Really good indie, keeps the interest.

Beetlejuice (1988)- Watching in prep for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Boy was Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder young! Wait, we were all young! 🙃


Beatlejuice Beatlejuice (2024)- When the scream writers sat down to flesh out this story, they asked a question, “How crazy and silly stupid can we get?” 🤮

Not worthy, kind of awful. Michael Keaton goes through the motions, his heart does not seem to be in it. A lot of lame attempts to kindle fond feelings about the original story to provide cover for a lame, inconsistent, beyond my limits, silly, at times grusome, nonsensical waste of time.
 
Devils of Darkness (1965)

Shines above many of the horror films that were churned out during the same era. The focus being on atmosphere & mood not the sheer fright value.

My favorite Michael Bay movie is The Island, many physical effects. 😃
My second favorite Michael Bay movie is Armageddon (1998)- incredible energy, enthusiast performances, incredible eye candy, and bordering on over the top action.🙂 Then I caught an article regarding Bruce Willis and got a little depressed.

X-Men (2000)- Not the first Marvel movie, but it establishes X-Men in the MCU and in the overall story, devotes a great deal of time to Wolverine. At some point, viewing X-Men 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is a must. I have mixed feelings about X-Men 3, although it’s worthy enough, although they seriously short change the equivalent of the Dark Pheonix Saga. Although a later movie addresses the Dark Pheonix, I’ve not yet seen it because it got bad reviews. These are the actors I imprinted on, and I although I gave the later X-Men movies that portray the younger X-Men a chance, I don’t like any I’ve seen.

any suggestion for some of the older movies, eg James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Bogart and such?
I cut cable several years ago and now miss TCM and AMC, neither offer subscriptions afaik. Not sure I want to buy some/all of those that I might be interested in.

The Internet Archive is the place to look, has thousands of older films. I watch a lot of Film Noir from there. Quality varies, but for these older films is generally good enough.


Should keep you busy for a decade or so LOL...

The Hunger (1983)

One the most stylish vampire films to be produced...🔥More art house than epic adventure. Is a slow burn, equally sublime in execution...

I cut all subscription services years back, is just a racket. Always been big into free open source software, same applies with films. I dont mind paying, I do mind renting, I buy only physical media latest being The Keep.

Since then have come across some exceptional films. Now I have the reigns and am not spoon fed the typical Hollyweird garbage of today by some faceless network...

YouTube does have a fair few old films; TubiTV, PlutoTV and Plex have a small selection. You can also find a lot of classic content in the video section of the Russian social media site OK.
