Yeah, years ago I went with a friend of mine after she suggested it.

They were doing a horror weekend at the local independent cinema up in Tulsa. Was really cool to get to see it on the big screen, well not like IMAX, but still many times larger than at home.

The theater had to be a great way to see that. I can't remember if I first saw that in the theater or not. I looked it up and it was released the year my daughter was born.

I definitely didn't since it was released the year I was born.

Good way to feel.

And yeah, pets, dogs in your case, can definitely be your babies.

Watched Last Night in Soho as it’s now on HBO Max. Great movie! Acting was superb! Storyline and cinematography were fantastic too.

Loved it. Diana Rigg was impressive (her last role before she died) as Miss Collins.

I thought War of the Worlds with TC was a decent remake.

Oh wait DUNE.
Part 1 equal to the original.

If you still wake up with morning wood, exercise the inner 22-year old in you.

Far better than the original.

That and alien were really really good.

Yes, another great one. A sci-fi/horror film classic.

BMW F22 · 07-05-2022, 11:29 PM

Blue Bayou on HBO was a very good and powerfully acted movie. Damn it was moving. Very much worth checking out.

M5Rick · 07-06-2022, 03:27 AM

Love Me Tender.
Classic film with Confederate outlaws continuing to fight robbing Federates after the Civil war was declared over and introducing Elvis Presley.

DrFerry · 07-06-2022, 06:50 AM

One of the all time greats. Especially at this time of year and this time in history.

Alien sits firmly on top as my favourite movie. It's a masterpiece.

Best scene was with Cornwallis and the British Dragoon Commander talking about giving the Dragoon Commander part of Ohio for his service if they defeat the Colonists with England winning the war. Interesting thought on alternate history if we lost.

DrFerry · 07-06-2022, 07:35 AM

Think about how much they (the 3%) gave to overcome tyranny. In the face of adversity and death, colonists defeated the most advanced army on the planet at that time using unconventional warfare and battlefield tactics invented by farmers and laymen. I live not far from Cowpens where Patriots drew the British forces into the center of the field only to close ranks on their sides - and with the support of cavalry - encircling the British troops (which had never been done before) and led to the Colonials being victorious.

Agree, tough call.

The original was, um, unique... yet, on some level, it really works for me.
The remake was pretty true to the original, yet somewhat more mainstream.

Both great - in different ways.

Can't wait for the second half.

Liked them both. And there was so much time between the original and the remake that for me they stand on their own.

Wife and I watched The Lost City streaming on Paramount the other night....I wanted to like it so much more, especially with the reviews. But we thought it stunk, actually.
