Added Valiant.
Also just on a side note I don't believe animation to be a 'genre'. It's a medium in which a film is made and animated films can be any genre, from horror to comedy. Therefore 'animation' itself should not be considered a genre but more of a format.

Well, if your gonna watch the South Park movie you may as well watch Beavis and Butthead: Do America. Juvenile I know, but I still find it hilarious.  :laugh:

How about Kiki's Deliver Serive?  Spirited Away?  I know there are a few more by that director, but I can't remember the titles at the moment.

The Ant Bully
Barnyard
Spongebob Square pants movie
Beowolf
Fly me to the moon
Hoodwinked
Igor
Jimmy Newtron
Resident Evil Degeneration (I wouldn't count it as anime as its CGI)
TMNT


and if your going to watch Plague Dogs, watch the uncut version its funny to see the scene that was cut out.

Are you talking about that shot from above where you see the man after being attacked by the dogs, lots of blood etc? I've seen the uncut version before I think.

Also thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah that's the one Iv'e seen. Although I think I watched it on TV, I'll have to try track down a DVD version somewhere.

Those are both anime films from Studio Ghibli. I stated at the start of the thread that I didn't want anime in this marathon as I would prefer it to be it's own separate marathon.

Seriously, just echoing Achim. You're absolutely right.

Haha trust me an argument is the last thing I want... you know the place hey? :P

By the way on the topic of this marathon I will probably watch my first film for it later this week and was wondering if someone could explain how I get those star icons that are used to rate out of 5. I also notice people change them according to them (aka skulls for horror) and I would really like one to rate with in this marathon. Although I think I would prefer to stick to the old stars more than anything.

You could be really clever, and use an animated star for your scores??

1 =
2 =
3 =
etc etc

can't animate the half mark though  ;D
