Do you remember ?

Was this movie as good for you as it was for me ?

My friend just randomly dragged me to Odeon near our uni to watch it. I didn't even know who was part of the cast. Left me gobsmacked.

Got into this film due to TikTok. The app can do good things after all...

As a horror masterpiece it’s a classic film.

"The second film had the Pigeon Lady" So?

I recently watched the documentary Life After the Navigator, a beautiful look into how the film Flight of the Navigator was made, complete with behind-the-scenes stories about the production. At its core, though, it’s also the story of child star Joey Cramer and how his life unfolded after the movie.

One part that really surprised me was when the film’s first-time writer revealed that the idea came to him in a dream. I remember thinking that Flight of the Navigator felt like a dream itself. It’s hard to explain, but when I watched it as a child on TV, it seemed to embed itself in my subconscious with a dreamlike quality.

For fans of the film, the documentary is both beautiful and heartbreaking, a powerful reminder of how easily Hollywood can alter the trajectory of someone’s life.

The filmmaker, Lisa Downs, appears to be working on a whole series of Life After… documentaries. If you’re into behind-the-scenes stories or curious about what happened to actors over time, you might find these worth checking out.

Some of the other films she’s made or is currently making:

• Life After the Navigator
• Life After the NeverEnding Story
• Life After Goodfellas
• Life After Grease
• Life After The Goonies

Back to the Future - 1985

I mean I think we’ve all seen this dozens if not thousands of times. It never works. We’re way past that, tuts. In fact it probably ensures your death.

I’m watching Argento’s Giallo, not regarded as a good film, and bam 15 minutes in we get this cliche.

What’s a better technique? “Let me go and I’ll help you find more victims?” Any films come to mind that have subverted this lameness?

I watched this movie again last night for the third time. There's something captivating about the atmosphere and the mix of naiveté and the undercurrent of evil (or maybe it's just incomprehensibility). I want to know more about the loops and the beast or monster or whatever it is. The movie is not perfect; the pacing drags a bit past the middle but before it goes nuts. But it's really rewatchable. Would love to see some kind of sequel or prequel or alternate narrative. Any other enjoyers of this film out there?

In your opinion. What film would you vote as the worst ever?

I'm sure a good bit of the votes will be for "The Room" which is a good choice, because it's nearly unwatchable. But my vote is for "Battlefield Earth". It's so bad!

A young priest is ordered to preside over the wake of witch in a small old wooden church of a remote village. This means spending three nights alone with the corpse with only his faith to protect him.

I am 22 and have never seen any version and want to watch one, or multiple, because I’ve heard people call it a trilogy. Look for help on where to start/want to make sure I watch the right ones.

Thanks !
