Correct.

If memory serves, it was John Landis segment, in which the tragic incident occurred.

There was a trial, and I believe he got acquitted of all charges...

Quite gruesome death for Vic Morrow and the kids...

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

One of my favorite horror movie.

It shows that horror movies can also be funny.

Before you run out and get this, please understand that it is VERY RACY and is most definitely not suitable for young children.

Having said that, anyone here been to England, and can vouch that nurses in England are like Nurse Alex Price? What do I mean? Prim Proper, Naughty nurse?? tongue.gif Anyone??

John Landis more know for comedy rather then horror.

After he finished The Blues Brothers and made a name for himself, Unviersal/Polygram Picture greenlit this and gave him a budget of 10 million.

When he first conceive the movie, and found out that there was alot of incentive for movie makers to make movies in England, he went okay werewolf in London, done.

He then ask Rick Baker, if the transformation sequence can be done and Rick Said, he would think about it.

When he called Rick and said he had the budget, Rick was already working on The Howling (1981)!!!

John had a few choice words which he shared with Rick and Rick said, okay I was get my protege to work on The Howling (I will consult) which will free me up to do your movie. And thank goodness for THAT!!

I also love the special feature. I did not know alot about this movie, namely

I think you mean The Land Before Time (1988)?

I have to say that I am really NOT a fan of his.

His works and me just don't "click".

The Secret of NIMH (1982)
An American Tail (1986)
Thumbelina (1994)
Anastasia (1997)
Titan A.E. (2000)


They are NOT bad works... just "missing" something...

My Fair Lady (1964)

The 60s is probably the last decade that Hollywood is able to produce good "period" movies.

What I mean if this movie is made today, however expensive the costume and set pieces are, there would definitely a noticeable "fakeness" to the movie.

My opinion.

For those who did not know, this movie was based on a successful Broadway show.

In the Broadway version, Rex Harrison plays Professor Higgins and Julie Andrews, Ms Eliza Doolittle.

In the movie, Audrey Hepburn was cast as Ms Eliza Doolittle.

Julie Andrews supposedly "threw a few tantrums" but then, she got the Mary Poppins role instead, and she won best Actress for THAT role!! (in the same year)

So, what is this movie about?

Ms Eliza Doolittle is a poor street side flower girl. One rainy night, she had a chance encounter with Professor Higgins, who publicly humiliate her had announce that if he has 6 months with her, he could teach her the Queens English so well, that he can bring her to the Embassy Ball and pass her off as a Duchess!

On hearing this, Ms Eliza Doolittle, visited the professor in the morning, asking to be a student of his, to improve her spoken language. A house guest of Professor Higgins, an old Colonel Hugh Pickering, intrigue by the prospect, offered to pay for her lesson!

So bring on the montage of the lessons and... do you think she can do it (eg pass as a Duchess at the Embassy Ball)

If that kind of language shocked the "polite" society back then, I wonder when modern English in an TV Series nowadays would do the the said "polite society"!!! laugh.gif

Give it a try, why don't you.

No Way Out (1987)

This is a thriller, with Kevin Costner (I believe this started his film career), Gene Hackman (always good) and Sean Young (before Pet Detective).

When I watched this in 1987, it was the bomb!! It was like watching Enemy of the State (which also has Gene Hackman) for the first time.

It was about technology (as per 1989) and criminal investigation.

Now watching back, this movie looks "tired and jaded" because so many movie after this, had done much much better for the genre (Well, Enemy of the State comes to mind).

Having said that, the ending would still surprise you>

So, if you like stuff from the 80s, and you want something different, give this a go.
