I read "Dune" in the late Seventies. I started out loving it, but by the time I got to the end, I was glad I was at the end and I have never read the sequels.

The thing I remember about "Rambo" is that my friend saw the movie five times. He hated Reagan, and he went to laugh at the movie. He did a great impression of Stallone saying "Do we get to win this time, sir?" and "I just want my country to love me as much as I love it."

I saw "Flesh + Blood" when the Case film society showed it. Paul Verhoeven was known for "The Fourth Man," which was sort of a horror movie/erotic thriller. "Flesh + Blood" just blew me and my friends away. Very impressive.

It seems to me that a big reason they don't make Westerns anymore is that the mayhem in a classic Western is just too penny-ante these days. How many people get killed in "High Noon"? Four outlaws. In "Shane"? One civilian and three bad guys.

I really liked "Looney Tunes Back in Action." I liked how it used some of the minor Looney Tunes characters in scenes. And I loved all the sci-fi movie jokes in Area 52.

Great article!

That is a valid way to read the ending.

I missed "The Terminator" when it first came out. Read a favorable review of it by, of all people, Harlan Ellison. Then saw the movie at Case Western Reserve in January 1985.

The thing I remember about the end of "Stand By Me" is that people got freaked out that Dreyfus shut down his computer without saving his document, so the "wonderful story" we had seen no longer existed.

Greatest character name.

"Politics are complex, art is complex, and people are complicated."

I hope "Hell or High Water" keeps widening its release. I don't want to drive three hours to see it.

I saw "Blue Thunder" at a special free preview, and I don't think I've thought about it once since then. It wasn't bad. It was just slick and forgettable.

What!!!

Watched the 1975 neo-noir "Night Moves," which was directed by Arthur Penn and starred Gene Hackman as a flawed private eye. I ended up really enjoying this one. Despite all I had heard about the film's mystery being "unsolved," I think I came away with an explanation for the action that made sense for me. Thank…

Thanks. I wanted to say Luthor wasn't the villain, but I seem to remember somebody bald in the play, so I wasn't sure.

Glad to see someone else remembers and likes this movie.

Maybe 30 years ago, I saw a summer stock production of "It's a Bird, It's a Plane," a musical about Superman. (I guess the original Broadway play of "Bird/Plane" came out in the Sixties and was sort of influenced by the "Batman" TV show.)

That is a great moment.
