What movies are you watching?

Jaws 50th Anniversary theater showing. Only my second viewing. While I do enjoy it and recognize the achievements, I'm not as enamored with it as most. The big screen absolutely enhances the experience though.

Also Richard Dreyfuss is incredible.

rewatched "E.T" over the last couple of days

I sobbed twice, it was much darker, sadder and funnier than I remembered; something I love about vintage Spielberg is that whatever the film is "leading" with (sci-fi, family, adventure, whatever), the film always has one foot in the door of horror, and this was no exception; the creature setup, the medical experimentation (where the trope of human abducted by aliens is reversed), the setting on Halloween, the theme of "nothing lasts forever"; it's quite brilliant really

Kinda blown away by Bring Her Back. I think I liked it better than Weapons

no! should I?

It's a masterpiece. And has a lot of the same qualities that you pointed out about ET. I think it might be Spielberg's much gut wrenching film. I admittedly don't always respond to his work but ET and AI are my two favorites.

i would say

prepare to cry

but i agree (OMFG) with Joe, its a great one.

[LoathedVermin72]

Spielberg is my boy but I’ve never quite been able to join the AI gang. One of his weakest for me.

[wease]

Minority Report is fucking badass.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yes, Minority Report rules

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Team Minority Report.

[epilogue]

I should watch Minority Report again. Haven't seen it since the original theatrical run.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Skitch hated it.

[Farmer John]

yeah - I'd almost call it gateway horror (was for me)

it's like you're purposely trying to avoid the Horror thread! do you have any idea how that makes me feel?

[Jorge]

I was banned from the horror thread for my thoughts on Sinners
