Miniature modeling for film had never seen the like before.<br /><br />Glad you're going to check out The Howling, it freaking rocks!

Though I'll have you ...Excellent list, Melissa! Though I'll have you know, A New Hope is never outdated. Ever. The graphics STILL impress me. In fact, if you compare the original and the prequels, I still think the original does a better job with graphics. They look more real because it's an actual world, with actual characters. The prequels just have a bunch of ugly computer animations and flashing lights to distract you from the awful that is the plot. And Yoda looks much better as a puppet. Not like I'm severely angry at the prequels or anything. <br /><br />In other news, Goodfellas are always the shit. I fucking love Liotta. He blows me away every time. And 300 is just plain beautiful. As is LOTR. Fuck it, I'll just say great list and be done with it. Though I have yet to see The Howling, so that is officially on my to-see list.M.

They're fantastic and I just pretty much assume everyone realizes you're a vital contributor. So good job Nebular too!<br /><br />Great list. Some of these I've not seen including "The Howling" and "Silkwood," but I'm ecstatic you including "Goodfellas!" It's one of my favorites as well!<br /><br />I feel "Glory" is an underrated film, so I'm happy you recognized its greatness. Of course, I expected to see "New Hope," "LOTR," and "300" as they're all terrific. <br /><br />Also, great choice with "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

Three of your picks ("LOTR Trilogy", "300" and "Aliens" are in my "Dirty Dozen" list as well ;) Haven't seen "Arsenic and Old Lace", "Romeo and Juliet", and "Silkwood", but I absolutely love "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "The Howling", "Glory" and "Goodfellas". I prefer "The Empire Strikes Back" over "New Hope", but the latter is still incredible. Don't remember a thing from "Mississippi Burning". LOL. :)<br /><br />I expect many, many comments for this wonderful guest post! Thank you, Mel!
