Surprised at the lukewarm response to STALAG 17 above. It's one of my favorites. I do like that cynical war-comedy genre (M*A*S*H and--especially--Mike Nichols' CATCH-22 are also big favorites).

ARCO (2025): A boy from the future accidentally time-travels to the past--2075, to be exact--where a girl helps him find his way back to his own time. It's two futures for the price of one in this well-paced French kid's animation with lots of thrilling escapes and touching characters. 3.5/5.

Because the Rev very correctly contributed ED WOOD to the conversation, here's another I think has been overlooked - not because it's a personal favorite but because of its historical significance:

QUIZ SHOW (1994)
Directed by the late Robert Redford; starring Ralph Fiennes, Rob Morrow, and John Turturro.

This was an awards-season darling in late '94/early '95, and for many it was their underdog contender against FORREST GUMP and PULP FICTION - a serious, intellectual period drama about Real Issues - yawn! - instead of, uh, whatever those other two movies are about. I saw it in the theater when it was released and liked it - my Dad, an English and sometimes History teacher - loved it and insisted it was the best of those three films. It was nominated for Best Picture (and many other Oscars). I've only seen it once subsequently, maybe in the mid-00s - but I would now agree with my late father that it is (if not better than FG and PF at least) more timely (or timeless) today than those films. As QUIZ SHOW is about media representation, journalistic ethics, propaganda, corporatism, truth, honor, charlatanry, et al........ actually it's extremely relevant today!

WHAT A COOL STORY about reading James Herbert to a newborn!  :thumbup:

I am unclear on my early childhood relationship to THE BLOB but my Mom (who was 11 or 12 when it was released) says she was terrified that it would come under the door while she was in the bathroom and devour her on the toilet.

Other great ones from the era this thread reminded me of: THE USUAL SUSPECTS, ED WOOD (surprised I forgot that one), SHOWGIRLS (so bad it's good category).
