Had another movie night with friends. This time a couple classics that amazingly I've never seen before
The Final Countdown (1980)
This to me was kind of as lost treasure. I thought I had seen every science fiction based movie from the 1980's, I guess I was wrong. What makes this film amazing was that while it is simple, and not flashy by any means, it manages to tell a compelling story, much like a long episode of Twilight Zone. Admittedly, I might find it boring if watched often, but as it was completely new to me, I found it to be enjoyable, also it's nice to finally see the film I had linked to one of the coolest movie posters form the early 80's.
The Magnificent 7 (1960)
I know what you're thinking, how cold I have not seen this? Well, truthfully, I'm not a fan of westerns. My grandfather watched John Wayne constantly when I was little, and I always found his films to be *boring*. Even when I was a teenager, and All my friends sung the praises of Young Guns, Tombstone etc... It just wasn't my thing. Now of course, I've seen 7 Samurai, and many other westerns that have ripped off, parodied, and homage Magnificent, but never the film itself. I found it mostly enjoyable, probably because of the company I was with, wouldn't have any desire to watch it alone, but it was fun, and entertaining with the right crowd. I can see why this film is so highly praised by older generations, and probably glad I didn't try to watch it as a kid, because I certainly would not have appreciated it back them.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
