It's October and with it comes a huge list of epic greatness. In case you haven't read the intro to this thing, I'll be counting down 31 of the greatest Charles Band movies. Keep your internet dials tuned to Mr. Gable's Reality DAILY for new and exciting Charles Band goodness. I began this countdown with TEN Charles Band movies that I have yet to see, then I explored ELEVEN films that personally learned the art of Kick Ass! from Charles Band, and now I present to you, the loyal Reality fans, THE TOP TEN CHARLES BAND MOVIES OF ALL TIME! Let's do this thing...
The 31 Greatest Bad Movies Charles Band Has Ever Produced #1
Before I unveil the #1 greatest Charles Band movie of all time, I wish to say a couple of things. First...thank you all so much to my followers and loyal phantom readers. Although this blog is basically brand new and I have no fucking idea what I'm doing...it's really amazing for me to know that so many of you give two shits about the shit that I talk about here. I never knew that so many cared about horrible movies. Also, thanks to all of you that followed the countdown and a special thanks for those of you that commented. VINCENT! That's 90% you buddy! I fucking love talking nerdy, and I love talking Full Moon. You gave me both. So finally October is done...but I'll be damned if it'll go out with a whimper. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen...The Single Greatest Charles Band Movie Ever Known To Exist...

The Trailer:
Oh Fuck Yes. That's Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt. God dammit this movie is awesome. There's so much Tim Thomerson WIN in this movie that it will nearly make your head explode.
So this movie is all about Tim Thomerson in the future...joined alongside the majority of the cast of Zone Troopers...and Tim...aka JACK (MOTHERFUCKING) DETH...is sent back in time to track down some dude. Along the way he kills lots of Trancers...or zombie dudes. And it's fucking amazing.
If you've read this blog...or this countdown...you know I have a serious hard on for Tim Thomerson. Not in a gay way...well maybe a little...but he is just so fucking awesome. Zone Troopers...Dollman...Trancers 1-6. He is just so powerful and awesome. And this movie, this series, DEFINES who Tim Thomerson is. The ultimate badass superhero.
So for being the most magnificent piece of art that has ever made sweet love to my eyeballs, I give Trancers the NUMBER ONE spot on the 31 greatest Charles Band movies of all time. I hope you have enjoyed this list and everything associated with it. It's been quite the challenge to blog consistently every day to make this happen...and I think it's been a massive success. Please, please...leave comments here or on the summary page letting me know what you think about Trancers...and about the countdown as a whole. Did you learn some things...did you find some ancient forgotten gems...do you have new heroes or favorite movies? I hope in some small way I have effected your movie lives. I love Full Moon and Charles Band...and I think everyone should too.

Hey, thanks for the YouTube video! That is hands down my favorite Tim Burton creation. I'd almost forgotten about it but now I have it bookmarked :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think I've seen bits and pieces of Trancers but never the whole thing. That's okay, as of last night I have yet one more Charles Band movie under my belt.
Trancers rules so hard. I need to do a Trancers Marathon soon.
ReplyDeleteVincent - I saw you had watched Shadowzone...and it didn't sound like there was a lot of pain associated with it so that must mean its pretty awesome! lol
ReplyDeleteG&G - FINALLY...after so so long...I just purchased parts 4 & 5 off Full Moon Direct over the weekend...the only 2 I haven't seen, so I'm thinking of doing a marathon as well. We should due them at the same time, it'd be crazy.
Wait, that's probably a bad idea. The internet may very well explode by the constant bombardment of WIN thrown out there at one time.
"Shadowzone" was not bad. Not bad at all. I wish it had been in the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, but I'm a purist like that.
ReplyDeleteI have SO seen "Trancers." Helen Hunt was 100% outacted by Tim but, honestly, who wouldn't be?
Stacia...you are awesome. My friends are all about the aspect ratios. I love it. You will forever be welcome here.
ReplyDeleteAnd you've seen Trancers. And that is awesome, so you are awesome.
