Anything before 2002 when I was 10 I wasn’t making my own decisions on what to watch, youngest with two older sisters. Lot of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson, Homeward Bound, One Saturday Morning if I got the TV early Saturdays…
Then when I was 16-22 and really got into movies, I thought it was cool to be a “movie snob” if I went back through the years and only see the Fincher, Aronofsky, Coen stuff
But now I have come to appreciate those in addition to movies that are just stupid and fun… different reasons.
Reason I’m going back to these in particular right now is I just get into kicks with types of movies now when I go back, like 1980s/1990s horrors few-week phase—where I wouldn’t sleep for a week if I were to have watched them as a kid—and so right now I’m into big-budget disaster movies no matter the quality good or bad

Didn't know that Heat was four hours. I got to 1:56, I'll finish the second half probably by 2023 if not later.

Are you watching the director’s cut? Because I don’t think the theatrical release was that long. Maybe 2.5 hours.

Speaking of Heat, it's actually the 2nd time Michael Mann made it.

4 Hours? I never realized it was that long. that movie for me felt pretty much as long as any typical 2 hour movie. anyways, it just showed how great "HEAT" was. never a boring moment unlike freakin Frodo and Samwise Gamgee's ultra-slow mo ending that bored me to death.

what I remembered a lot about Fast Times is how Brad got fired immediately after a disagreement with a Karen, despite him being an Employee of the Month. we encounter a few of these morons everyday.

Deep Impact: 3.2/8
Elijah Wood, Robert Duvall, and Jon Favreau seem like they were finagling around an idea with no script

Fall is nearly upon us...I'm building up my list of horror movies to watch.
I think this year I'll focus on pre-Halloween (197
films. That and sequels I have never seen

I loved it! Watched it on Nick Gas in the early 2000s they’d show all the decade-old Nickelodeon game shows

I'm in the early stages so I'm open to suggestions...my goal is for one movie a day. A goal I will most likely miss
but I'm sure I'll still get to watch plenty.Plus I'm only going to watch movies I haven't seen. I may post the complete list once it's done.
