Movies you forgot about?

[Cicli]

Just finished watching the original Endless Summer. For got what a great film that was. Anyone else rediscover a film from days past you forgot you really enjoyed?

Remains of the day.

Tortuous story, but incredible Anthony Hopkins performance and I love the way that movie takes you back to a time and place forgotten.

[charliedid]

I can't remember.

On Any Sunday...

[bluesea]

Caveman w/Ringo Starr, Shelly Long, Dennis Quaid.

Surprisingly we were practically rolling on the floor cracking up.



P.S. My first choice was On Any Sunday

[pinkshogun]

House of Games. 1987. with Joe Mantagna

[Tony T]

Memento

The resurgence of Dystopian fiction has had me thinking about this one from my youth and when an old friend posted about it recently, it got me motivated to track a copy down.

Wizards

Okay, I'm just throwing this out there: this isn't a movie I've forgotten, but a movie I saw and can't find again.

The movie is about the friendship between two severely disabled boys in wheelchairs, each about 10 years old. Neither can walk or speak. The only world they know is the world their attendant nuns wheel them through. They meet, and gradually form a deep friendship. They play together, one dies, and the other grieves.

It is shot in black and white, there is not a single word of dialogue, and was produced probably in the 1980's, possibly in France or Canada. It's a movie, not a documentary, and the two principal actors do appear to actually be disabled as one has some physical limb deformity.

It is the single most emotionally involving and moving cinematic experience I have ever seen. Anybody?

Nothing epic, but three movies I can't not watch if they're on. I forget about them and a year or two later they show up again:

Princess Bride
Uncle Buck
Love Actually

Saw Easy Rider last night. I remember loving it when it came out, but looking back now, what awful dialogue. Peter Fonda: "I'm hip to time, Man"

[Kingfisher]

Quest for Fire

[Elefantino]

A TV movie: "The Missiles of October"

Superb, one of the best things ever on TV, particularly if you like history and politics, IMNSHO.

One shudders to think what might happen if a similar crisis arises and there aren't smart, level-headed people in the room.

I also watched it finally last night. Sad ending and wow didn't know Toni Basil (hey Mickey song) was in the movie too.

Saw it in grade school when I was a kid and didn't remember it until just recently. Very good film.
