    How 'bout some Woody Allen films?

    Sleeper (1973)
    Broadway Danny Rose (1984)
    Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
    Radio Days (1987)

    I think they tried to make me endure a Woody Allen film once. The only thing it was good for was making me turn the TV set off and start being productive with my time.

    I think the film was titled "Manhattan" but I could be wrong. It has been some time.

    I assume you are talking about the most recent iteration of The Mummy, the one that got three films made. In my opinion, the third was a fine adventure movie, but not an actual The Mummy movie, if that makes any sense to you. Also, the Rick X Eve chemistry was not really there.

    Yes! I was trying to think of "Brandon Fraser" :D The 3rd one was "OK" but as you point out that chemistry wasn't there.

    ... Never judge a fruit by its skin. Neelix

    I was investigating why Rachel was replaced for Eve's role in the third movie. According to some online source, she didn't want to be cast in a role that protrayed her as some 20 year old dude's mother because that would reflect badly on her own age (and her career). I don't know how true that is.

    But then, in an intervew she mentioned she had scheduling conflicts and could not make it to the movie. So maybe we will never know.

    To be honest, I liked her better in the first Mummy movie. I din't like her look that much in the 2nd film.

    Sometimes they'll say stuff to distract us from the general "celebrity

    One thing that did surprise me in the first 2 were some of the biblical references they made were spot on. They obviously did their research.

    For a while, there was a cable network that showed old shows. Then they strayed from that format. They may be back to it again. TV LAND.

    I wonder if there is a way to stream MeTV from their website?

    Here, I can only get it because it is on our cable. Now that everything is digital, it is difficult to pull in the over the air stations from the
    closest TV markets. If I lived close enough to pull them in, and didn't
    get MeTV on cable, I would try getting a cheap antenna and seeing if I
    could watch it that way.

    There was a British director named Michael Powell who did several fantastic films in the 1940's and 1950's. including "A Matter of Life and Death,"
    which I should have included on my list, and was a big influence on Martin Scorsese.

    He later did a horror movie about a serial peeping tom/killer that was very vivid and somewhat tarnished his career for people who were not as familiar with his earlier work. I have not seen that one.

    Where I got it, it was on a subchannel of the local NBC affiliate.
    I can't get cable TV, their boxes literally blow up on me. I was told recently by a cox tech that all cable companies are going to force streaming soon because they're losing money on renting boxes. With what they charge go figure that one out! More like Roku and Fire are killing them in offerings!

    Peacock for those on Comcrap is free and there's even a link in it where your "cable box" channels appear for live tv. I already have Hulu so I added
    live TV with it and FireTV. Peacock isn't supposed to work with Fire but there is a way to get it to work without cracking Fire.

    I wonder if there is a way to stream MeTV from their website?

    Unless it's fairly new, they don't allow streaming off their website.
    They do tease you with their listing of shows however.

    Are you talking about that movie with Val Kilmer? I don't think the
    movie was worthy of making it to the list, but it had some awesome performances (thand the film was actually quite good)

    Not art, but entertaining nonetheless. I thought Sam Elliot's moustache

    There's an interesting infographic showing how much Godzilla has had to grow during successive movies - to keep up with the size of the Tokyo Skyline!

    The original Godzilla was 164 feet tall, to peer over the top of the tallest buildings in Tokyo in the 1950s.

    The Sound of Music (1965) - I love this film because it reminds me

    My folks took me to see this for my Birthday. I remember being

    I've had the pleasure of going on the "Sound of Music" tour while in Salzburg, Austria, so I've been able to visit many of the places in the movie in real life. The hostel I stayed at screened it daily, and were still doing so when I went back 6 years later.

    Wow. Nice! Have you been to the mountain where the opening scene was shot? ;-)
    Julie sings "The hills are alive, with the sound of music" lol

    I haven't been to the top of it, but I did see it. It's a beautiful part of the world, and from what I see, a lot of it hasn't changed much since the movie. The wall on front of the estate where Maria skips where she first goes to meet the family, the estate itself, the gargoyle like statues that the children dance around, the abbey, the church they got married in, its all still there.

    The mountain they climb over to escape from Austria, in real life, would lead them towards Germany, not Switzerland!

    I don't know that he did anything that other directors like Stanley Kubrick
    did not later do, but he was probably one of the first mainstream directors that did so. I have not seen the movie, so I don't know how bad it is. It could just be disturbing in comparison to his other works and not other
    movies in general.

    A few others have come to mind:

    THX 1138 (1971)
    - although it *is* a bit l-o-o-o-n-g and drawn out in some
    scenes. but the underground chase scene is pretty good, and
    the depiction of androids is clever. I watched it for the first
    time about 7 years ago.

    Time Bandits (1981)

    Big Fish (2003)

    Being There (1979)

    Fracture (2007)
    - a very clever twisty mystery.

    Hello Brian Rogers!

    Another one..

    Run Lola Run (1998)

    - it has a gamer's feel to it (ie, a chance to redo the past
    with all the fun consequences)
    - very high pace
    - german, but with english subtitles (surprising NOT a total
    distraction at all)
    - I found myself watching it a few times just to re-enjoy the
    smooth one-take running shots mixed with animations.

    Time Bandits (1981)

    I liked Fracture. I was rooting by Hopkin's character the whole time. I hate cheaters :-)

    Time Bandits, not so much. It was so-so at best, and while not really bad, I don't know why people
    gives it so much credit. Still I loved the Napoleon part.

    The thing that was special with Final Wars was that it was the 50th anniversary of the series and Toho studios was trying to end production
    of Godzilla thinking it had it's run, however Hollywood had other plans
    still and that in a sense nudged Toho to come out with Shin Godzilla.
    I wonder if they'll do any more.

    The original Godzilla was 164 feet tall, to peer over the top of the tallest buildings in Tokyo in the 1950s.

    You know, I had not even thought about that but, yeah, he must have grown
    quite a bit taller! Most the buildings he stomps in the original are not
    very tall at all.

    On one of my Zilla DVDs they have bonus features of how they made certain scenes of the film. It was pretty interesting to say the least. For example
    the city scenes where 'Zilla is demolishing buildings, they built a model
    city with buildings approximately 3-4' high, and then they have a huge
    fan blowing on the area where Zilla is walking and they sprinkle dust
    in front of the fan so when the building(s) collapse it sort of gives it
    that dry wall dust effect.

    Ocean scenes are in a huge pool with a blue background so they can dub over whatever they wish for it, like a tv weather person on the news. Was sorta
    neat to watch it.

    Of course one can't forget Fast Times at Ridgmont High especially that
    steamy scene with Phoebe Cates *yummy*

    I wonder what ever happened to her. She was dreamy to an '80's teenager. :D

    She married Kevin Kline, had a couple of kids and faded off into the duldrums of motherhood.

    There's a "Making of" video on Disney+ that's very interesting.

    I checked on Disney+ and didn't find anything. The only "making of" I
    see is Frozen II <yuck>. LOL

    I'm just sort of curious as to what you all think are some of the better pre-2020 movies of all time. Go back as far or as little as you wish, list
    a few or just a couple.

    This I hope will be a bit fun :)
