I stand by my assertion.

In Annie Hall, there's a scene where Alvy Singer is starting his first job as a comedy writer for a hyper, un-funny television performer. I never could figure out if this was supposed to be a mean caricature of Caesar, but if so I'm not buyin' it.
And @avclub-c2368b9b57ecb23aade9660fac830459:disqus : My Favorite Year.…

When I was in high school, friends of my parents had tickets to see Caesar and Coca live at a small theater, and when someone dropped out they asked if I wanted to join. It sounded like the worst outing ever to me, but I went, and at least twice during the show I was doubled over gasping, along with everyone else, at…

I too remember thinking The Black Hole was cool as hell when I first saw it, but my wife has never, ever forgiven her father for taking her to see it when it came out. Because of The Black Hole, she hates Star Trek or anything with a spaceship, and I'm pretty sure she's never even seen an episode of Star Trek. So I've…

I need to go back and watch Dragonslayer—I remember loving it when it came out. Maybe I shouldn't bother.
And yes, the Conan (original one) soundtrack is fantastic. Much classier than the movie attached to it.

A TV movie called Don't Be Afraid of the Dark with Kim Darby. That film had me spooked for a decade. It still kinda plays in a loop in some hidden part of my brain whenever the lights go out.

I saw that when it was in theaters, and while I don't remember the film too well, I can still hum that AWESOME theme. Great, great soundtrack. I'm sure the movie attached to it was fine as well.

While my honest answer would be Blade Runner, Noel's choice of Singin' in the Rain is a close second, and I've seen that film a billion times starting from an earlier age, so maybe that would be the film I've loved the longest. Surprised it doesn't get more AV club love—it's cinema magic, it holds up astoundingly…

As I've said before, Mary Steenburgen is aging in reverse. All these time travel movies she makes are like a clue she gives us, like all those 'Paul is dead' hints in the Beatles albums.

And the soundtrack is by Mott the Hoople, adding the the confusion.

Dude, spoilers!

Welcome to the beginning of your life as an old person! I get a little achey when I just see a flight of stairs now.

Probably the only Disney movie with zombies. That kill people! Otherwise a crappy film.

@avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus That makes us about the same age. Star Wars is the first movie I remember waiting in line to see—we got to the theater and I saw people standing in a row around the building, something I had never seen before. I can vaguely remember a few movies before that, including…

@avclub-75f023b01584c7f37883f41c2a2b91ca:disqus Well, this is on the Internet (I'm looking right at it) so… therefore true.

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus Lovecraft was indeed racist even given the era he lived in—but he lived just long enough to express (in letters to Willis Conover) his regret and disgust that he had ever held such views, much less expressed them publicly. He was an anti-Semite who ended up marrying a…

@avclub-4b0732dd2e072509479e21645ba653b3:disqus  No Heaven for Harryhausen. He gets to choose between Elysium and Valhalla.

Yeah, blind allies are no good; you think they're on your side, and then they accidentally shoot you in the face or something.
Also: Shut up, the man was brilliant and his work was amazing.

Yeah, I think I know why @avclub-1441762ea1630bc0605fdcef3984e996:disqus 's dad as well as mine took us to see that movie, and it wasn't Sinbad, or the tiger.

Also one of my first films. I really remember the Minotaun, even though he was far from one of the more memorable Harryhausen creations. Such a world of fantastic menace in those films, yet none of it traumatizing for a young me who was still scared of the dark; it was all thrilling and exciting.
