April 1st is April Fool's Day-this informal holiday is celebrated in various countries around the world where it is marked by the commission of pranks and practical jokes in order to commemorate the holiday. With April Fool's Day in mind, the theme for today will be films with pranks, prank calls and pranksters-enjoy!
1 Carrie (1976) Director Brian De Palma
A shy girl with telekinetic powers (Sissy Spacek)gets pushed too far after she is the recipient of an evil prank at her high school graduation-Spacek was nominated for an Oscar for her performance, and Piper Laurie was also nominated for an Academy Award for her eerie portrayal of abusive mother...
2 The Dark Knight (2008) Director Christopher Nolan
Batman (Christian Bale) is forced to contend with super villain known as the "Joker" (Heath Ledger) whose eerie psychotic antics threaten to bring down a whole city-Ledger is creepy in his portrayal which won him a Best Actor Oscar...
3 Scream (1996) Director Wes Craven
Graphic film which pokes fun at typical teen horror movies; plot revolves around innocent girl (Neve Campbell) who is harassed by prank calls and masked stranger who is also reeking havoc on the teenagers in her small town...
4 April Fool's Day (1986) Director Fred Walton
Eighties slasher film about group of college students who meet their demise in various ways over the April Fool's Day Weekend-only for fans of eighties slasher flicks...
