Forbidden Planet I have the DVD and I love it, from the pants scenery to the unbelievable robot ( wonderful ). The special effects were really bad, but it had a plot and wasn't PC. I saw it as a child and it stayed in my mind. It may not be the best movie ever made, but it lifted my imagination to the stars. I like movies that leave me happy, not depressed, so almost everything by Studio Ghibli are my favorites of all time. I'm just sad it took so long for me to discover them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having the DVD but did see it as child, and when it was aired again later I recorded it to tape. When I watched it again, it felt a bit different as I had grown up so the eyes more focused on the effects and indeed compared with the years of production it was low. But still got the warm feeling from the 'remembrance'. Will always love that robot with antennas in his head. Funny thing is that Leslie Nielsen has a role in that film, which I didn't knew. I start like him and movies he is playing and only to knew many years later when internet was there and I first saw the cover that he DID play in Forbidden Planet. 6 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said: I like movies that leave me happy, not depressed, so almost everything by Studio Ghibli are my favorites of all time.

I had Howls Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away when I start looking for the makers and then found out about Studio Ghibli. Great content!

VHS basically allowed us to rent movies to watch, or record movies on TV to watch at a later time. Given porn was not allowed on free to air TV, the porn industry took off when VHS arrived. I seem to remember Top Gun being one of the most rented movies back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be in Singapore in the 70s. They were illegal so I had to ask a taxi driver and he took me to a building site where a few of us watched some. I only remember one involving an elephant.

It is one of the greatest tragedies in the world that the second Karate Kid was ever made, I still get upset just thinking about it) They shot scenes for "Karate Kid-3" at the local high school where I lived (Brookline, Ma) My nephew who was a student at the HS got a bit part. When the film was released he complained it was so awful, he couldn't brag to anybody about being in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together....and blow" "Rear Window" Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr. A "peeping tom photographer see's more than he should" "Dial "M" for Murder" Ray Milland "Lavender Hill Mob" Alec Guinness Two classic courtroom dramas: "Witness for the Prosecution" Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Tyrone Power "Anatomy of a Murder" Jimmy Stewart, Lee Remick Two great Lee Marvin "Bad Guys": "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" "Cat Ballou" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Greats > did you forgget to mention Rear Window? Recently also watched 'Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf' with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. It's actually more a filmed stage-play. But what firework between Burton and Taylor as a couple that cannot live with or without each other during an alcohol-drenched night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
