Dunno if they have flea markets on EARF or not, but those places are a gold mine for cheap second-hand media once the weather warms up.

You might have seen most of these, just general genre picks not on your list that I like to rewatch...

Sci-fi: Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, Starman, They Live
Action: Escape from New York, The Last Dragon, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Shaolin Soccer
Fantasy: The Princess Bride, Time Bandits, The Secret World of Arrietty, Everything Everywhere All At Once
Horror: An American Werewolf in London, House, Videodrome, Let the Right One In

I'm going to split off and make a separate thread showing what i have and the list I'm making to get.

[SnowCat]

Hatari! (1962)

The Black Cat (1934) Some great cinematography and acting in this one. Final act gets a bit sloppy.

Cocoon (1985) Found a DVD copy recently, which is cool because it's kind of an infamously hard to see movie these days (Only one real DVD release 20+ years ago and has never streamed anywhere). It's an interesting movie, but it's no wonder BTTF overshadows it as the big scifi film of 1985.

Excellent mix of western, Agatha Christie, Ten Little Indians, and a Civil War era train caper w/a great cast of faces.

Another movie based on an Alistair Maclean book.

It's interesting how the theme song for Hooper insists that the stuntman gets all the prettiest women while The Fall Guy's theme song is all about how he does all the work and someone else gets the girl.

I'm sure it was mentioned in The Art of GI Joe book. The artist was Doug Hart, the image is the one at the top of the page: https://www.3djoes.com/19872.html

No way the movie should be as fun as it is, but I still enjoy it.

I just watched that too. I fell asleep in the middle though. I think the script being written by Leigh Brackett (The Big Sleep, early drafts for Empire Strikes Back) probably helps it stay entertaining.

I haven't seen that movie for a long long time. Since I was a little kid in the early 1980s where movies like Tank and other stuff would pop up on HBO during the weekernds

I have that one somewhere but I haven't watched it yet. I should do that.

This reminded me, I forgot to mention the other day when we were discussing Rockford Files that Atkins plays a recurring character in a number of episodes in the first few years.

Hmmm. I may need to check this author out.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say Burt probably wouldn't accept the Fall Guy's lyrics if it implied any woman in the world didn't want him.

I backed that book very early on and - while I'm glad it was such a success - I would've preferred it stayed smaller in scale. It grew so much that it's become too cumbersome to casually thumb through. Not sure I see Christopher Reeve in that image - will have to look closer - but thank you fro sharing the link.

If you keep an eye out at your local thrift stores, you can usually find one or two of his books in paperback form. I actually saw a copy of Guns of Navarone alongside some Bond books just last Saturday.

One warning: there are a few of the film adaptations that should be avoided at all costs: Way to Dusty Death, River of Death and the two Detonator films with Pierce Brosnan.
There's a couple of other boring/not too good MacLean films, but those four are truly abysmal.

Yeah, that would be my guess as well.

Yeah, on the one hand I like seeing the artwork at that scale and quality, but on the other I absolutely agree. It's hard to read something that big and heavy.
I double checked the book and the way it's written, it could be referring to the 1988 MB GI Joe connecting puzzle with Falcon, but it's not real clear.
