Jonah's Film Recommendations
(A few of them)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

Director: Don Siegel

Screenplay: Daniel Mainwaring (Based on the novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney).

To this day, the only film that has given me persistent nightmares. There's nothing more unsettling to me than friends and loved ones suddenly turning on you.

Also, check out the phenomenal remake from 1978, directed by Phillip Kaufman and written by W.D. Richter.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Director: John Carpenter

Screenplay: W.D. Richter (Based on an original screenplay by Gary Goldman and David Z. Weinstein).

He may be an idiot, but damn if Jack Burton isn't cool. I always wanted to be him, but I could never get the hair right.

The Exorcist

Director: William Friedkin

Screenplay: William Peter Blatty (Based on his novel).

This one is obvious, though it should be noted that it did NOT give me nightmares. I didn't sleep at all.

The Fog (1980)

Director: John Carpenter

Screenplay: John Carpenter and Debra Hill

Old school ghost story with a maritime flavor. Awesome score by Carpenter. If you're on the same wavelength, you'll have a good time.

Pump Up the Volume (1990)

Director: Allan Moyle

Screenplay: Allan Moyle

Christian Slater has played two of the coolest characters ever put on film; Clarence Worley from True Romance, and Happy Harry from this film. This is the origin of my love for the Pixies.
