    If they ever make a movie called ‘None Of Them’ it’ll definitely prove very popular in this poll…

    Has anybody seen ‘ The day of the Baby’. It’s about a crazy baby who goes on a murderous rampage. It’s based on a true story.

    @Sean O Cathasaigh: OMG such a good movie! Most original film I’ve seen in ages and a crazy twist at the end. Can’t look at babies the same way again.

    @Sean O Cathasaigh: much prefer the sequel “the gruesome twosome”, especially that bit where ya one gets cornered then it appears with rattler in hand…. still gives me nightmares.

    @Sean O Cathasaigh: The idea of a killer baby formed the plot of ‘It’s Alive’ from 1974. This one was monstrous and deformed and started its rampage in the delivery room. Worth a watch…

    For a really funny movie watch ‘The Greasy Strangler’. It has everything you could want from an off-the-wall classic including a history of Disco! Put me off fried food for life though…
