That's a very good movie also, although I haven't seen it in quite some time.

The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)
Scrooge - Albert Finney or George C. Scott version
Miracle on 34th Street    (1947)
It's a Wonderful Life  (1946)
How Green Was My Valley (1941)
The Grapes of Wrath (1940)


Are a few other classics I enjoy often.




I think part of the problem is that Directors lose a little bit of the what made their earlier movies great- having a solid direction to what the movie is about.  Now they try and make movies more cerebral and ambiguous so it's left open to interpretation in a poor attempt to reach a broader audience. Which when done to an already established franchise like Alien, just makes the sequels fall flat in any real direction and meaning to the viewer.


Fun fact: The Alien Franchise goes through the movie classifications overall in the way they are formatted.

Alien - Suspense
Aliens- Horror
Aliens 3- Drama
Alien: Resurrection - Comedy
Prometheus - Adventure
Alien: Covenant - Thriller


I also enjoyed Baby Driver.

I went and seen the remake of 'Pet Sematary' last night.   It was done really well with just enough differences in the story line to make it unique without losing the overall feel of the original story.

I love reading Stephen King and I'm glad to see some of his stories getting redone properly, IMHO.   "IT" (2017) was also enjoyable and would recommend it.

I toO loved both the original and new, Baby Driver...

And...

I toO love, Stephen king... I want to see the new, Pet Cemetery!!! I liked the original and the boOk... Same with, IT, as well... They did goOd...
