A surprising number of youngsters today are completely ignorant of their Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 heritage. I'll add Army of Darkness in there also as a good comedy, but the first two are really where it's at.

Let me just say, zombies ain't got shit on demon spirits released from the Necronomicon You'd better have a chainsaw arm to deal with that mess. We could all learn a thing or two from Ash.

These came out at the same time and I have never gotten around to seeing either one. Mayhaps I will read the books first.

I have never seen any of the Phantasm franchise.
Apparently, JJ "I have no ideas of my own" Abrams has something to do with remastering the first and the fifth of these, and they should be released soon.

It's a great and innovative sf classic. The end, I think, is just a trip-out because they didn't know how to wrap it up, like all Mel Brook's movies. Also, you can do the Dark Side of the Moon thing. I think that you start playing it (maybe just side 2) when they say something about the rings of Saturn.

Some german TV channel made a living out of saturday afternoon re-runs of every godzilla movie. Couldn`t tell which one was the original though. But I can tell you: I prefer toy-cars being blown up to any cgi shit they produce nowadays

2 is a bigger budget (but not big-budget) remake of the original. I think that the first one is shorter, too. I didn't know about this when I first saw them in the pre-internet days. Back then, you had to have a subscription to Fangoria to know this crap. If you had to see only one of them, I would go with 2.
