Can a full grown woman truly love a MIDGET?

A Classic horror movie to say the least, one of the few brought out in the early 1900's to compete and win against most movies that came out recently, this year even. No special effects were involved in this movie, just humans with deformities under the direction of fellow side show freak, Tod Browning. Watching the special features on this movie shows alot of information, including that Tod Brown... read more

Freaks is a cult-classic for obvious reasons that tight-rope walks a fine line between exploitation and authentic story-telling. At times it veers too heavily toward sensationalistic self-indulgence or misplaced sympathy/false nobility, while at others it strikes an earnest tone, providing a complex study of human behavior at its best and worst. Anyway you slice it, the film ultimately suffers bec... read more

I have never seen something like it and I'm rather surprised there are no more movies about the subject. After all these years, it remain a weird movie but I consider it positive 'weirdness', in this case. A real classic and a movie you should definitely see if you're a real film lover.

"Directed by Tod Browning LONG before there was a "Glee Club"...there was 'the Circus'. A shocking cult classic that virtually destroyed Browning's career and outraged many viewers upon it's initial release. The early horror masterpiece was subsequently lost and nearly 'forgotten' before it finally resurfaced and gained a niche demographic in the Midnight Movie craze of the '70s. Thankfully so cause this is truly one of the GREATEST movies I've ever seen, it would have been so sad if not a disse"

Year By Year Of My Favorite Flix (94 movies items)

"For anyone who's seen this b/w classic, no explanation is necessary. I will say though, that my favorite scene is when the freaks are menacingly converging upon their victim with the intent of revenge, one member of their brood, the "catepillar" guy, is crawling towards the victim with a knife in his mouth. How the f#ck he's gonna wield his chosen weapon once he reaches his intended target is never indicated, but it really does get the mind going."

" The Ramones - "Pinhead" Gabba Gabba, we accept you! We accept you, one of us! I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for D-U-M-B! Everyone's accusing me! Gabba gabba hey! Gabba gabba hey! The song "Pinhead" and the film "Freaks" are both older and less sophisticated than everything else on this list, but that doesn't mean they aren't resonant and I admire them as much as many more modern classics. I'm sure "Freaks" will always stay in my memory as one of the mo"

"February 3 "I was saying, tonight you must not smoke such a big cigar. Your voice was very bad at tonight's show." "Please, Frieda, don't tell me what I do. When I want a cigar, I smoke a cigar. I want no orders from a woman." Even though this is dated, it is still an interesting movie. I do not consider this a horror movie though."
