The Thing From Another World (1951)

First I ever watched it. Cool.

Neighbors (1981)

The first I've seen it since it opened in the cinema;  I under-appreciated it then.

I saw that on the telly when I was little. I was scared witless  ???. It's actually an excellent film. Saw it again as an adult, still gave me the creeps. Music by Dimitri Tiomkin.

Aye, between my having become a fan of the John Carpenter remake, and the Tiomkin score, it was high time I watched it!

Hi Karl - a fav of mine! :)  Own the 20th Anniversary BD below - BUT, for those interested in Native American history, I can strongly recommend the documentary narrated by Kevin Costner '500 Nations' - 4 DVDs w/ 8 episodes + a CD-ROM - the CGI recreations of the Native civilizations going back to the Aztecs are just superb.  Dave

Not how I would suggest viewing it.  Kinda sounds like a lazy teacher, too.

The seven per cent solution

I remembered this as kinda cute. Parts of it are, but it really drags near the end, with a silly and extended action hero train chase. Thumbs down.

High Fidelity

One of my all-time, top-ten movies!

Have you seen the TV version? Of course it isn't as good as the movie, but it looks at things from a different direction. For one, Rob is woman. Zoe Kravitz.

Have you read the book? I was actually disappointed by the film mostly because of my fondness for the book which I'd read maybe three times before the movie came out - and because Jack Black is pathologically incapable of understanding that sometimes "less is more".
