Does anyone else actually prefer Last Crusade to Raiders?
Raiders had the better love interest for sure, but Last Crusade is a much more entertaining watch for me these days.

Even watching them as a kid, they just felt entirely disconnected to me, to the point where it felt weird to me when Vicki Vale was mentioned in Returns. I know part of it is obviously the production design going from Anton Furst to Bo Welch, but I don't think that's it alone.
The Munsters for me.
Matthau actually would have been damn good in the Pacino role, remember him in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three?
For instance:
Forbidden Planet - Star Trek
Stalag 17 - Hogan's Heroes
Bell, Book and Candle - Bewitched
Heaven Can Wait - Quantum Leap
Local Hero - Northern Exposure
Three Men and a Baby - Full House
I asked if people would recommend watching Northern Exposure and that pissed people off for some strange reason, so what is an acceptable thing to post here?
Never seen it but it sounds really good.
Been thinking of checking out the first season at least, should I? Also I work in a hospital.
What a strange movie this is. It really didn't need to be made and unlike its predecessor, it has nothing particularly meaningful or insightful to say. It simply exists as an excuse to spend more time with these characters and get them back out west. And it also clearly wants to have its cake and eat it too regarding Jack Palance, who more or less reprises his role from the original, despite his character having died. The "identical twin" thing is so mind-numbingly forced that it almost sort of works. All that said, it's still a really enjoyable movie with a lot of funny bits.
And would you go see it?
So many comedies depend on the main characters being stupid buffoons (The Pink Panther movies, The Naked Gun, Ernest, Dumb & Dumber for example). What are some where they are actually intelligent people? I know people would probably say Ghostbusters and technically yeah I guess, but functionally they still kind of run around acting like idiots, so I don't think that should count.
Office Space is one that comes to mind for me.
I know it isn’t exactly a remake of the original. I’m not even really sure what it is, but is it good?
I kind of get the impression that he had the right instinct basically splitting it up into E.T. and Poltergeist (and also Gremlins to a lesser extent). From what we know of Night Skies, I think it likely would have been a very overstuffed film.
Any thoughts on this remake? Obviously it isn’t as good as the original nor is it as good as Peter Jackson’s version, but it DOES have Jessica Lange, which is a mark in its favor.

Looking on Amazon, it looks like there’s a lot of different versions of it.
Obviously we'll never know for sure, but I'd say most likely not, it might have been closer though.
Somehow I literally never noticed this until it was pointed out to me.
Just picked up the new Arrow Video release of this. Love this film, what do you think of it?
The twist is so well-known now that it barely qualifies as a twist anymore, but I don't think that makes it any less effective.
