Ladies and gents, now that we’ve wrapped up our second annual Halloween event, it’s time to start thinking about Event 19! Since November is bracketed by both the October Halloween and December Holiday months, we use this opportunity to show movies that we don’t feel like having to bridge. In other words, tricky little themes. After hearing a large number of suggestions shouted out at the last event, and a few slung in our email box by contributing editors, we’ve compiled the following list for you to choose from. Remember, the films referenced below may not be the final films selected, due to availability:

Action: Girls with Guns

Simple formula that became VERY popular for a while. Take a standard action movie script that nobody wants to film. Change the protagonist’s gender from male to female (and if you can somehow make it work, a prostitute). BAM: Box-Office Gold. Frank Miller would later turn this into a religion in almost all of his creative work.

Yes Madam! (1985): Michelle Yeoh’s 3rd film, and the first that put her on the map. Co-starring Cynthia Rothrock, who would later go on to be a direct-to-video action maven. Plot involves a microfilm, kicking people in the face, oh…and shooting them.

Angel (1984): High school student by day, hooker by night! What’d we tell you? Yeah. They made 3 of these, continuing plotline being she turns out to be a cop or something. Did we mention hookers?

Sci-Fi: Space Western

Yeah that’s right. Space-freakin-cowboys. You love ‘em, we love ‘em, everybody loves ‘em.

Moon Zero Two (1969): Space Salvage. Space Miners. Space Ship Robbers. Space Gun Fights. Space Yee Haw!

Galaxina (1980): Dorothy Stratten is a lifelike, voluptuous android named Galaxina who is assigned to oversee the operations of a deep-space freighter with an incompetent captain. Westernish hi jinks ensue.

Horror: The Blob

The Stuff (1985): Weird yummy goo erupts from the earth and is discovered by a couple of miners. Turned into a profitable foodstuff, it unfortunately turns people into zombies!

The Blob (1988): The original amorphous movie monster in his unoriginal amorphous movie remake! In all honesty, this movie is pretty fucking awesome, what with people getting dissolved in a giant 50-foot blob.
