Cabaret - 1972

Been a bit since I've seen it, but it is just so good. The music tends to be what people remember, but the rise of Nazism is portrayed as a very interesting backdrop.

I remember watching a mini-doc on the historical aspects of the film, and what they got right, and what they got wrong. Alas, it was many years ago. That film is worth watching if only for Joel Grey.

He's fantastic, for sure, but I also think people forget about the rest of the movie. Michael York is really fantastic. The whole subplot with Fritz and Natalia is also extremely important.

Definitely, people are going to remember the Emcee, Sally Bowles, and the Nazi imagery. I didn't 'get' the Fritz and Natalia subplot when I first saw it. It took a second viewing and a bit more historical knowledge to appreciate the film as a whole.

We finished up our MCU rewatch with Spider-Man: Far From Home.  So good.

Then we introduced our 17-year old to City Slickers.  What a fun film.

What did they think? I always worry about introducing people to films like that these days because I worry they'll lose attention or think it's boring. I love those kinds of movies, but they're just not made anymore.

They loved it.  Actually looking forward to seeing the sequel!

I have successfully introduced my kids to all kinds of 80s films, particularly The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, The Princess Bride, Real Genius, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Karate Kid, Dead Poets Society, Top Gun, and Big (probably more as well, plus multiple 90s films as well).  One of their favorite films is Tombstone.

As it should be.  Top 5 MoAT for me.

Your doing the Lord's work here, Hef.   

Hopefully you've covered off all of the spoof/parody movies as well.

Going Clear - The scientology documentary

Still just as crazy and scary as it was when I saw it years ago.

I often enjoy (in the scariest possible way) the Leah Remini docu-series on A&E

[jjrock88]

There’s Something About Mary

Still holds up as a very funny movie and Ben Stiller plays his role to perfection. That zipper scene 😆

[Stadler]

My 19-year-old would watch The Breakfast Club, Dirty Dancing, or Back To The Future any time and at the drop of a hat. 

[jingle.boy]

Tenet.

That was the biggest mind-fuck ever.  Inception was child's play.  This was confusing as shit.  I get the sense that I'd need to watch it at least 4 or 5 more times to 'get' it.  I comprehend most of the overall main-plot, but the time inversion stuff....

How was the cinema experience, Jingle?

[jingle.boy]

We went to the Drive In.  And other than the battery dying and needing a jump, it was fine.  I hadn't been to a drive in in ages.  The audio was crap... the broadcast isn't in surround sound, and a periodic static in the reception.  Plus, FM radio doesn't handle changes in volume very well.  I had to constantly turn the volume up (for dialogue-only scenes) and down (for the action scenes).

Still, decent enough for $7 each.

[King Postwhore]

Wow, Chad, We had no problems with the sound and it comes in great every time we go. Never had static or volume issues.

[chknptpie]

But what about the DUNE teaser?!?

[jingle.boy]

But what about the DUNE teaser?!?

That was my pee break.  And "teaser" was never more appropriate according to what jingle.son told me.

The Last Shark (1981) - I think this image speaks for itself

[jjrock88]

I’ve never heard of the Last Shark but that scene is making me laugh

[ozzy554]

It's more well known for being sued out of theaters because it's a complete Jaws knock off. Low budget Italian cash grab movies are my guilty pleasure.

Also most of the Shark footage from this movie was reused for Jaws 5. I've made no typo there.

[jjrock88]

I’m just reading up on the Last Shark, sounds like there was lawsuits from the Jaws people. Speaking of Jaws, obviously the first one is a cinematic classic; but I’ve always liked part 3 for the extreme cheese factor

Did you wear the red/blue 3D glasses in the theatre like I did?!

[Cool Chris]

I remember when that was such a big deal at the time, but I didn't experience it.

Didn’t see it in the theatre but the 3D for Jaws 3 and Friday the 13th 3D tried hard, but those red/blue glasses are no good

Was the movie in 3D?

I watched the two most recent Jumanji movies last weekend. Those movies were hilarious.

Funny you say that: I saw by accident the last say, 15 minutes of the newest one and my wife and I decided we're going to watch them both (for her, again; I've not seen either) next time we have a quiet night of TV.

Highly recommend both (the first is better, and the second one has at least a few eye-rolling moments).  Karen Gillan is now at the top of my list of alternate universe wives.

Yup, she's moved into my #2 position behind Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny.

Both new Jumanji movies surprised me by how laugh out loud funny they are. I too prefer the 1st one compared to the 2nd but the 2nd one is no slouch either.

Same. I didn't really know what to expect other than "the movie is from an inside the game perspective". I genuinely loved them. I laughed way more than I ever expected to, and I thought the story was surprisingly solid.

I foresee the third one rubbing a lot of people the wrong way because it looks like it's going to be "real world" like the original film.

Well...damn...I don't recall seeing the credits scene until just now.  COOL!!!

Basically at this point I'm in for anything Dwayne Johnson puts out. Some of this stuff has no right being any good, but it's always at least mildly enjoyable. Yes, I'm looking at you Baywatch and Rampage.

[Kotowboy]

The Rock now is like 90s Arnie. His films are no longer the best but he's still got tons of charisma so you don't care.

Baywatch.  That should have been a modern-day Ishtar, but... it wasn't.

You know, I really have to give that guy credit. He was famous as hell before he started acting (in movies), and he decided that after wrestling he wanted to do screen work. He started at the very bottom as far as roles go and made some really crappy stuff along the way, and now I think of him as a legitimate actor. He's not The Rock who got handed movies roles, but a dude who I feel actually worked his way up. And I kind of like the stuff he does. I really enjoyed him in The Run Down.

[soupytwist]

I like The Rock too, seems like a genuine guy to.  On saying that 'Skyscraper' was a dud, even his normal charisma couldn't save that one.  Loved 'Rampage' though, dumb but a lot of fun.

The Run Down is a personal favorite.

The Exorcist 3 (1990): One of my favorite movies. I watched the theatrical cut this time, even with all the studio interference it's still a solid flick with an amazing performance by Brad Dourif. Both cuts are better than the book though.

Deadbeat at Dawn (1988): A fun, low budget, gang action flick. The stunt work is impressive for such an underground production and the violence can be disturbingly realistic at times and over the top at others.
