Welcome to the Loner Comics blog!
In today’s comic we rent a bunch of movies. Here are the five best movies to watch in a row.
In This Order:
1) Drumline
2) The Hole
3) The Ring.
4) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
5) All I Wanna Do (Also released as “The Hairy Bird”)
Accompany with the normal movie food (nachos, cookie dough, Diet Dr. Pepper). The order is very important. I like to begin and end with pieces from exceptional genres such as marching band and boarding school antics. Put the scary movie at the center of your lineup, with a strong lead-in like The Hole. Always follow horror with Star Trek. It’s a formula I guarantee.
Hey readers, what do you think are the best movies to watch in a row? Let me know in the comments section. Whoever has the best combo wins a prize!

I think the order for any ecclectic collection of films should be determined by random hat draw, otherwise that list will do.
The 1-2 of popcorn and kettle corn (mmmm) is always great, but lets not forget a healthy amount of Reeses Pieces!
And for the record, Star Trek IV (with the whales) is not only my favorite of the Star Trek films but I think it’s the best of the Star Trek films. Directed by Leonard Nimoy too! How can you not love the message of “Save the whales in case aliens come to f*ck you up!”
A plate (or two) of assorted cheese and crackers also makes for an excellent movie snack.
Thanks, The Mountain! I’ll test out your combo as soon as I can find a copy of Darby O’Gill (might be a challenge).
Looks like you’re the man to beat….
I hope it won’t be too difficult, the whole list hinges on the turn of cinematic direction that is 50s Disney live action semi-horror Irish folklore!

Zardoz hoorah! Everyone loves Sean Connery with a Tom Selleck moustache and suspender bandoliers!
Josiah, wow, very bold lineup. I’m impressed.
And thank you Mystery Guest, for a very intriguing combo. Can’t wait to try it out!
Maggie-
just found your blog off of Rookie, I loooved your article!! It was like rubbish, but the kind of rubbish that I totally understand. Does that sort of make sense? I hope life is getting better and that your blood stained cash is still valid
Hey Marylin, thanks for dropping by! For a long time I wished my name was Marylin because I loved The Munsters. Glad I could provide some understadable rubbish for you!
1. Harold and Maude
2. Carrie
3. Brick
4. Romeo and Juliet (with clare danes and leo dicaprio)
5. SLC Punk!
Mostly teenage stuff but what else would you expect from a seventeen year old movie lover? I highly recommend Brick to anyone who hasn’t seen it- great characters (including Joseph Gordon Levitt) and a noir like mystery plot. Plus it’s on netflix to watch instantly! 😀 I think my list is bordering on depressing but at least they’re all movies I love.
Hey Serafina- NICE movie ensemble! Very intelligent and moody. Plus, your lineup is like a 10-hour color show: muted seventies hues, then red accents for Carrie, super dark for Brick and then super saturated for R+J! (I haven’t seen SLC Punk but I imagine wild hair colors are involved.) I’ll definitely be watching this.
As a huge fan of white tea, The Mountain approves (I think I should say that more often).
Serafina’s got a great list, and I need to check out SLC Punk. I went to boarding school in Utah for a few years, and heard about it from one of the Mormon student’s mom. She wasn’t fond of it, thus I was interested (as much as I love the woman).
Salt Lake City (or SLUT) is a neat place, very upbeat with a great underground punk and alternative scene and a surprisingly popular and active rave community, from what I understand. I’m really excited to watch to film now.
Thanks for your selection Maggie! I definitely do have a more jovial, adventuring sort of list. Suits me well, and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Shoot me an email and I’ll give you some other contact info, North Carolina is a little more than down the road for me.
hey The Mountain! I sent you an email but it may have landed in your spam folder since it contained words like “winner” and “prize”. Same to you, Serafina
great prizes! dang, I wish I had won – dang, I wish I had entered. can’t win if you don’t play . . . .
