Stones, apples, fireworks, cans, abuse..............just about anything really. We used to have a competition to see if we could get an apple through the window of a moving train when they had the old slam door slide window trains.
When I was a young man of course, not now I've been fucking civilised.

I'd say Fascination as a start. It probably hits all of his good notes and is pretty good for "I like this/do not like this" litmus, as once in Rollins world, its difficult to get out :)
Shiver of the Vampires is the stone cold classic, but more typical "euro horror"
Iron Rose is a masterpiece, def his high moment for me. Stunning work.

I still go through the listings, but only for a couple of particular channels now. Rest of it finding out about and then finding on the 'tube or a DVD.
London Live, suprisingly, show all manner of great British oddities and rare films amongst the utter shit they usually show. Talking Pictures TV - finally managed to get a copy of the 1948 version of Casbah from them. Had been after that for YEARS.

When I started to collect movies you had to
search through endless 2nd hand shops to find what you wanted and felt that you had earned the pleasure of watching and experiencing what you had discovered (see also record collecting)
Add to this - scan the telly listings to dig out something rare that was being shown at an obscene hour!

Any Rollin fans here?
@Poetic - my wife loves Fallen Angels. Or did, as she's got a poster of it in her old room at her mums. I've never seen it.
Many Eastern favourites. Current #1 is Mosquito on the Tenth Floor which is fuckin' amazing film.

Snowblood is excellent, as are most things with Meiko Kaji in. Her albums are alright too.
I went to the Godzilla exhibiton in Nagoya last year. Absolutely fell in love with the GOJIRA 1985 poster they had, so bought some bits and pieces with it on (oddly, the gift shop was in the middle of the exhibition) then a bit later they had the original oil painting which was about 8'X6' on the wall. I freaked the absolute fuck out!
Got home that night, found that there was a copy online, so promptly announced I was disappearing with some cans. Godzilla destroying 1985 Neo Tokyo!
