I've unstickied the Movie thread, this one's better IMO.

Total Recall (1990). Arguably the best directing of Paul Verhoeven's lurid career, featuring a crappy score by Jerry Goldsmith.

Opening scene...

46 minutes in, "Two weeeeeeekkkksssssss!"

Hannibal, opening credits (1990, directed by Ridley Scott, my favorite movie from the last 20 years).

Dune (1984), David Lynch. A wallpaper of them.

As flawed as it is, Dune is still one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy films.

As time passes and the Zombie Apocolypse grows nearer, The Omega Man (dir. Boris Sagal, starring Charlton Heston, 1971), a B-film at best, has become my favorite film of all time, beating out Blade Runner and Touch of Evil (90s re-edit/remaster). The first half-hour is just so bloody gripping and entertaining.

^ best adaptation of the book I am Legend, IMO.

The version with Vincent Price is pretty good, too.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out!

Well, let's move kids, we've got a long way to go.

You have no idea of the laughs that scene gave me and my friends when we saw that in our teens. Oh we used to parody that scene so much. It was our favourite scene of any movie back then. buses, budgies, and buggies, come to mind whenever I see that image always reminds me of them times larking about with friends doing variations on that theme

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

One of my favorite quotes ever, let alone from that film. However, my favorite scrots from Aliens are these two at the beginning of the film...

And credit to Lance Henriksen as Bishop, one of the best artificial persons ever.

My goodness, the colors, lighting, sets, cinematography, costumes... in this film. Even without the story, characters and special effects, just brilliant.

If they'd only paid the electric bill so they could have turned on a studio light or two it'd even be watchable.

Wow, that's one of the most jaded movie comments I've heard in quite a long time, and I just said that I consider the lighting in Aliens to be superb, so obviously we disagree, and you're wrong. Maybe you mean the first film, Alien, which is lit darker. You'd still be wrong, both of those movies have near-perfect lighting.

Mine would be that James Horner is a bit of a hack film-scorer, and he reused a bunch of music from Star Trek: Wrath of Khan for the action sequences of Aliens, but you have me way beat. This clip says Aliens, which would be the assault land-vehicle scene when Ripley takes over from Gorhman, but it's also most of (all of) the Klingon 'Bird of Prey' scenes in Wrath of Khan...

Apparently it was because Cameron left him no time to finish Aliens, but whatever.

Sorry, the actual "Battle Scene" comparison is with Star Trek III, it's direct in places...

Perhaps for watchers in movie theaters or darkened rooms, but these things are clearly purposely lit & filmed to actively prevent watching on a TV screen during daylight hours. The problem is pretty much industry wide. I've just about given up trying to watch movies as a result. The problem doesn't usually arise with old movies before they forgot how to shoot them. But some folks, me included, have problems tolerating the lighting conditions in movie theaters (consequence of autistic spectrum sensory issues), they leave me with migraine like symptoms. Aliens, would have been a good movie if they'd bought some light-bulbs, as it was, approx 2 hours movie approx 6 hours post-movie pain, not worth it. And totally unwatchable in a well lit room.

Since it clearly causes you no issue, you wouldn't consider it, any more than most folks consider the effects of flashing images on epileptics.

It's a real shame so many movies are ruined by being filmed in the dark.

So, not so much jaded, more ticked off that I can't watch the modern industry's output.
