thick-witted hit-men (John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson), a double-crossing prizefighter on the run (Bruce Willis), his absent-minded girlfriend (Maria de Medeiros), the hit-men-hiring mob boss (Ving Rhames), his exotic but drug-addled wife (Uma Thurman), and two young lovers contemplating a career change—namely whether to start sticking up restaurants instead of liquor stores (Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer).

This one little film ensured not even SNAKES ON A PLANE could put Samuel L. Jackson out of steady work, did more for Travolta's carreer than any talking baby movie, and launched a thousand syringes straight into audiences' cinematic hearts. Get on down to see this now. Zed says so!
