The list just got 10 feet higher. I had a lot of motivation to finish this list before its anniversary but this is the 3rd time it's been expanded. There's no way I'm going to finish it any time soon. Good thing Dlotn signed on to watch it too. My pain is his suffering. I promised the list will grow. And this shouldn’t be viewed as some sort of burden. These are great movies that you should enjoy. |

There are some great classics in here, nobody is denying that, but a lot of these are really bad. Don't get me wrong, I want this list to grow, but I wanted the feeling of accomplishment of finished it before it grew again. I appreciate this list man, otherwise I wouldn't watch any of them. |

This list has it's anniversary today. I knew it was around this time a year this thread was made so I just randomly checked in to see. Still not finished it, but I appreciate it. I did finish the original version of the list though, and I'll finish the current version before the next anniversary.

Finally came back to watch some more films in this list. I know I've haven't watched anything in 5 months, but I've now watched so many good movies that I'm starting to crave some more low-tier hidden gems. Unfortunately I had to get through the piece of shit that is Rocktober Blood:
"God I finally mustered enough time to bore myself to death with this garbage. This movie stopped me from continuing my quest to watch every movie on the Mega List for more than 5 months (it was that uninteresting). The music is supposed to be a good part, but honestly it sucks and with this quality you might as well shit in a toilet and clog it then listen that as it floods when you flush. The pacing is so bad and inconsistent that catch myself watching my phone and the clock all the time. It absolutely fails at gaining my attention. The best part of this movie is when I found out that the last 15 minutes was an interview so I finished it 15 minutes earlier than expected. I honestly cannot see why people think this is a good cult film. It sucks. Go watch anything else." 1/5 Honestly one of the worst in this list.
By the way, I found a legit source on Stunt Rock. It has foreign subtitles burnt in the picture, but besides that it's good. I've added it to the list but didn't remove the shady link if anyone prefers to have better quality and pirate it.

Got time to watch another one. Stunt Rock: "For a non-movie this is not half bad. It has some great music and even fucking Merlin is in this band (that is pretty badass if you ask me). I appreciate and respect all the stunts done. There were times where I actually thought that the stuntmen were on fire for too long. It was impressive I must say. All that said though, is there are movie at all under this facade? Honestly I cannot tell. If there was a story it probably sucked and was less memorable than slice of bread with ham. I do not know why I enjoyed having this on, because it far from good. I guess the thing is that it is not obnoxious in any way like a lot of these low budget movies are. It was fun. Still, it is hard to call it a movie." 2/5 I'm going to get through these eventually. Dlotn on the other hand has quite a bit to catch up on. |

One of the movies on the list I've been looking forward to watching ever since you put it on cobretti was Heavy Metal Parking Lot. I've finally seen it, and it was pretty good. I would never have watched it unless you recommended it. It's movies like these I like taking on recommendations. "This film peaked my interest. A documentary about what is going on in a parking lot where people are waiting to watch Judas Priest live? That sounds fantastic. And you know what? It delivered. What is so great about it is how inherently human it is. It is a bunch of young people waiting excitedly in a parking lot where they have a good time. Some people drink, some do drugs, some talk about their excitement, some talk about what they dislike and it all becomes this concoction of different people that is such a cool snapshot from that period. It was pretty genius of the filmmakers to go around interviewing people and make this film. It is not the best thing in the world of films, but it is an interesting piece of history. Rock on." 4/5 Pretty good. |

Got down to watch The Clones of Bruce Lee, which was another movie I was looking forward to watching. Here's my review:
"This is as ridiculous as it sounds. A scientist creates three perfect clones of Bruce Lee, and to his credit, they actually resemble Bruce Lee quite well. They know some martial arts, but would never hold a candle to the real thing, Bruce Lee in this case. You can tell that they feel a little amateurish. Amateurish is the right word for this movie. Everything in this movie is sloppy, even for its time. Just look at the picture quality. It looks like absolute ass. That is kind of what you have to expect though when you are watching something that is called The Clones of Bruce Lee. The story is basically non-existent, and what is in there is so incoherent that it never makes sense. You quickly forget that there is a point to the movie though because there are so many fights with Bruce Lee rip-offs. It is amazing to look at at times. There is a part where they use the Rocky theme and it is one of the most surreal things I have ever seen. There is also a part where one of the clones stars in a Bruceploitation movie inside of this Bruceploitation. It is quite meta. So even though it technically is one of the worst movies ever made, it has enough redeeming qualities to be a 2.5/5. Hell, it is never boring at least unless you hate cheesy martial art movies. At least they do not cut every 0.5 seconds when they fight like so many modern movies does." 2.5/5

I'm watching movies from this list daily now. I'm on a roll, here's my review of Rapid Fire:
"Rapid Fire starts of fun and over the top like any good David A. Prior movie should. It is a spectacle to say the least. It gets boring in the middle though, but gets better towards the end. In true Prior fashion it takes itself very seriously, has virtually no budget and has lots of macho moments. The thing about Prior's movies is that if you have seen one of them, you have basically seen them all. There just is not that much about this movie that makes it stand out from the rest of his movies. I think it is one of his weaker ones unfortunately. Still enjoyable and entertaining enough. Fortunately it is short." 2/5 It's alright for the most part.
