Evil Dead and why it should be mandatory in schools

So my friend Jon and I love B movies. We sat down last night to watch a classic. Evil Dead. This movie and the following 2 (Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness) are wonderful. Where else can you get gratuituous nudity, bad acting, possesed zombie like people and a moral all in one?
Ash, the hero of our story journeys on a path of self exploration in these movies. If you are ever to be trapped on a deserted island, here's a guy you want with you. In the second movie, this guy without any sterile equipment or pain killers cuts off his own arm!!!! To me, that is pretty badass. This should teach people to stop whining about every little malaise they have and stop clogging up the emergency room with such lowly complaints as tummy aches, rashes and headaches. Always keep it in perspective.

A cool drinking game for these movies. Anyone who has seen them will completely agree with me on this.
Every time Ash gets thrown into a shelf, take a drink. For a log cabin, this place seems to have an inordinate amount of shelves.
Every time someone does something horribly stupid (ie: runs into the haunted woods) you make the stupidest person in the room take a drink.
You can identify the food used for the gross parts? (Keep an eye on the usage of tapioca pudding) you take a drink. It makes an already sweet movie much more entertaining.

I could with my Liberal Arts diploma, tell you the sociological impact of this movie. With a LAD this is about all I can do, but I choose to watch this movie for the sheer joy of it. How often do you see a women get her clothes torn off by a possesed tree?
