Never saw the movie but I loved the books

@Fibonacci1618 oh man you have to see the sandworm!
And listen to the song by Eon that was sampled from it! Spice!

@Qualia Sounds like you're right. I'm gonna have to find it this weekend then. Thanks for the recommendation and the reminder of a great book. I'll let you know how it turns out if I find it.

@Fibonacci1618 Yes please do!
I'm remiss in having not read the book
But here, there is even a kitty shai hulud in this vid LOL

I have this on cd LOL We used to play the crud out of Eon in my day, way back when.

@Qualia oh man!! You're a rockstar for that !! Just awesome ! Lol ! Talk about intense !! Gotta love the cymatics !

@Fibonacci1618 LOL ☺?
They used to play this at OHMs in Austin... good times!

@Qualia I could see this being a huge hit at the Underground Raves of the time. Houston had warehouses host them. I'm sure I've heard it before but I definitely never saw the vid. Thanks for that!

@Fibonacci1618 Eon did some fantastic stuff too besides this one. You had to be an athlete to keep up with it!
These were the days!

@Qualia Athlete, lol ! Or on "Sports Enhancement " Drugs

I know David Lynch has really hard feelings about how the studio system treated him with "Dune", but there is some really good stuff in the movie. I'm a huge Lynch fan... If anyone hasn't seen the "Twin Peaks: The Return", I'd recommend it also...if you are a Lynch fan.

@Fibonacci1618 idk about the sports enhancement drugs but was known to take a hit of acid here and there. Altho I was a gym rat at the time so naturally on the ceiling .

@Qualia LOL! I was referring to acid, hence the quotation marks! I was trying to be witty by playing off of your comment to needing to be fit to keep up with the beats

Now I have to go back and add "Dune" to my list.

@Kattywampus69 For sure ! I know Kevin has always got his credit for his role but Benicio Del Toro was amazing in this flick !

@Kattywampus69 One of the most underappreciated elements, for sure. Dry and weird.... kinda my favorite type of comedy

@Kattywampus69 I don't know.... Dark comedy to me usually has more of a sinister intent, like the undertones of "Natural Born Killers"

@Kattywampus69 Of course I do, but the comedy didn't spin off of it. The comedy was more charismatic and played off of the eccentricities of the characters more than their intent. IMHO

@Kattywampus69 oh blah blah blah... I enjoyed the exchange. Have a good evening

Also Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me. But i like to go back to the series and burn through..then do movie.

@Dandewine Did you see "Twin Peaks: The Return" yet?

@greyeyed123 i was watching it...not sure where I left off..i should finish( or start over).
Kyle McLaughlin and Laura Dern are awesome.

@greyeyed123 when Laura Dern came on as Dianne I was screaming

@Dandewine There are slow parts, but I don't mind (they kept saying it was a single movie with 18 chapters--which isn't exactly right since several episodes here and there hang together more than others). Some of the best film making Lynch has done is in The Return, and it resonates with everything he has done before, not just Twin Peaks.

It is also quite sad that so many of the actors featured in it died soon after.

@greyeyed123 true on both counts. I couldn't get through eraserhead...but loved Wild at Heart and others that cannot come to my mind. Today was a rough day.

@Dandewine I always expected I would love Eraserhead, but the few opportunities I had to start watching it never saw me finishing the movie.

@Dida I'm surprised you haven't heard of Amelie and Nosferatu, which are both very famous films. The rest are a little less well-known, but highly recommended - especially My Life As A Dog which, in my opinion, is the most perfect film every made.

@Dida That's definitely something else!

Which version?

@Mokvon what?

@hippydog there are 2 versions of the movie. I own both. Even on the 1984 david lynch version there are 2 the theatrical and the 3 hour director's cut. But the 8 hours version made for the syfy channel is a good film as well.

@Mokvon ive seen both. Many times.. i can watch either one.

I cried at the end of that book when I read it in 8th grade. Only recently did I discover the author was a prominent racist (and KKK member) and wrote the book under a pseudonym. Talk about shocked.

@greyeyed123
I didn't know that. My hope is that the author came to their senses when the book was written.

@Holysocks It was apparently originally claimed to be his true life story, but turned out to be a literary fraud.

Oh yes, Master and Commander is brilliant. I started reading the books, which are great, too.

@Pmabz Yeah. I started reading them about 10 years ago after seeing the movie. Although fiction, History Buffs YouTube channel reviewed the movie for its historical accuracy. Good viewing (as is usual with his other movie reviews).

Alien - you quoted her speech to the cat... how could I not know that line? lol

@RavenCT The whole movie is quotable, really.

Stay golden, pony boy.

made for my papa

And the whole country agrees with that! 24 hours of it on Christmas and we watching them all.

@Dandewine Yes IKR...every Christmas lol. ??

I love, love, love the Princess Bride. ?

@patchoullijulie Also a Princess Bride fan...

@DenoPenno I have all the 70s Superman movies. Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me.

@SleeplessInTexas I agree. Most of that series of films was good with plot and production values.

"Fart" in crayon cracks me up every single time.

@greyeyed123 almost everything in the movie cracks me up!

I LOVE The Iron Giant.

@Cabsmom It is wonderful, with a strong plot and frank discussions about death and what it means to be a good person, and implicitly dealing with freewill. And Vin Diesel voices the titular character. What's not to love?

wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him

@Mokvon there are two parts of that movie that really upset me. The rape scene and the scene when the young man that knows the truth is killed.

I love the Red, Red 2 characters!!!!! Are you here to kill me?

Nice list.

wink

Great movie. I think I still have the DVD somewhere.
