Lights Out - Poltergeist

From October 20, 1942.

Dick Tracy (1990)

Next. Conversely, any reference I see somewhere to a movie might make me want to watch it. I used to take a list to the library and more often than not find every movie on the list. Saw this in the theater.

Directed by George P. Cosmatos. On a rainy day like today I would recommend a deep water triple feature with Leviathan, The Abyss, and DeepStar Six. I did that at the beginning of the year.

The Dark Crystal (1982)

Picking a movie if I don't have something specific in mind can be torture so I will sometimes search a streaming site by choosing a random year (1982) and hopefully something will pop up that I want to watch. Some years work better than others and I will watch two, three, four in a row of the same year. Dark Crystal playing now.
