Re: Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Gotta pull this out now and again....Gladiator. It's one of the better depictions of ancient Rome at it's peak, the reign of Marcus Aurelius, one of the more capable, decent and less demented of...

What are all the genres?

Re: What are all the genres?

I've kicked around the "neo-noir" genre for a few movies too. Movies later than 1960 or thereabouts don't seem to fit the noir genre and have been deliberately self-conscious genre imitations. ...

Re: i guess it's impossible to buy a non-smart tv today?

I do know of an antiques shop where you can buy an old, glass-tube TV, complete with a non-remote, clunky channel selector and rabbit ears.

Re: What is your favourite zombie movie?

It's a troublesome genre for me, because the term originated in voodoo, but got transmogrified into any sort of humanoid creature. In that light, I guess it's 28 Days Later, which I far prefer to...

Oh yeah....that version. I recall seeing it for the Cushing/Lee cast and it was pretty good. My favorite was the 1939 version with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, but the later one was also good...

Re: the 10 best movies from 1982 are ??

Best is a big word, but, right off the top of my head, ones I remember liking would include a lot of the above.

If I'm going to "buy" it, I want something physical that I hold in my hand. In regard disks, the desk I'm using right now has this big precarious pile of discs on a shelf. It makes me feel good to...

Do you keep a movie list...a list or file of movies you have seen?

I used to. I migrated it from a spreadsheet in Lotus 1-2-3 to Excel to Numbers, kept it up to date and backed it up. It had names, dates, comments, ratings, etc.

Do you do something like this? ...

About 50 in theaters, probably another 50, in full or in part on late-night home video. I can't imagine seeing hundreds since I do leave the house and do other stuff.
