Ace in the Hole is a terrific movie, but when it was released it got terrible reviews and it lost a lot of money.
The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame II
I got about halfway through Blue Velvet last night, but was too exhausted to finish. Will watch the rest today.

Didn't know about the second reference.
You delve into the carnival atmosphere of self interest perfectly. I was afraid to get into the story and what transpires without giving away everything - it was just too easy to do.
And yeah, Kirk scrapes up every filthy inch of this character and unleashes it with a rattlesnake's swiftness

double-slapped the wife. That caught ME by complete surprise just as much as it did the wife

Peter Pan (1953)
Other than Tinker Bell I didn't care about any of the characters in Peter Pan and I had expected this to be my favorite classic Disney animated film. Not that I've seen many of them. It wasn't until after I joined MoFo that I watched my very first, Fantasia. Unlike Bambi where I actually cared about the animals and their forest home...with Peter Pan I could care less about Wendy or her brothers...one of who must've been the inspiration for the Harry Potter series of novels.
At a scant 1 hour 17 minutes, there wasn't enough time to include any needed back story as to who Wendy was and why she needed to believe so readily in a fairy tale, aka Peter Pan. I wonder what the original British stage play of 1903 was like? It must have been written for adults as stage plays for children in 1903 were unheard of. There's still a bit of adult musings in this G rated Disney film, mostly apparent in the antics of Tinker Bell. Tinker is a tiny hottie, who's concerned that her hips are too big and is jealous of Wendy to the point of trying to annihilate her. Tinker is quite impish and that was refreshing for what otherwise is a kids movie. I got a kick out of the many different means she took to keep Wendy apart from her crush, Peter.
Well that's four classic Disney animated films I've seen. So far I haven't loved any of them. I'm not a big fan of animated films, though they are a few animated films I've rated 5/5 Spirited Away being my favorite

I love Peter Pan but I can see why it's not thought of as highly as something like Pinocchio or Bambi. Tink is an absolute b****. I love her! The Peter vs Captain Hook is my favorite part of the movie and that clock-ticking Croc, it's always fun when he shines around. Kind of related but this is this years pumpkin carving (one of em at least.)

As much as I love animation, I've never been a fan of Peter Pan. Too heavy on the fantasy and the songs. Too light on the cute animals.

I liked Peter Pan, but like CR, didn’t find much memorable about it either.
Captain Hook and tinker bell are pretty much the highlights.
Oh, and that croc 🐊

There's other versions of the Peter Pan story? I've not seen any, but didn't Robin Williams do one called Hook? and there must be more movie versions out there. Any recommendations anyone?
There’s also a live action 2003 British version. A 2002 sequel to the original, and of course multiple Tinkerbell children films that were direct to dvd.
I have not seen any of them.

There are a whole bunch of film and television versions of Peter Pan, including a silent version from 1924. I've only seen the Disney animated one and Hook, though.
There's also Finding Neverland, about the author J.M. Barrie and his inspiration for the play.

Pan has to be one of the worst adaptations I've seen. Garrett Hedlund gives one of the most boring performances I've seen in awhile.
