Don't mean anything by it. I'm just a curious person.

There are a couple classics that I've never seen, but usually it's movies that I watched when I was younger and wasn't paying attention to like Titanic or Back to the Future or Indiana Jones. I've seen those but I want to watch them for real since it's been so long since I've watched those. As for Star Wars, I just was never that interested in watching them until now. I don't know if this even makes sense lol.

Actually, I now remember that I saw Episode III in the theater when I was 5 years old. I don't remember anything from it, so I need to watch it again. I've also seen parts of Phantom Menace but not the whole thing. Stuff like that.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

I've finally come to the finale of the original trilogy, and although I still can't say I'm a huge fan of the franchise, I've really enjoyed all three of the original Star Wars films, even if there are glaring flaws that no one seems to talk about. Of the original trilogy, Return of the Jedi definitely has the most noticeable problems, but it does end the series in a suitably ambitious and entertaining fashion. In Return of the Jedi, the Galactic Empire is building a second Death Star to finally destroy the Rebel Alliance, and Emperor Palpatine is personally overseeing the project. The Rebel Fleet launches a full-scale attack onto the Death Star in order to prevent its completion and kill Palpatine. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker attempts to bring Darth Vader out of the Dark Side of the Force. The action scenes in Episode VI are a bit more inconsistent than in the other movies, but I have to mention the speeder bike chase scenes. It's without a doubt my favorite scene in the series so far because it's so fast-paced, well shot and intense. It was definitely the highlight of the movie. One of the weaker action scenes was a bizarre set piece with the Ewoks. The entire scene was just awkward; I find it hard to believe that a primitive race of small hairy creatures armed with sticks could defeat the Imperial stormtroopers. Return of the Jedi also didn't improve on the cheesy father-son plot from The Empire Strikes Back. Watching Luke pitifully try to convince Darth Vader to step away from the Dark Side was groan-inducing. Nevertheless, the strengths of the Star Wars series are still on full display here. The utter imagination and detail put into the universe is incredible, and the film is just as exciting as its predecessors. Return of the Jedi isn't as competent as the previous films, but it is a satisfying and sporadically rousing conclusion.

7/10

Yes, Luke's first meeting Vader on Endor is so cringe inducing. I've enjoyed mimicking luke from that scene for laughs a long time. Hamill is basically mentally disabled in that scene.

Mark was Oscar worthy in New Hope, and cringe worthy in Jedi. Highlights of Jedi were the last space fight for the Deathstar, and Luke's long encounter with the Emperor.

I sobbed like a little bitch when I was a child during Yoda's death.

I refuse to own any of these newer cuts of the film considering each one butchers it more than the previous. When they release the threatrical versions on DVD or BR I will get them

Speaking of Star Wars, how many of you have seen the Family Guy parody on
Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). Bloody brilliant! The others aren't bad too but the first one's the best.

Or Spaceballs.

Death Wish (1974)
A/B

Death Wish II (1982)
A/B
Great sequel. Perhaps better than the first one.
Quite brutal for the time, me thinks.

Always loved vigilante and revenge movies.

DR. HECKYL AND MR. HYPE 1980


Kind of a reversal. Dr. Heckyl (Oliver Reed) is a disfigured,gentle foot doctor. Mr. Hype(still Oliver Reed) is a handsome and seriously vain lady killer.

Real strange little movie but good!
