Just watching the movies was very confusing for me; a lot of things didn't make sense. It wasn't until I read the books that I was able to truly enjoy the story.
#7
Aliens
Made in 1986 - would be all CGI now... to make it in 86 and still have it be brilliant in 2021 is an astounding feat.

As someone who both saw the film and read the book, I would better recommend the book (the movie is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but the book has much more extra topics that are not shown in the movie)

Unpopular opinion. Dorothy was the Villian. Did not listen to her aunt. Killed a woman just standing there. Stole her shoes. Refused to return the shoes to the rightful heir. Murdered said heir. Exposed the person the land has pinned their hopes and dreams on as a fraud. She literally ruined the lives of everyone she encountered. Horrible person

But whatever happened to the lawsuits as memorialized in the Simpsons episode where Homer gets kicked out of so called "All You Can Eat" fish restaurant: Lionel Hutz- "This is the greatest case of false advertising since I sued "The Neverending Story!" Homer : "So, do you think I have a case?" Lionel Hutz : "Mr. Simpson, I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history."

Thank you! I strongly urge people to view this movie. It is certainly slow moving and dated in parts, and you will be asking yourself "what on earth did I just see?!" on multiple occasions. But put your thinking cap on and keep an open mind, and I promise it will be a thrilling film viewing experience that will reward your effort. I hate that this movie is so polarizing! It seems that people divide it into either the "you're stupid for not liking it" or the "soooooooo booooring and pretentious" camps. When honestly, it can be enjoyed on so may levels. If you have not seen it, please watch it and then read an analysis from a reputable film critic that will help explain the movie. And if you have already seen it, now would be a good time to see it again. So let's all watch it this week and meet up here at Bored Panda to discus! And I am sorry, I know this is a TL;DR post for sure. I just love this movie so much and want others to experience its joy and wonder.

"Let's do the time warp again!" But it's even better when you think you're watching the American version, but wind up watching the UK version instead my middle school self was traumatized. Yet, I watched horror movies at a very young age and it was this movie that scarred me. I love the movie, now though.

I think my position on this one should be clear! But it really is an excellent film despite what I felt were the odd choices of Alan Parker as the director and Bob Geldof, a definite anti-Pink Floydite, as the lead. I re-watched last year at the beginning of the COVID lockdown and was pleased that it still holds up closing in on 40 years from its 1982 release date. It helps if you are fan of Floyd and the LP. But still well worth seeing even if you are not a fan. I would say it is a flawed and imperfect film, but also thrilling, deep, and beautiful. Overall an excellent film.

In my opinion, this is one of the best classic sci-fi movies. While it's a movie intended for the hippie generation, just like 2001, it not only manages to convey its messages without taking clear sides and offering an answer. It's about environmentalism, but shows how much wrong you can still do while being right. It conveys that there's still a wrong way in how to fight wrong. The special effects aren't the best for the time, but they had a tight budget and managed to build great sets with it. Just a shame that they had to rely on so many artificial plants instead of doing the shots for the domes outside, as originally planned.

How to Steal a Million. Although better known for Sabrina and Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn is utterly charming and funny in this classic comedic crime caper / romance.
