Titanic did that????? Really? Was it the song? I liked Titanic, but mainly for its explanation and depiction of how the big ship sank, but, beyond that it seemed like mainly a cheesy...

Re: Your favorite sublime, sacred & spiritual films?

Not being much on religion myself, I'd nominate a old-school pot-boiler spectacle, the 1950's Ben Hur. It treated the story as though it was history, did a good job with ancient Romans and had the...

Re: List your favorite Westerns of all time (and why they are)

It's an interesting question. Having grown up on a steady diet of oaters, there came a point when I just could not tolerate another western. I think the last ones I recall seeing, fit right into...

A mid-fan. I do enjoy Price's accent, diction and get a chuckle out of his over the top mannerisms. The world would be more fun with more actors like Price out there bringing us pseudo-patrician...

One of my all time favorites in what might be a genre of one or at least a few...noir-sci-fi-fantasy. I wish the movie had more notoriety. It's oddly timeless in that it doesn't really fit in any...

It went nowhere for me, either as a horror movie OR as a non-genre movie. I seem to recall a lot of press blather about horrified viewers being treated for PTSD or questions about whether the movie...

As a survivor of many horror movies, It was really low on my list. Positive reviews seem to have been written by someone who doesn't see horror movies. I hope a new one is better.

Re: What was the last DVD you bought and why?

The Rear Window. It's an old, now-and-again Hitchcock classic. I love that elaborate alleyway set where the window is, the good music and James Stewart as the laid-up reporter with the camera that...

No....I don't know any more than what shows on Google, which has a $30 disk from Walmart and a bunch of other sketchy offers. I don't know why this one seems like such an elusive release.

The Exorcist seemed like a movie for people who never see horror movies. It really didn't do much for me.

Re: The Exorcist to get a "radical new take" with Mike Flanagan direct

I'm a bit curious, but only a bit. I never liked the old one, so a re-make, do-over, re-thinking, or whatever it is isn't real high on my list.

Yeah, tragic musicians have to try real hard to seem novel, but compared to another franchise re-boot, especially the Mad Max universe, which has been going forever, it should be easy.
