MOVIE: LEGENDS OF THE FALL (1994)

Image
I saw this a while back and if I recall it was pretty good. Movies will be sporadic from this point forward as they are not very popular anyway. LINK TO MOVIE: https://fsharetv.co/movie/legends-of-the-fall-episode-1-tt0110322

MOVIE: TORA! TORA! TORA! (1970)

Image
An excellent movie, and it vividly illustrates the way America was as a nation on 7 December 1941. We will not survive what is coming our way this time, like we did back then. Enjoy the flick. https://fsharetv.co/movie/tora!-tora!-tora!-episode-1-tt0066473

MOVIE: HEAVY METAL (1981)

I've played this one before - it's not a bad flick for an adult cartoon. https://ok.ru/video/24143399490 Rated R.

Movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Movie: The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Image
Not a bad flick, I saw it ages ago. I'm kinda bored with all this, so bear with me. I'll try to hang around but I have much to do in real life and this place doesn't make me much money. It might be different if it did. That said, Jodie Foster was competent playing this part, especially in the scenes with Anthony Hopkins. https://fsharetv.co/movie/the-silence-of-the-lambs-episode-1-tt0102926

It is very loosely based on the 1982 novel of the same title written by Stephen King and published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.

This flick is very obscure; I haven't seen it in perhaps 25 years or so. For the time being, movie posts like this will be irregular.
