It was 'Everybody's Talkin' and an episode in American Dad that made me watch it.
shareHad to watch it for a film history class apparently it was one of the first movies after the Mpaa was created to have sex in it but not be considered a porno
shareI saw it in the theater when I was 16. All these years later I still like the movie.
shareLol, I saw it when it was first in the theaters.
shareCuriosity about the movie that was rated X. Bought it on VHS. I think it is about time I upgraded lol
shareI was around 15 or 16 and had to stay at my mother's house for some reason. The movie was on network TV and it was Christmas Eve, so I figured 'why not?'. The younger me thought it was going to have a happy ending with the boys living the life in Florida.
In a weird way, that one movie set a tradition that I watch something very anti-holiday on Christmas. Usually a killer Santa or a crime drama.
We had one of those old radios that my auntie listened to while I helped her in the kitchen. I must have been about 4 or 5, and I remembered this song that was so soothing. I heard it again on the trailer for MC once we got movie channels, and it brought me back to that warm kitchen with my auntie (who was long gone by then). I had to watch the movie.
The music was by John Barry with Toots Thielemans haunting harmonica.
Network TV, 1981.
shareIt was always a well known movie since it's release - and I was ten at the time - so it was natural to want to see it at some point. Don't remember the particular circumstance of my first viewing, but it's a classic. And not some one-note story. It mutates into some weird territory while feeling real the whole while.
shareI had to look up on the internet to find out who sang Everybody's Talkin'. It was Harry Nilsson.
