Reply to Best strength scenes in movies. by Jackamo78
This is an excerpt from the wikipedia article about the 1970s documentary "Pumping Iron" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The article is talking about Franco Columbu, another body builder. Arnold got him a small part in "The Terminator" as the terminator who gets past the barking guard dog into a human refuge in Kyle Reese's flashback.
Columbu impresses his family with a display of strength by lifting up the back end of a car and angling it so it can [get out of] a tight parking spot.

Reply to This probably sounds stupid, but how do you guys watch all of your movies? by Mindless_Bad_1591
I have legal subscriptions to Netflix, Disney+, AppleTV, hbomax, Paramount+ (which includes Showtime) and Hulu.
There is also an excellent theater less than 10 minutes from my house which serves food and alcohol to your seat. I can check their web site 15 minutes before showtime to see how many tickets have been sold before deciding to go see a movie. I saw "Cocaine Bear" there Friday after seeing the showing was almost 50% sold. I thought the audience reactions would make the movie even more enjoyable. (I was right; the movie might be a little slow paced to watch at home.)

Supergirl is lightweight fluff. Melissa Benoist needs to make more movies.

I saw it three or four days after it opened. I thought, "That's a cool poster" and didn't know anything else. Saw it in a mostly deserted theater with a housemate. That first scene of the Star Destroyer chasing the cruiser is embedded into my consciousness.
I saw it again a week later in a much better setting: The Coronet theater in San Francisco. The theater was packed, pot smoke filling the air, the audience booing Darth Vader. That is also a wonderful memory.

Tattoo DON"T WATCH NEW STAR WARS TRILOGY on your chest in mirror image so you see it every morning, like Leonard in "Memento".

Reply to Did Bridge to Terabithia emotionally scar anyone else as much as it emotionally scarred me? by Getofffmycloud
I saw this as an adult, hadn't read the book, and was devastated.
I would have been absolutely wrecked if I had seen it as a child.

Logged in to second this opinion. He is so slimy in this movie, with no redeeming qualities at all.
This movie also include peak Jami Gertz.

"Touch of Evil" is a fantastic movie. He cast himself as a corrupt, alcoholic, fat, murderous police officer.

Days of Heaven (1978)
There isn't a lot of dialogue. The plot is slow moving so it's easy to follow.
The hook to keep watching is that it is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. It won the Academy Award that year for Cinematography and was nominated for three other Oscars. You can let the images wash over you like a warm waterfall.
