Whats the coolest sounding movie?
I agree The Haunting has some great sound effects. For a snippet of fun, check out the video sequence in the extra features section of The Lawnmower Man. 
The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll
I think one could find disappointments in every era of music, but I also believe there is some very good music from every era. I grew up in the 70's and listened to a lot of 60's music too, some of which was very lame. I love listening to some of ...
