Just for Father Goose, I might watch his movie tonight. :)

My grandma has it loaded in her digital collection. :woot:

I wasn't even aware of this movie but had to order it once I read some reviews of it.

I also ordered "Nicholas & Alexandra" as my daughter is becoming quite the history buff and seemed pretty keen to watch this when I described it to her. Definitely one of my favorites.

We watched Robocop yesterday and although not on my top 10 list, I remember being pleasantly surprised when I seen it in the theater back in 1987. I hadn't even hit the play button and my daughter looking up info on her smart phone was asking me if I knew about the remake coming out next year. Huh, nope, didn't know that. Then she asked if I knew they were making a Robocop statue for Detroit. Huh? Really? Sure enough:

Beware of spoilers when you read about it. You don't want to know too much. Maybe better to just rent it (unless that's what you meant by "order").

I avoided that one like the plague, as I was very depressed at the time and already knew the ending. I finally saw it and it was one of the best.

I don't see how they can do it without Peter Weller. For me he was the only thing that made the movie sufferable.

Thanks for the tip there Steve. I just skimmed a couple reviews and that was enough to get me interested. I can't believe I've never heard of it before.

I just watched the "Fall of Eagles" mini-series a few months ago and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. The very first episode was a bit dull, but I really enjoyed the rest of them and learned quite a bit. Patrick Stewart does a great job portraying Lenin.

Is that the one with Tom Baker (aka Doctor Who) as Rasputin? If so, the moment he entered his first scene was where they lost me. I couldn't stop thinking "It's the Doctor!" every time he was onscreen.

Also the fact that I found it unbelievable SLOW up to that point. I was pretty much ready to give up on it anyway. I remember thinking, I know why this movie is so long, it's because it takes forever for anything to happen in it. :O:

Yes, that's the one. I wasn't into Dr. Who back then so I had no idea who Tom Baker was.

And the guy who remembers everything doesn't remember that.

Maybe because I saw it more than ten years before I discovered Doctor Who and haven't seen it since.

Here's a freaky movie that I almost forgot about. I loved it back in the day though I haven't seen it in over 2 decades. I think I got this on DVD
somewhere.:hmmm:

You know, it's funny how personal taste works. I have a friend who says Body Double is one of his all-time favorite movies. I like Craig Wasson, I like Melanie Griffith and Deborah Shelton had just been noticed through a series of TV ads for radio stations around the country, and I really wanted to see her in a movie. No matter how I tried I just couldn't make myself like it. I'm not knocking the movie. My friend has great judgement and in certain circles it's highly praised. It's got to be me, but I just couldn't get into it.

I loved it the first few times I watched it.
However, I had a hard time understanding parts of it, or maybe I should say keeping track of what's going on (sort of like the first time I watched "Slaughterhouse Five").
I remember Craig Wasson was a claustrophobic and was intrigued by a woman who was later brutally murdered, but there were times (maybe due to the editor or director) that I couldn't be certain what was really happening from what might've been a claustrophobic episode for Wasson. I think I'll have to watch it again, my memory seems more vague now that I think about it.
Funny, I loved a lot of the movies from that era, when I remember them in the context of my age in retrospect. There have been a number of those movies that, when I watch them again (for the first time in 20+ years), I find myself thinking: "What was that all about?"

One movie that I really enjoyed and found that few people have heard of it is "Timescape" that came out in 1992 with Jeff Daniels and Ariana Richards both giving great performances. Kind of a different time travelling movie that has tourist visiting famous man-made and natural disasters:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104362/ The full movie is available at youtube for those who might be interested.

It's nice to see Ariana Richards has become quite the accomplished artist:

Instead of Father Goose, I watched most of The Godfather last night because I'd never seen it. I still have to finish it...but it's a great movie. :)

You've never seen The Godfather?:huh:
Great movie. Godfather 2 is even better. Godfather 3, meh.

Have you at least watched "Casino" or "A Bronx Tale"?

My friend Rocky once said Godfather 3 is the only time he knew of that a whole movie was made just so an actor could say a single line.

There's one I didn't like until I read the true story, and found out it was pretty close to the facts. I watched it again and liked it a lot more.
