[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

why is "Goldfinger" one of the nominees for channel 4's top 100 scary movie and TV moments? it really is!!

top 100 scary moments

[Genrewriter]

The only thing scary about Goldfinger is that blue thing Bond wears in the Miami sequence.

[Dr. Tynan]

No Milton Krest?

[Double-0 Six]

I assume its the laser vs. crotch sequence ... that's pretty scary if you're a bloke!

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

i've just read the gumph on the site and it mentions the famous laser sequence, but come to think of it, that blue thing Bond wears is a lot more scarier. was probably fashionable then, but now slightly suspect...

[Genrewriter]

True, but in the context of the film, calling it scary is a real big stretch. Don't get me wrong, I wince like nobody's business when I watch the scene but it's just not that scary.

I would wear one of those things if I was in Miami Beach in 1964. It was probably very cool back then.

Is anyone going nominate Judd Nelson's performance in "Engtangled?"
That was scary!

[Genrewriter]

Probably, and Connery definitely made it look good.

[Dr. Tynan]

I hate to keep posting this, but no Milton Krest. What's up with the people they asked?

[Genrewriter]

I believe Krest's death was trimmed in the UK so its possible many haven't seen it. Not sure if the scene has been restored or not.

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

i don't think Judd's in there, sorry. check out the site listed above. he was pretty scary in "cabin by the lake" though - and in the sequel, for that matter, but that was probably unintentional..

btw, if anyone watches channel4's 100 scary moments, make a post to the forum cos i want to know what everyone thinks! i bet "psycho" doesn't make it inside the top 10...

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

no milton krest, either...its gory, but maybe not scary. so i don't know what "28 days later" is doing in the poll, its gory but not quite scary enough. Cabin Fever was scarier!!

[Xenobia]

Hey Girl!

When I mentioned Judd Nelson...I was kidding. His performance was scary...but Entangled is not a scary movie. Just a bad one. ;-)

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

yeah, i know (i've seen the film too), i was only joking too! CBTL2 is prob the worst film i've seen, and whats more its one of those "made for TV" fares so that makes it worse!! if u want to see a truly great performance from Judd, then there's always "The Breakfast Club" - phew!

[Kingdom Come]

Is it not the girl covered in Gold? I am watching the programme as I type this and at 22:10 we are at number 70 and so far I have seen nothing that could be termed 'scary' yet. The programme is a hodge podge and is including things that really should not be in there - like commercials!

[Dunph]

My thoughts entirely KC, I haven't seen the laser sequence either, maybe it's on tomorrow. I think the makers of this show have gotten the term 'scary' confused with..err.....laughable. Did anyone else find the Doctor Who credits scary? Me neither. *coughs*

C4 is making 100 Sexiest moments at them moment, be sure to vote for both Dr. No and Die Another Day at www.channel4.com. Presumably for the Andress entrance and Jinx/Bond sex scene respectively.

Did you see that Emily Booth girl being interviewed? Woof.

[Xenobia]

GG: Why did you see Entangled? What possessed you to do that?

Is it the other actor that is in the film?

-- Xenobia

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

yes, i confess it was the sheer Pierce Brosnan value that i watched the film.

actually, i noticed that the laser scene from GF was a nominee for the 100 scary moments and actually didn't feature (or did i miss it?)

[Oddfeld]

A lot of the stuff in there looks dated by todays standards...even "The Exorcist" at the #1 spot.
But its more about how it worked at the time.
I remember some of the commercials from when I was a kid, and hell yeah they freaked me out! :eek:

[Tanger]

The Shining was #1.

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

that surprised me actually; i expected that clip to be in the top 10 at least, but i don't think it deserved to be at no.1. Yes its iconic but for me, Alien was scarier!

[Icarus]

What the heck was the Judderman commercial doing in that? That was so not scary! I didn't think it was, anyway.

[Oddfeld]

Not scary....but disturbing!

(That was defintely an 'eating cheese too late on a night' kinda concept!)

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

the same with Alice Cooper and the Basement Jaxx "where's your head at" music video - the 1970's "lonely water" ad was scarier!
