Star Wars: A New Hope (1977). The absolute original theatrical version without even the ANH subtitle. As one of my all time favorites, it was good to see it again (what's a few hundred viewings anyway?)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Another of my top faves. Might as well hit the classics, and these movies are as classic as it gets.

On VHS? That's the only way to get it to my knowledge.

It's on the dvd/comic book pack, on the Bonus Features disc. 

Lots of nice goodies in there!

A little multimedia packaging certainly does no harm. Good way to get some classic material out there too!

As for the latest movie I watched...

Belle (2021) from Mamoru Hosoda, who brought us The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars among other nice anime features. Belle is an interesting amalgam of the Disney Beauty and the Beast (animated) and Hosoda's own Summer Wars. Overall I liked it; it had good characters and beautiful animation. It needed a bit of editing and one more draft of script to streamline and give it a stronger finish. I was just glad to see another movie from Mamoru Hosoda, it seems like it’s been awhile.

The Girl who Leapt Through Time (2008). In keeping with the theme, I went with my favorite Hosoda movie, and wasn't disappointed. Perfect balance of humor. romance and drama in a beautiful summer setting.

Sounds like an awesome movie about Belle, Dreamy. ^^

It's definitely a different take on the character from what we're used to seeing. Very nice though.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - A whacky and endlessly entertaining comedy that lovingly parodies the career of Nic Cage. Pretty sure there's one reference to just about every movie he's been in. 9 out of 10.

The Northman - Everything you could want from a Viking movie and then some. Brutal, gorgeously shot, and not afraid to get into the weirder parts of Norse mythology. 9 out of 10.

Last one I watched was a Norwegian movie called Amundsen, detailing the life and adventures of the eponymous explorer who was the first man to reach the South Pole. It's a very slow film, but the scenery was beautiful and the cinematography was great. If there are any English sub-versions available I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in that kind of thing.

Really want to see this one!

The last movie I watched was The Mothman Prophecies, a horror mystery movie and it was awesome to watch again.

I went to see The Bad Guys today, and I actually really loved it.

I personally love Mr.Snake.

And the best part was I got to watch it late at night in a conference room full of furries as the hosts (who had never seen the film before) were doing a rifftraxs style drinking game, tossing bottles of fireball to the audience and taking requests for donations on the drinking game rules. Somebody proposed they take a shot every time somepony put on or took off their sunglasses. 

They never stood a chance.

Ambulance (2022). Waste of time and money. Okay, so it’s one long car chase, fine. But a car chase that drags on for two hours and 16 minutes?? After a while it lost all interest and became a chore. On top of that I hated every character in it and couldn’t decide whose side I was on. And then of course comes the gratuitous obligatory woke scene tacked onto the movie for absolutely no reason whatsoever and only served to alienate half the audience. The plot was all over the place and seemed to be written on the back of a cocktail napkin as they filmed. And let’s not overlook the self-consciously gimmicky direction undoubtedly designed to dazzle Michael Bay’s Hollywood contemporaries and earn critical kudos from people who don’t know any better. Fast cuts and cameras flying up, down, in and out at high speed doesn’t make a movie more exciting; it makes it a freakin’ headache. This movie sucked, plain and simple.

The last movie I watched was Who Framed Roger Rabbit, an absolute classic that’s still amazing to watch and watch over and over again.

[Patty Thundersnow 4,163]

Rouge One: A Star Wars story as part of an entire day of watching Star Wars for May 4th.

This whole ass slice of TNT original movie goodness. 

Featuring STING!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - It's messy and uneven, but this is still a wildly entertainment entry in the MCU with strong performances and direction by Sam Raimi. 8.5 out of 10.

[TheRockARooster 50,821]

The last movie I watched was The Land Before Time II : The Great Valley Adventure.

Lawrence Of Arabia (1962)

And then .......

2001, A Space Odyssey (1968)

 

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I watched The Batman with Robert Pattinson, i loved it.

It has less action in it than the previous Batman movies because they focus a lot more on the mystery/detective part of Batman and i thought they did a really good job.

I also watched both the Onechanbara Movies and i must say the first one was actually really accurate to the first game mostly and it was enjoyable, it was exactly as over the top and ridiculous as the game.

The second movie was a bit on the more cheaper end, it looked worse and there were only a few good fight scenes, you really notice the lack of a budget. However, they still portrayed some of the characters even more closely to their game counterparts, so i can at least give them credit for that.

Jurassic Park II — The Lost World (1997)

"What do you need?"

"A rope."

"Anything else?"

"Three cheese burgers with everything."

"No onions on mine."

The Lost City (2022). It was okay. It reminded me a lot of the ‘Romancing the Stone’ movies in content and general quality. Sadly some of the dialog that trickles through can be pretty stupid when they throw everything, including pre-established board room opinions, at the audience. Otherwise I liked the sense of fun and adventure, and the cast was good too.

Rambo: Last Blood (2019). I liked it because I like Rambo and nobody kicks ass better. But this and the previous ‘Rambo’ (2008) lack the feeling of the first three movies which had more of a comic book super-soldier vs the badguys vibe rather than a somber examination of the atrocities of the world. I know these things have their place as a motive for the character but I miss the different sense of movies from the 1980s and ‘90s which focused more on pure entertainment. That being said, I like Rambo: Last Blood very much and wish they’d have given it a higher budget befitting such a series. I was in a bad mood when I watched it so it did have a certain cathartic aspect to it as well.

2000 Mules (2022). No comment necessary. It speaks for itself perfectly, although it could go a LOT further rather than focusing on just one out of many aspects of the case.

Wow, I haven't heard Romancing The Stone mentioned in such a long time.

I love that movie.

Ford v Ferrari (2019). It’s an interesting story based on true events, told in an entertaining way without gimmicks. It takes its time and tells its story intelligently, even though at 2 hours and 32 minutes it could probably be trimmed down a bit, but I liked it anyway. The scenery is pretty and if you’re into cars its perfect (I’m not really into cars but it still held my interest).
