r/moviequestions

What movie is so old the twist has likely been forgotten by the younger generation and so you avoid spoilers for the kids/youth you tell to watch it?

For me it was getting my 11 year old to watch the Terminator franchise with no details between 1 and 2 and watching the realization hit in two that Arnie isn't the same. Also came away with the same thought i did, that the movies are Sarah's story and not John's. This may have been because we skipped from 2 to Dark Fate (3 is bull shit and the in future one and anime we can watch later after i talk her into the Sarah Connor Chronicles)

I was curious if this idea has been done yet...

There are many films in the Groundhog Day genre, but has there ever been one where, every time the day repeats, it is the same day but further into the future? The way we would know is the technology changes, so if it started in the 1960s, by today, there would be social media as opposed to postcards and letter-writing.

the scenes of her being mistaken for a boy (and reacting negatively), or her dressing up like her mom in the mirror, just kinda gave me those vibes

1. Why isn’t Martin Scorsese’s name on the credits? Usually the director’s name should be the last name shown on the credits, except before “dedicated to”, which for this film, is Bernard Herrmann.

2. Wikipedia mentions Travis writing a threatening letter to Palantine, which I don’t remember happening in the movie.
