That and Grave of the Fireflies are some of the only movies to make me cry like a baby.
They both have characters that you can really root for.

Something kinda funny is the fact that when you search Your Name on google, this comes up
think you might be a bit wrong there, google
Nomadland (2020).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9770150/
A snapshot in the life of those doing the van dwelling thing. That is to say kit out a van and go travel around in it and live in it.
It is a lifestyle that fascinates me, and possibly one I will adopt at some point.
Watch quite a few videos on it online as it is a somewhat popular thing, especially if you wind in more general adventures. While the film was quite nice and fair with everything I much prefer said online videos. Watch it if you want though as it was just a nicely shot pseudo documentary type deal.
Blame it on Rio (1984)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086973/
Michael Caine and his best mate and their teenage daughters go to Brazil for a holiday as their marriages are either over or on the rocks. Michael Caine ends up sleeping with his mate's daughter (not really a spoiler) and then it all goes from there.
Suffers a bit from being presumably funded by the tourist board of Brazil (every other scene is "check out our cool country") but I am watching a 70s/80s film set somewhere else so I can't say I expected anything else and it is not like it does not happen today. But otherwise a solid script, solid acting and some themes worth pondering a bit. Still a romantic comedy but if my choices in 1984 were this, All of Me, Sixteen Candles or Romancing the Stone then this every time as there is actually something to this.

Jaws - The Revenge (1987)
(DVD Version)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws:_The_Revenge
The most "exciting" Part was this Picture:
For me on the PAL Video it was on Postion 1h23min26sec (right after the Scene with Brody´s Shooting / Ellen is screaming and impaling the Shark).You maybe need to Frame by Frame search.It is only 2 Frames long.

Never actually saw any of the Jaws sequels. I was also watching killer creature films. In my case
Arachnophobia (1990)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099052/
Not quite pure 70s cheese a la the Q Winged Serpent I saw a while back (or if I must do spiders then Kingdom of the Spiders, though it has been a very long time since I saw that), and not quite the more modern stuff a la 8 legged freaks and ultimately about as late 80s/early 90s a film as you are ever going to see -- if you can picture a trailer before a VCR using lines like "in a world" then that, so much that. Plot is killer spiders vs small town America, don't really want to spoil it as I am not going to say don't do it.
I actually had a good time. All pretty well acted, mostly put together (nail guns are not guns and while I maintain there is such a thing as a barking spider a shrieking one is new), setup and payoff is a thing people did, actually something like suspense, not afraid to kill people off...
Could have used a proper rating rather than the still yet to be neutered PG (I saw it was directed by Frank Marshall, I reckon Neil Marshall would have been one to see here) but it was not as neutered as the PG13 horror/action efforts today.
Don't know that I would particularly suggest anybody go back and watch it now, and most certainly not advised for anybody actually with arachnophobia, but if it is an option then you could have a good time"] a shrieking one is new), setup and payoff is a thing people did, actually something like suspense, not afraid to kill people off...

I saw some reviews of that and it did not look good.
That said have there been any good continuation zombie sequels years after the originals? Or indeed have zombie sequels in general really been worth it?
For the Romero stuff then I suppose Land was not the worst thing, though a far cry from the original three. The less said about Diary and and Survival of the better. It feels wrong to even note the non Dawn remakes in this bit as well, even if I can sort of appreciate the Tom Savini Night of the Living Dead remake (have not seen the blu ray either).
Rec is probably too short to really qualify there but could go for reasonable sequels.
Plaga Zombie I saw got a sequel last year but have not seen yet. The general lack of reviews probably says most of what I need to know though.
I am going to count Resident Evil in this as it is the better part of 15 years and I would probably say maybe consider the first two, and best bits of the third.
Return of the Living Dead?
Do I even dare try to make sense of the Zombi series and its mess of a... I don't want to say timeline but for others watching Terminator has not got shit on this. Even Street Fighter sequels would take less time to map out.
I reckon I can just about squeak in Zombieland to this, if only because it fits my narrative and I want to bash on it again.
Reel Zombies might not have been the worst thing out there either (especially given Zombie Night 2: Awakening) but given all of them were out within 5 years then I am not counting it in the decades later thing.
I see Zak Snyder is returning this year for a sequel to the Dawn remake (that I can actually quite appreciate still) so maybe there is a possibility.
I also see Yoroi Samurai Zombie was written by the guy that did Versus (Japanese one, one of my favourite zombie films in general) so I guess I know what I will be trying to find now.
Yes,my Lady.
Sidenote:
I thought,I found it on Amazon Prime 2 Hours ago and bought the Movie "Trick´r Treat" (4 Euros)...
But it was not the correct Movie....
Except Trick 'r Treat is an effing modern classic and I'd say even far better than Trick or Treat (the latter of which I LOVED in my youth, but don't feel it stands the test of time). Your money was certainly not wasted whatsoever. The movie has a HUGE cult following. In fact, Scream Factory released a Collector's Edition with a new 2K scan a few years back.

Thank you for your "Review".
I was honestly "shocked" in that Moment I bought it,so I did not watched it until today.
I hope it is,except the Factor "German Synchronisation".....but I will watch it,for sure.
(I have paid for the Movie...........

What does German Synchronization mean? For the love of God I hope it doesn't have a German overdub instead of the original English.

Let me check please.....
Yep,it is german.
But,surprise,english is also included.Great.
Can't believe I'm saying this but it was actually good.
If you're a Mortal Kombat fan then you will absolutely love it.
Could not find the samurai film mentioned in the last post
Final Girl (2015)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2124787/
Some seemed to really dislike this. It is by no means a great film but I am struggling to get to the level of dislike.
Anyway young orphan girl with certain talents gets whisked away to become an assassin. We see some of that and then she gets sent in for the final training mission (timeline wise this is 1950s America, though that matters little beyond a couple of sets, musical choices and cars). In this case a group of 18 or so year olds has taken to hunting the greatest prey of all (humans in case you were unaware) and she goes in as bait.
So very far from the best young girl becomes assassin thing I have ever seen and I think we are just supposed to take the woods being lit up at night (though cinematography was more than passable here). That said I actually kind of bought her as capable of hurting someone, she kind of plays to the size difference, she does take a kicking and some injuries beyond the token "I am hard, I am putting back in a dislocated ?/removing a piercing injury". This is something many far higher budget efforts seem to fail completely at so I suppose they get points for that one.
The would be villains were a bit one note and attempts at making a group dynamic and backstory for some of them fell somewhat flat (I appreciate a bit of effort though) but I also bought them as posing a threat.
Writing was not the worst, though sub par to say the least. The outline was probably quite good though.
Would have made for a great setup for a TV series, indeed that effort at turning Nikita into a TV series a while back would be a better choice if you are after this sort of thing (haven't seen Hanna the TV series, the film really bored me senseless though). Might have even done as a small arc for something like a new location and villain of the week TV show a la criminal minds.
Can't even particularly suggest it for fans of the genre (be it "hit girl" or "trains a young assassin") or the lead actors but was also not a real slog to get through either (granted it is 1h20 so eh).
