| 910.4 | Flicks I've liked well enough to buy the tapes | MOSAIC::TARBET | | Tue Dec 26 1989 14:51 | 15 |
| The "Star Wars" trilogy for class-act technology...and Princess Leia
"Indiana Jones and..." for beautifully updating the 30s serial
Disney's "Alice In Wonderland" for the CC, mostly
"Witness" for the evocative portrayal of Amish life
"Bedknobs And Broomsticks" for great fun and dynamite animation
Clint Eastwood's "Any Which Way" duo for its easy-going cliches
"Aliens" for the strong characterisations of women!
"The Frisco Kid" for low-key, kindly humor
"True Grit" for a period recreation and an ending better than the book.
"The Karate Kid" for zen and an upbeat story
"The Russians Are Coming!" for a *beautiful* ending
"Miracle on 34th Street" because I still really want to believe.
"Seven Samurai" for individual characterisation
"Dingaka" for beautiful music...albeit a racist story
"Magic Boy" for being (to my western eyes) superbly japanese.

Maggie and Lorna, "Witness" also is on my favorite list...
It has arguably one of the most intensely suspenseful
movie scenes I've experienced : the bathroom scene at
the beginning of the movie where the Amish boy Samuel
"witnesses" the murder and how he subsequently evades
being discovered.
Doctah, "No Way Out" impressed me for having a rare
truly-shocker ending and for a well-done (IMHO)
sex scene in the limo after Kevin Costner asked to be
taken on a tour of the monuments :-].
Lisa G., I thought I would be the only person in the world
to get a kick out of that very *weird* video, " Tampopo".
If you're looking for something *very* different to rent, this
is definitely it!

| 910.20 | I would stop almost anything to watch... | GEMVAX::CICCOLINI | | Thu Dec 28 1989 14:28 | 30 |
| The Boys in the Band - the most wonderful, sensitive and genuine
portrayal of male homosexualilty I have ever seen. Have seen it
about 12 times and would change my plans to see it again.
Rain Man - only twice, two days in a row.
Easy Rider - 15 times over the years.
Windwalker - a hauntingly beautiful film.
Desperately Seeking Susan - Madonna can't sing, but she's charismatic.
A Man Called Horse - only twice. Pity.
Little Big Man - 5,6 times. A masterpiece. ("You want to eat?")
Man in the Wilderness - 3 times
Jeremiah Johnson - 3 times
Midnight Cowboy - 3,4 times ("You're the only one, Joe")
Cat People - 3 times. Decadence and a good blood and guts scene.
Cuckoo's Nest - the movie, the book, the play - it's brilliant.
The Hunger - classic, beautifully photographed decadence; it stars two
of the most photogenic people in the world - Catherine
Deneuve and David Bowie. Yeow! ("Are you making a
pass at me, Mrs Blaylock?")

| Re .18, Joe, *you* like "anything with Marilyn Chambers"!!! I'm
shocked! :-) Maybe "all men are scum" :-)! (That's what you told
me, right?) :-) I fell asleep during one of her movies at a party
once.
Re Nancy & "Witness," I think it also has one of the most romantic
scenes of all time, when Harrison Ford and Kelly McGinnis (?) start
dancing in the barn. *sigh* (I loved it)
I also like "Desert Hearts" and "Something Wild," both mentioned
by others.
Two others I enjoyed a lot were "Desert Bloom" and "My American
Cousin."

Pam, I also liked "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" for it's portrayal
of slightly unconventional morality.
One on my all time favorite list that no one has mentioned :
"The Breakfast Club " - because it reminds me of my high school
experience that included having friends
from widely varying ethnic groups and

re: "Aliens"
Over Christmas vacation at a party, a pregnant women let me
feel her baby kick. I was kind of weirded out by that, and
said, "Hey, have you ever seen the movie Aliens?"
My sister gave me a look like "I can't believe you said that".
The woman said "Ohhh, gross!"
Ever since then when I see a pregnant woman I think of that
movie with the strange beings crawling out of people's
stomachs.

| 910.34 | Aliens is about right :-) | STAR::BARTH | | Fri Dec 29 1989 17:21 | 9 |
| re: "Aliens" and pregnant women...
Tee hee. I did the same thing to my sister in-law. Although with
her, she was so thin you could *see* the baby kicking and moving
around, which grossed me out. All I could think of was the scene
when the alien burst out. When I said she looked like something
out of "Aliens" everyone had to agree with me. :-)

re: .42 (Jerry Boyajian) -< Movies? Did someone say "Movies"? >-
> Picnic at Hanging Rock
"Picnic at Hanging Rock" was the first Australian movie to
achieve international acclaim. The unique imagery and mounting
suspense surrounding the mysterious disappearance during a picnic
of 3 girls from a French boarding school make this movie one of
my all-time favorites.

I've had two women praise a movie that I just cannot remember the
title to. It's something about "swimming with mermaids" and both
women claimed this was one of the greatest films ever.
Does anyone know the correct title?

thought about renting it a couple of times -- the cover blurbs say it's
great. :-) It's about a quirky, original woman.
