These past few weeks, my workplace has been moving to a new location and I've been in charge of coordinating much of it, as well as doing my regular job and handling any problems. Typing lists helps me reduce stress, since it takes my mind off what's bothering me. I had already typed out a list of the movies I had watched and it topped out around 700 titles, but it's on some old computer that I sold. This new list has 844 entries, so I feel it's more accurate. I'm probably only missing 10-20 titles. There are no South Korean titles on this list, since those are already on a separate list and integration would take too much time.

I watched Dark Water again recently. A lovely movie. I find it very moving.

avatar! Feb 21, 2016

How about a list of say top 50 or 100 movies?

How about a list of say top 50 or 100 movies?

I'd have to eliminate the retrospective bias (or reminiscence bump) by rewatching movies I haven't seen for a couple or three decades. It might be that my memories are faulty (but I don't know it) and I could rank a movie higher than it deserves. For example, I don't know how good Enemy Mine really is. I know that my 10 year old self loved it, but what about now? How would I react to Dreamscape, which I haven't seen since the mid-80s? It would take a lot of work to accurately make a ranked top list.

For now, I can do an unranked, chronologically ordered list of movies that I have a very high opinion of. I'm not willing to consider any movie made after the year 2005, since I strongly agree with the notion that art has to age well in order to be good. According to my Excel file, I've watched 714 non-Korean movies made before the year 2006. This is my "top" list, excluding Korean movies:

A bit off-topic, but did you read Logan's Run? I found the book a bit of a disappointment, although perhaps my expectations were too high? Interesting plot, but I thought the writing was mediocre. I did enjoy the vast differences from the book and movie. For one thing, your last day is when you turn 21 and in the movie it's 30! By the way, apparently there was a short-lived TV series too.

Chiming in...after catching the New Year's run of original twilight zone,..I decided to start from episode one on Netflix.  Love it...but I've always wanted to watch the 80s series..so I bought a DVD box set for about $40...

I'm up to season 3 on the original series .  And I found that Netflix doesn't have the 4th season,  but I've since acquired it...Then I want to check out the original 'outer limits '. And then the updates 90s show...some good sci fi with in.  I've already caught at a couple of direct lifts on movies that have ripped off ideas

The original Twilight Zone is my favorite TV series of all time. One of my favorite episodes, while not as well known as say "The Invaders", is

Of Late of Think of Cliffordville

which I think has everything that makes The Twilight Zone magical. The original Outer Limits is worth watching but does not match Twilight Zone. In fact, I prefer Alfred Hitchcock Presents over The Outer Limits. Hitchcock actually does have a Twilight Zone feel in many of his episodes.

I have it in my library, along with the 2 sequels. Haven't read any of them yet. I do know that Logan's Run has two authors: William Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. Nolan is primarily a writer of short horror and I don't know anything about Johnson. I let one of my neighbors borrow Logan's Run many years ago. He was the type of person that was into CGI movies and didn't go for anything old. But he liked Logan's Run, though he mentioned several times that the actress that got naked was hot, so I'm not sure if he even noticed the movie.

I watched almost all of the original broadcasts back in the 80s. I don't remember the names of the episodes, but they adapted short fiction from Robert Silverberg (the episode where punishment consisted of a marker on your forehead and no one could talk to you) and Theodore Sturgeon (the episode where people build time). It's always fun, many years later, to discover the short story that inspired some Twilight Zone episode.

Around the same time as Twilight Zone in the 80s, there was a very brief TV show called "Otherworld". It ran for 8 episodes and was essentially "Sliders" but without the sliding technology. The first episode of Otherworld was (and still is) very good. It deals with a problem people are going to soon face: machines that have feelings. The teenage son in the "sliding" family falls in love with a girl in the new world they find. He finds out eventually that she is not human, but a machine. Due to an altercation with a Zone Trooper before entering the city and radiation sickness, he and his family are considered terrorists and have to leave the city immediately. Since he's irrational from the love feeling, he enters the android girl's bedroom at night and tries to convince her to go. When she asks him to stay instead, he says he can't desert his family. She then states that he's asking her to do the same thing. And then he says it's not the same.

I've always found that dialogue between android and human to be very interesting, because it shows that love is not a feeling for another person. If a person can love an android, which is a machine, then what is it that people love? I say, and I've always said, we just love the way we feel when we're in love. To lose the person (or android) that is loved would result in a loss of the feeling, which is what really worries people.

Ah, here it is: Rules of Attraction.
