What are you watching?

[LonelyHiker]

One of my trusty standbys and usually a guaranteed mood lifter, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

My old copy finally died about a month ago, and I had some Amazon points to spend, so I ordered the 40th anniversary Blu Ray edition (no cost) which arrived today..



Some call me...............Tim?

Watching the Democratic Presidential Debate. And being a Democrat since the age of 16, if they do win in 2020, all I see is a one term president. Sure, I went to college, and I still have a student loan. Sure, I would like a single payer health care. But, I just feel I am being bribed to vote for someone, and that is just making me think: maybe I should become a independent

Python never fails for me, either. I think earlier in the thread you mentioned the Three Stooges. That's another one. Watching them smacking, poking and wacking one another never fails to put a smile on my face *bleh The violence is absurd and funny on it's own, but what really seals the deal are the associated sound effects.

"Gentlemen!"

"Who came in?"

I think The Exorcist was also supposedly cursed, one of the sets caught fire and completely burnt down.

This made me LOL 😂

I’m quite enjoying Reverie a sci-fi on Netflix at the moment. Whoever made it is savage though...only one season made 🥺

I'm gonna watch The Stunt Man (1980).

Cameron (Steve Railsback) is a young veteran running from the police. He stumbles onto the set of a World War I movie, where eccentric and autocratic director, Eli Cross (Peter O'Toole), agrees to hide him from the police. Cameron falls in love with Nina Franklin (Barbara Hershey), the film's star, while the production, and the film, blurs the lines between reality and make-believe.

I ended watching Saw 3 instead, I'm not quite right in the head.

Have you seen Hereditary, now that is one strange and creepy film, it starts off slow but by the end all many of weird and unsettling things have happened.

Hereditary ? Mehh this movie was so absurd. I didn't understand anything -.-

The dead grandmother was part of a cult, and in death used her family to resurrect her, I've only seen it once so my description might be a little basic.

I'm so glad someone else didn't like it! It was okay until the last third. I don't know why people like this movie so much!

I've been watching old episodes of Monk. It's a comfort show, always entertaining but a little repetitive.

Fandango (1985)

Best road/coming-of-age movie ever made...an obscure sleeper that is now a cult classic

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this one (and it's easily been over a hundred viewings).....the ending gets me every time..

Honestly, I don't know if movies like this help my depression, or just make it worse....I suppose I'm just a masochist at heart..

Maybe people just have different taste in movies to you, it doesn't make them wrong.

I just thought it was over hyped and everyone seemed else seemed to love it. I was just glad someone else didn't think it lived up to the hype. I suspect it's me with the bad taste! :wow:

People are allowed to like things, and hype is basically the way every film is promoted whether its good or bad.

It's just my opinion of the movie, I don't mean anything by it. Everyone has different taste of course. I just thought that it wasn't as good as the reviews I read. It had some great stuff, the shots with the doll house, the creepy youngest child etc. I just thought that the last third of the movie didn't live up to the premise, but a lot of horror films for me are like that.
I know I'm in the minority with my opinion of it and I was just happy to find someone else who shared that opinion. There's tons of stuff I like that I know most people don't and vice versa.
I'm not saying it was a bad film, far from it, it just wasn't for my taste.

Hey @Lewis83 hope I haven't come across as a jerk. Just my thoughts on the film. I wasn't trying to start anything.
