Classic horror takes on a classic war film.

Tie #7:Wild Geese (Canvey) v Halloween (Shrimper)

Loved Halloween, but everything about The Wild Geese was brilliant. Soundtrack, cheesy lines and the best of veteran British actors. Burton, Moore, Harris & Granger what a cast. Plus some of the best bit part or tv actors such as Ronald Fraser, Percy Herbert, Patrick Allen, Barry Foster & Kenneth Griffith.
I loved Frank Finlay as an irascible & intemerant Irish priest, who declared that the mercenary band were all a bunch of godless murdering heathens. Which prompted the response from Sean Finn (Moore) "What a moving valediction".
Great stuff vote Wild Geese.

You could argue the same for Halloween - it has the best horror film soundtrack bar none, Donald Pleasence superbly holding the whole thing together, and more than its fair share of brilliantly cheesey lines for a film with so little dialogue...
WYNN: Sam, Haddonfield is a hundred and fifty miles from here. How could he get there? He can't drive.
LOOMIS: He was doing all right last night. Maybe somebody around here gave him lessons.
LOOMIS: Anybody live here?
BRACKETT: Not since 1963, since it happened. Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted.
LOOMIS: They may be right.
LOOMIS: I met this six-year-old boy with a blank, cold emotionless face, and the blackest of eyes... the Devil's eyes.
LOOMIS: Death has arrived in your little town, sheriff. You can ignore it, or you can help me stop it.
LAURIE: It WAS the bogyman...
LOOMIS: As a matter of fact it was.
I'd struggle to think of 3 films I love more than Halloween.

I'm not a humourous man Mr Faulkner.
I forgot to mention the part of RSM Sandy Young played by Jack Watson -
"Get up you ****ing abortion"
"I can't sarge I'm dead"
Cue a bullet about an inch from his left ear and the bloke is running like Linford Christie.
