Help!!! (movies)

stitchhead28 · 10-03-2006, 11:26 PM

Okay, in 2 weeks I will be going with some of my friends to Vegas for the weekend. During our stay we have decided to go to a midnight movie showing. The only problem though is that we don't know which one to go see! We love all of them! They are...

-Rocky Horror Picture Show
-The Evil Dead Trilogy
-Tommy
-This is Spinal Tap
-Dr. Strangelove
-Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

(or)

-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Many of these are at the same theater, but we are trying to schedule one so we can have time to do other things on the strip (I mean come on, it's either Cirque du Soleil or another cult film!) So, I need your help, what do you think we should go see?

Oh, man, my vote would be for Rocky Horror Picture Show. Midnight showings of that movie are sheer, interactive entertainment - if you don't mind a whole lot of craziness and shouting at the screen. Although I will warn you that those showings can get very raunchy, if that's something you're concerned about. My second suggestion would be Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. That movie is just too hilarious to pass up!

kairamoon · 10-04-2006, 11:15 AM

I second that lol. Rocky Horror Picture Show all the way. Are these shown at an actual theater? Interesting...lol Dr. Strangelove is also good. Oh and if you go to the Rio they have the free show in the sky so even though you're underage you can go watch that. Have a great time!

TimmyII · 10-04-2006, 01:02 PM

As someone who worked midnight movies at a movie theater, I'd say find something more exciting to do....for goodness sakes, you're in VEGAS!

stitchhead28 · 10-04-2006, 07:32 PM

Thanks everyone for your help! I'm just psyched that I'm going to a midnight showing of a movie in general! (the only midnight movies I've ever seen though are Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest). As for doing something better with my time in Vegas... I'm already doing a bunch of stuff for one weekend! We're leaving Friday late morning and will be there mid-afternoon. After checking in (we're staying at a Mariott Time Share) we are going to head over to the Venician for the wax museum, then over to the Treasure Island for the pirate show. In the early evening we're going to go to the Gameworks, M&M Store and Coke Shop until they close then that night we're going to see the midnight movie. Saturday morning we're going to the Mandalay Bay to go through the acquarium, then by noon be over at Cesar's Palace for lunch and shopping. In the afternoon we're going to see a matinee showing of Penn and Teller. That evening were heading over to New York New York for the roller coaster and shopping area. Then after a quick dinner break we head back over to the Venician (I think) to see the Blue Man Group. Sunday morning we are going to make one final trip up the strip to do anything the group wants to do, then head out to Stateline around mid afternoon. We're then going to spend all of our time at Stateline over at Buffalo Bills, then head for home late afternoon. We'll be back in Rancho late evening. Whew! That's a mouthfull!

Hmmm.. I would say
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
But my all time Favorite B movies to see are "The Earthling" or" Phantom of the Paradise"

stitchhead28 · 10-04-2006, 11:58 PM

OMG! I totally remember watching Phantom of the Paradise when I was a kid! It freaked me out so bad! Not too long ago I remember watching it on AMC and thinking to myself "This is so bad, but so good."

Rachele · 10-05-2006, 12:45 PM

I would definitely have to vote for Rocky Horror. It is so much fun!!! Don't forget your bag of props! :)

Ratty12345 · 10-07-2006, 10:32 AM

Dr. Strangelove...that name rings a bell..I think I saw a trailer on it on one of my DVD's.

Mousekiteer · 10-07-2006, 09:04 PM

You can see Rocky Horror midnight screenings almost anywhere.

Since you're in Vegas, go watch Cirque Du Solei The Beatles LOVE. It's fantastic.

adrianne · 10-08-2006, 06:05 PM

Toss-up between Rocky Horror and Dr Strangelove, but for me, Rocky Horror would win by a nose, just for the fun of the interactivity.

debijeanm · 10-09-2006, 06:45 AM

It's all about Rocky. But I would try to get your hands on one of the videos of the audience participation so that you at least know what to expect, and can participate if you want.

Yeah, otherwise the rest of the audience will call you out as a first-timer and tease you mercilessly It's quite a social event!

Tell_No_Tales · 10-09-2006, 05:34 PM

My vote will be for the evil dead. I love those movies. The last time I went to vegas a couple months ago, the Pirate show was down, and the coke place was no longer there.
