I saw AVALANCHE EXPRESS when I was eleven, I wonder how it holds up today.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

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.
Is it October yet?

HappyGilmore

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. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

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.

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.

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
