10 Movies That Feature Gigantic Animals Killing People

From Unreality


As far as I’m concerned, movies that feature enormous animals eating, dismembering, eviscerating, disembowling or otherwise destroying human beings is a recipe for success. And I’m talking big animals here, so take your Birds and Bats and Snakes on a Plane and shove ‘em. Not all movies with this formula are mindless — anyone who’s read Moby Dick can tell you that the story runs much deeper than the quest to kill a whale — but even the cruddiest movies where oversized animals treat people like Rosie O’Donnell treats french fries is worth watching. After the jump, take a look at 10 movies where gigantic animals kill people. Sometimes it’s for food, and sometimes it’s for revenge, but whatever the reason, it friggin’ rules

7 years in Tibet...


Watched this film last night....

Brad Pitt, plays the hero mountain climber, a decorated Nazi Stormtrooper and member of the SS, who really doesnt give a monkeys about anyone, and in fact leaves his pregnant wife to seek more glory on his next climb.

Not the greatest film in the world I would say, but the screnery is awe inspiring, and the moments with the Dalai Lama on screen are moving. Good movie...and definitely an interesting and true story. May actually buy the book...

Anyone an expert on Bhuddism?
