If you think that’s terrible, then you had better thank your lucky stars that Steven Spielberg never went ahead and made “Peter Pan” with Michael Jackson.

[quote=“John Welles, post:13, topic:1960”]The original “Star Wars” trilogy and I have seen most of my Laurel and Hardeys at least a dozen times, with “Way Out West” (my favourite of all L & H films) nearly twenty times.[/quote]Busy Bodies is my favourite L& H.
[quote=“Richard–W, post:30, topic:1960”]2001: A Space Odyssey.[/quote]I found it mind numbingly boring. I was a teenager mind and maybe now I’m a lot older I should give it another try.

Beta/VHS came onto the scene about 81-ish… I only purchased a VHS-tapeplayer… hmmmm… The Wild Bunch, The Train, and Kronos were the first 3 tapes I ever bought. Cable was around in the mid-70’s but I didn’t really re-watch stuff, and never liked ‘annual’ network broadcasts like Wizard Of Oz or It’s A beautiful Life. I’d have-to lean toward Woodstock or Star Wars…

2001: A Space Odyssey
I was younger than you, not yet a teenager, but I found it awesome, inspired, and inspiring.
I still do.
I saw it in May 1968 at the Capitol Theater, a Cinerama screen, at 9 o’clock in the morning. The film was promoted in schools. It was a class trip. Or rather a grade trip. Teachers started collecting $4 per child in January. There was a two-sided poster with photos and write-ups about the film posted on the bulletin board in each class. I wanted that poster desperately and pleaded for it but my teacher wouldn’t let me have it. I’ve never seen one since. Over the next few months there would be a short lesson about the space race every day. We learned about the space program and what it was like to be an astronaut. Evidently there were morning screenings every weekday for public schools. I was very little, so the screen probably looked bigger than it really was, but sitting there in front of a giant screen was like being immersed in outer space. It was a very scary film. I became obsessed with it over the next several years and saw it many, many times. I never missed a repertory screening since. Actually, the last time I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey projected was in 2001.
