Instant classic!!!<br /><br />If any of y'all remember the old Up All Night when they would run old movie clips and redub the voices, Love Planet of the Apes is crying out for that treatment.<br /><br />I must admit, I don't recall if I've ever seen Logan's Run in its entirety. I do remember it ends with a room full of cats? And I read the book so there's that.<br /><br />I have an unwritten list of movies that I'm trying to get in digital form so I'm scanning all the channels during Dish's free preview weekends. I've gotten Soylent Green, Buckaroo Banzai, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Footloose, Risky Business. Still on the look out for Fandango, Wait Until Dark, Butch and Sundance and a few others. BARBARELLA!!! I don't have that movie yet!!! And if you ever come across W C Field's The Bank Dick, it's hilarious!!!<br /><br />(That's no moon, that's a space station).The Prowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047156663144096329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-92014896495459192622015-01-05T18:50:31.899-06:002015-01-05T18:50:31.899-06:00Have never seen "Logan's Run", but h...Have never seen "Logan's Run", but have enjoyed the others!

Star Wars (original trilogy) but especially Empire<br />5. The Godfather<br /><br />Those are all movies I can't resist watching if they happen to on.<br /><br />I liked Butch and Sundance, but I wouldn't consider it a personal all-time fave. I think I've seen it once (maybe twice). And for some reason I never really got into the original Planet of the Apes or Logan's Run movies all that much.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988016825582035390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-70259721951006622672015-01-05T14:20:13.050-06:002015-01-05T14:20:13.050-06:00I think all of the television talk is worthy of a ...I think all of the television talk is worthy of a Saturday spent in further discussion.

(Hmm-- "Get your paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" would take on a whole new, seat-squirming significance, wouldn't it-?)<br /><br />I was remiss in not including RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK in my first round. <br /><br />Also, there are several Laurel & Hardy shorts (NO feature films, though!) that I can just watch on almost a weekly basis. Which is fortunate, since that's what one of our local stations does. When you get to know the boys a bit better, it completely enriches the experience of watching and surrendering to their brilliant work.<br /><br />And, as I've said in the past, if I'm walking past a TV with any episode of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND on. . . I'm done for the duration. I simply cannot get away from it. Lowest common denominator-Belly, that's me.<br /><br />HBHumanbellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-31385344436513411872015-01-05T11:18:26.153-06:002015-01-05T11:18:26.153-06:00Love Planet of the Apes and Logan's Run. They ...Love Planet of the Apes and Logan's Run. They both had an exciting, unusual, and sometimes scary future. Also both dealt with ideas about society and human behavior. Heston was certainly a tougher dude than Michael York, but I'd say York got the better future-babes! <br /><br />I really liked Empire Strikes Back as a kid, and I was the perfect age to see the development of Luke with Yoda. The wisdom aspect of the show stuck with me, along with the thrilling action and special effects. I went to see it in the largest theatre in town, Saturday afternoon matinee, and was so blown away that I stayed to watch it a second time! <br /><br />I've tried to watch Jaws a few times, and find it boring. Butch Cassidy is an entertaining show that I've seen a few times. HB's It's a Wonderful Life is one I enjoy. I just realized the start of my post looks like "Love Planet of the Apes"! That's one I think I don't wanna see. : )<br /><br />I just saw The Imitation Game--excellent telling of a great true story.

Sort of the 'creme of the chicken coop' variety, such as 'Spocks Brain' (which I happen to actually enjoy..), and LIS's 'The Great Vegetable Rebellion'.<br /><br />I'm always game for it.<br /><br />david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-68441161610326456472015-01-05T10:02:59.064-06:002015-01-05T10:02:59.064-06:00ALIEN was the first one I thought of for myself. ...ALIEN was the first one I thought of for myself. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is probably #2. SPIRITED AWAY, definitely (I don't think I ever, ever get tired of that film). After that, I'd have to ponder a bit harder. THE INCREDIBLES and AVENGERS are likely candidates, but haven't quite been around long enough to qualify for me yet. The 1951 CHRISTMAS CAROL (Alistair Simm) is one that sucks me in every time I come across it during the holidays. <br /><br />Y'know-- this topic could also work for old TV shows, couldn't it? If you see an episode, and you just can't quite let it pass by?<br /><br />HBHumanbellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-72608618557551051242015-01-05T08:56:34.358-06:002015-01-05T08:56:34.358-06:00Doug, these are pretty much in line with my favs, ...Doug, these are pretty much in line with my favs, 'cept for Butch and Jaws (haven't seen either yet.., interestingly enough).<br /><br />I'd move Trek:TMP, 2001, Alien and Love Actually in somewhere on the list. david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-20946084587632078262015-01-05T08:30:44.397-06:002015-01-05T08:30:44.397-06:00Doug, one of the things I got my kids to "gif...Doug, one of the things I got my kids to "gift" me this past Christmas was a set of the original 5 ape movies that I found at Sam's for $10 on DVD.
