The Doors (1991)
Good, but...
I basically became a Doors fan after Morrison "disappeared".I wasn't that familiar with them at the time (circa '72),but the music struck a chord with me while I was trying to "create" in High School art class.I definitely was inspired,but my enthusiasim was latent until a few years later when I almost became obsessed with everything "Doors"I went on to read the book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" I looked forward to the Movie,but I was naturally disappointed,having read the book.Kilmer's singing was good (I wish the surviving Doors could have had him tour with them,recently,instead of that Fop, Astbury),but a dead ringer for Mr.MoJo,himself.Not in a million years.I like Kyle MacLaglen but I think an unknown would have portrayed Manzarek more convincingly considering how small the part was anyway
Scrooge (1951)
Simply Great
This is the only movie that gives me a lump in the throat and tear in the eye.Scrooge's transformation is incredible.It almost seems that it actually was filmed in 19th century England,if that could have been possible.It's a 'can't miss' every Christmas.I would hope that everyone, in need of one,could undergo a redemption like Scrooge.I find it hard to accept Sim in any other role.Sim IS Scrooge.
Quintet (1979)
One of the worst
I'll never forget Quintet.I have to say it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.As a matter of fact I can't recall ANY movie that was worse.This is probably because a friend and I actually PAID to see it in a theatre.Just the mention of Quintet has been an excellent laughing stock for us over the years.Naturally,I remember virtually zero about the "plot" so I guess what we laugh at most, is our own gullability
Dizzy Pilots (1943)
My Favorite
This is easily my favorite Stooges Short.I became a Stooges fan when I was about 5.I'm still a huge fan at age 47.I feel the Stooges were at their peak with "Dizzy Pilots".I believe most guys would find "Pilots" hilarious.while most females may find it rather silly.Too bad.Of course,most women don't like football and some children don't like ice cream either
