SWEET! Thank you so much, eyebiter. I finally get the chance to see "The Crazies". Stylistically, It fits right in with NOTLD, Martin, and Dawn. All grainy looking with that french new wave influenced cutting. You're going to like it. It one of my favs.

Thanks for the heads up, I've never seen 'The Crazies'...... TCM actually has it listed as a Comedy if you click on full schedule and then the date, hopefully its not an indication of its quality.... http://www.tcm.com/index.jsp

what a cool double bill. the crazies is an awsome flick.

The Crazies is fun and you can see the style forming in terms of editing and violence that would be used in Dawn shortly after.

Ummm... definately not a comedy, in any sense of the word. I like the film a lot, but I wonder, if it wasnt a GAR film, would I view it in the same way? Guess I'll never know.....

Now that's just crazy. How can they class The Crazies as a comedy? Tis but a typo! There is nothing funny aout the crazies. Before Dawn I dont think GAR believed in comic relief Ummm... definately not a comedy, in any sense of the word. I like the film a lot, but I wonder, if it wasnt a GAR film, would I view it in the same way? Guess I'll never know..... When I saw it as a kid I didnt know who he was and I saw The crazies before I saw Dawn. I knew who he was after that though. It was one of the reasons (That and NOTLD) why I wanted to see Dawn badly. So I think you would've like it. Plus the blood looks great in the Radiation suits

I have never seen The Crazies. Was this a very violent film back in the day. And should I expect to see a censored version on TCM?

[bassman]

I'm not positive, but I don't think it will be edited. Usually when they play movies that late at night/early in the morning, it's unedited. That's my guess, anyway.

TCM does not edit or censor movies EVER! 11AM of 2 AM, if it has tits, there they are. That channel rules. Though they usually dont how tougher films in the afternoon, more production code films. But in the early evening they will show stuff with lots of swear words. Bring on the bllod and guts! Crazies had shooting with prominent blood. But it is not super biolent. There is however a very disturbing scene about half way through (you will know what I mean when you get there) and the opening is pretty hard. Most of the blood is on White Radiation suits.
