You know, I've never seen Future World, will hunt that down. Westworld is still really impressive. Crichton kind of recycled the story when he did Jurassic Park, to a certain extent. I like the 'rides eat the customers at the theme park' ideas.

I saw Futureworld streaming on Netflix awhile back.

It's funny how "70's" it comes off and feels, but then again, I guess it should, as it was released in 1976.

Definitely not great viewing, but it's nice to take a look back every now and then.

I'm with Danbotha on Bugsy Malone. I still love it and made my kids watch it as well as The Goonies.

One I also can't leave out would be Willow - awesome movie!

Bump my own thread with...

The Day of the Jackal ( the original)


Saw this with a different approach to movies than when I last saw it, but still wonderful.

It wouldn't be made this way now. For example, the detective going after he jackal is not introduced until late on and given little back story, amongst many other variations from today, yet it has a delightful tension to it. Real cat and mouse, what will  happen next. What is modern, in terms of format adherence, is that  the characters are tested, but this is mostly the villain.

Enjoyable to watch.

Revisited "the Untouchables". That scene with the baby carriage in the end -- I realize now how awesome that scene is after learning all these screenwriting rules. That's just just amazing stuff there.

Here's a couple of my favourite TV movies that I've rewatched recently.  They still mostly hold up.

One is Satan's Triangle.




And the other is The Horror at 37000 Feet.



Both are lots of fun.  Enjoy!

Well I learned a harsh lesson in parenting tonight...

I thought I would treat my girls to a movie, one I was brought up on... Watership Down..

After the opening scene with the massacre of rabbits, then one rabbit ripping the fur of another,  a hawk swooping down and grabbing one, another getting caught in a trap with blood pouring from his mouth and another getting shot in the leg... they had enough... Tears streaming from their eyes, they decided to pay their own rabbit a visit, to make sure it was ok.

... and I never even got to Art Garfunkel  singing "Bright eyes" http://www.youtube.com/watchv=zkirtbpz5h4
