Given my love of editing and cliches, this was probably inevitable: a montage of contemporary horror and suspense cinema's go-to roadblock, non-working cell phones. I'm probably more psychotic than your average horror villain for sifting through this crap and compiling this (66 movies are included!). At the same time, the fact that I couldn't include cellular mishaps in still-in-theaters fare like Jennifer's Body and The Final Destination is killing me. So, you know, at least I'm balanced.

Speaking of horror, have you seen this twisted and absurd thing? The Human Centipede:

Just to reiterate what everyone else has said, this was great.
Sad you didn't include the House on Haunted Hill remakes...cell phones won't work because the house doesn't want them to!

Whenever It Get's Creeper and your cant get a signal, tie your shoes and then run!

Loved it! If only Nancy had used a cell phone instead of a landline in A Nightmare on Elm Street/New Nightmare...

I was very pleased to find this site. This is an intelligent and well written article, you must have put a fair amount of research into writing this.

In the beautiful seasons of spring and autumn riding a bicycle to travel and appreciate the natural views is a wonderful experience.

This other kind of scene where we can find charactes in a situation like that, but I think there are more variations in other dramas.

I've read four and I'm reading through them fast. I hope they do a reprint as I cannot find the other five anywhere. Please reprint them. Having commissioned these specially as a collectable only would be a pity.

Waiting for the movie where the cell phone works.

I didn't find it to be very good though. It was far too jokey in a self-consious sort of way and revealed more in what she was not telling than she does with the stories she chooses to relate, if that makes sense

As an anthro-archaeology geek, of course I'm gonna love this post. I'm no small Herzog fan either. Thanks for this.

Well, the victims get the money, if at a price that might not be worth it like you say.

have often wondered how much righteous outrage against Vietnam there would have been by those bright young college students had there been no draft and they were not threatened with the possibility of maybe ending up over there.

We have become the British Empire and these wars will take us down as a nation. The poor have nothing to lose but it's a real pity the middle class has to go down.

Thank you so much for posting this, and for taking the time to visit Occupy L.A. I have been supporting the Occupy movement since the beginning through social media, but I haven't visited in person yet. I am optimistic and happy about the movement.
