I saw AVALANCHE EXPRESS when I was eleven, I wonder how it holds up today.
Schindler's List (1993). I mean, I have seen it a few times but it's been a while.
The film teaches, moves, and preserves memory, but it asks a lot emotionally. Too much to revisit ever so often.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 1990.
By no means, an Oscar nominated masterpiece. But, fun, enjoyable, and fairly well executed for an independent film based on a weird little comic book. And, the costumes put together by Jim Henson and his company are really neat, and I wish recent films would use that. The two Michael Bay films were CGI and looked garbage.
Been thinking off & on about The World's Fastest Indian.....
This one & Girl On A Motorcycle are probably the only two movies I've scene that really capture the psyche of solo motorcyclists....
Haven't watched the LOTR trilogy in a while.
THE DEATH OF STALIN, just for the fun of it.

Yes, indeed.
Someone gave me a bit of crap regarding me including the trilogy in my book and I asked them where J R R Tolkien was born, they said England and I said Noooo, Bloemfontein, South Africa 😄
Witness (1985) is another I should watch again.
BIG TOP PEEWEE
only saw this once and remember being v. disappointed, in comparison to the first PeeWee film... perhaps time has been kinder

Exactly. I went to see it when it came out, and this is one of those movies that is much better than it has any right to be.

The Candidate
Didn't quite understand it when I was a kid.....
I had absolutely no intention of revisiting Soderbergh's OCEAN'S ELEVEN and THIRTEEN, but they were on at my Mom's house this weekend as I was decorating, and having just mentioned the anti-logical TWELVE in my review of ARABESQUE I didn't change the channel

Bucky is such a good film, it'll blow people's minds to watch it a second time. :wink:

Indeed. Especially at the time it was made, considering we were getting movies like Howard the Duck. I love Howard, but it's not a movie that's well done.

the lesser-known prequel? :)

Only a few months ago, I found out Liam Neeson & Patrick Stewart were in Excalibur.....
Saw it as a kid, & was pretty apathetic about the cast at the time...
The cast of EXCALIBUR were lost upon me at age 5 or 6 (I think Gabriel Byrne is also in there), but I thought it was impressive-looking and cool and even scary at times. I bought a beautiful VHS copy 20-some years ago and that poster/cover art, man, is an art object all its own...! I was so excited when I loaded it up and hit Play....... but... it underwhelmed me. Maybe results will vary. I was hoping for a Tolkein-esque epic spectacle - heck, even something on par with KRULL would've satisfied me. But perhaps John Badham was out of his element here or... under-funded? I don't know. It played out more like Badham's DELIVERANCE than Jackson's LOTR....... whole lotta' white guys splashin' around in the mud for two hours!
