Night Seven: Comic Relief

After six (mostly) serious nights we need to let loose and remember to laugh. I’m Gonna Git You Sucka is the first (and best) of the Wayans’ spoofs, which is a parody of blaxploitation movies. Check out this short clip of Antonio Fargas playing a pimp who has just left prison after 20 years, and hasn’t realised that the 70s are over:

I chose Anchorman as it’s a fun movie, but also because I’d love to see the frenzied newsteam battle on the big screen:

Night Eight: Childhood

The Little Mermaid and The Jungle Book are two of my favourite Disney movies from my childhood.

Night Nine: Girl Power

Real Women Have Curves is a really uplifting movie about a girl who is caught between wanting to live by the wishes of her family and wanting to find her own path. During the movie she learns about self-acceptance and romantic love, with the help of the women who work with her at the dress-making factory.

Kinky Boots is about a man who decides to save his family shoemaking business by creating shoewear for drag queens. Chiwetel Ejiofor is amazing as Lola/Simon, the drag queen who shows him the way. I dare you to watch this film and not want to boot up, whether you’re male or female!

Night Ten: Testosterone

Sometimes, when all else fails you have to bring the fight.

Predator is just the ultimate kickbutt movie; a team of commandos headed by Swarzenegger are hunted down by a bloodthirsty alien. At the end, only one man is left to face the predator…

Under Siege: A US battleship which is about to be decommissioned is taken over by terrorists. Only one man can stop them: Casey Ryback, a former Navy SEAL who is the ship’s chef… Classic Seagal.

Night Eleven: Bloodsuckas

I love vampire stories, so I had to have a vamp night.

From Dusk Til Dusk starts off with the focus on a couple of criminals and their abduction of a preacher and his family, then abruptly switches to glorious b-movie splendour as they are attacked by vampires. Here’s Salma Hayek’s seductive dance from the movie:

Blade is the daywalker, the half-human who has all of the strengths of a vampire, and none of the weaknesses, except for the thirst. I love the opening scenes when Blade enters a rave where the vamps are showered in blood, and I still remember how great this scene looked in the cinema way back in 1998:

Night Twelve: Indulgence

I never got to see Dirty Dancing or The Princess Bride at the cinema, as I was only seven years old when they were released. I’d love to relive them on the big screen, as they are a couple of my favourite movies ever.
