When the first Scream film hit theaters it rocked the notion of horror movies on its side.

(Nathan M Rose) 4/7/2011 4:16 PM EDT Back in 1981, an eclectic movie, entitled Arthur, was unleashed on the unsuspecting public, starting Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, and John Gielgud.

(Chris Rebholz) 3/21/2011 10:23 AM EDT Paul is a somewhat offbeat comedy about a laid back alien who enlists the help of two enthusiastic geeky fan boys so he can return home. Sound familiar? It should because at the heart of this movie is a love of all things science fiction and alien.The film stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Graeme Willy and Clive Gollings, two very innocent and lov...
