You are CRUEL. Now I have to rewatch both this week to decide.

Agreed. I don't think it's a virility thing. I think him standing up for her laid the groundwork for an overall healthier relationship.

I hear you. And I agree. I was speaking only to the relief I would feel w/r/t Donald Trump not having his finger on the button. If given a wide-ranging list of choices for a replacement, 43 would still likely be near the very bottom.

Ahhh THE MATRIX. You are right. But yes, imo Reloaded and Revolution are not really much fun at all.

I actually think BTTF 1 is better than any single film in LOTR. Though LOTR may be the better trilogy. But the overall question I meant to ask with that was -- "what is the last great original trilogy (not based on anything other than the filmmakers' initial script) that retained the same directing and writing team throughout?"

One counter someone mentioned was, "what about LOTR? They were all directed by Peter Jackson and they have his creative DNA all over them." While I think this is a valid point, they were also based on a huge best-selling trilogy. I'm trying to think of the last top-to-bottom big budget trilogy that retained the same writer/director throughout its entire course. In the episode I post that it's the BTTF trilogy, but I'm open to counterarguments on this.

Well put! I was trying to get at this when I was talking about how the father/son stuff was the real story of PT1, but I wish I'd looked at that point from this angle as well.

Well put, Amy. Much love and much luck!

An absolute classic and I 100% endorse this as well. I think I even suggested at one point on the forums. But whatever gets it done. I can also see Amy liking this movie

Thought this would be more popular!

Voting "yes" solely because I can't argue with the sheer amount of joy this movie brings to my wife.

If we're not getting JESSE JAMES, I nominate the "Nevermind" of 90's horror movies. People forget that the reason this movie worked isn't necessarily the references, it's the fact that it's actually a great mystery that works in every way. And it rides its mixed tone with incredible precision. Also... it spawned a bunch of shitty knock-offs.

Yeah, but I can understand the need to make sure people listen to the episode to begin with.

I think it may need a vs to pull in listeners since not enough people saw it. At least in its theatrical run.

Why do you think this? I like CHOPPER quite a bit, mind you.
