Decide My Movie: American Made (haven't seen it); Three Billboards (seen it); or Going Clear (the Scientology documentary that I haven't yet seen either). -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Aug 25, 17:46 6
- the Fake or Fortune episode I assigned you last night was season 7 ep. 1. there are 6 seasons of 6 episodes. you have yet to see. -- nm* - peglegpete Aug 25, 18:14
- American Made is solid. -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 17:50 1
  - American Made, by acclimation. Thanks all. -- nm* - ReluctantCynic Aug 25, 17:52
- American Made. Then Going Clear. Then hating yourself for watching them in that order. But do it anyway. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 17:49
- Have not seen it but American Made got fantastic reviews -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 17:49 1
  - American Made was one of the best movies of 2017. Going Clear is really well done, but will most likely infuriate you -- nm - prayformojo Aug 25, 17:51
In the 10 minutes that I flipped to check the McCain news, the goals were scored in the Tor-Mtl footy match. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 17:41 1
- Err, three goals -- nm - zork Aug 25, 18:10
For movies made from these tv shows that ran in the 70s and 80s, would you agree with this assesstment? -- (edited) - Jovian Aug 25, 17:31 40
- Charlie's Angels (the first one) was quite entertaining. Land of the Lost was most definitely not. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 25, 19:03
- Miami Vice was groundbreaking television during its early seasons. -- nm - David Aug 25, 18:42
- Land of the Lost was the biggest piece of crap - amoxy - 2017 Caveman Champion Aug 25, 18:29
- because it's Sunday, I'm working at a mine, and waiting for things to process: I looked them all up. - mafic Aug 25, 18:26 3
  - Interesting, I would guess that Land of the Lost gets played on tv more than the rest except Jump Street. -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:37 1
    - I imagine it's cheap. -- nm - mafic Aug 25, 18:38
  - that looks about right -- nm - prayformojo Aug 25, 18:28
- A-Team was better than GI Joe, but I'd rather see another sequel to GI Joe. -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:18 5
  - I'd rather see another sequel to RED and A-Team than GI Joe. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 18:18 4
    - Oh yeah? Well I'd rather see a sequel to The Losers than the rest of them! How about that! -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:23 3
      - With Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Chris Evans? Fuck yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 19:27 1
        
        Fuck Yeah! - Epiphany Aug 25, 19:29
      - The Losers was a fun movie! Wish they would do a sequel! -- nm - amoxy - 2017 Caveman Champion Aug 25, 18:24
- I'm in violent disagreement about categorizing Dragnet as a failure or not good, even if it didn't serve the show well. - Max Aug 25, 18:14
- missing from the list is the movie version of the BBC show The Avengers which I was looking forward to and it stank... also the Rocky Bullwinkle flop -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 25, 18:10 1
  - Ah, good call. (Also, The Prisoner got remade, but not as a movie ...) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 18:12
- M:I is barely a version of the tv show. Much less than almost all the rest good and bad. -- nm - . Aug 25, 18:01 1
  - That's true of the first and second movies, but less true of the better ones. However, I haven't watched enough of the original to be correct. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 18:11
- also on a pedantic technical note, several of your series are '50s-'60s. - mafic Aug 25, 18:00 1
  - Yep. -- nm - . Aug 25, 18:02
- Bewitched - Nicole Kidman looked the part, but the movie was terrible -- nm - Amoxy - 2017 Caveman Champion Aug 25, 17:51
- I feel like something is missing here. Also, I personally enjoyed (at least moderately) Dragnet and Miami Vice. But they could have been better. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 17:48
- Starsky is terrible. Utterly forgettable outside of "Do It!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 17:41
- there's a lot of subjective creeping in there. Charlie's Angels was certainly successful, Flintstones enough to get it a sequel. -- (edited) - mafic Aug 25, 17:40 1
  - LOTL was not good but it still makes me laugh, unfortunately. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 17:45
- Charlie's was be the opposite originally but changed over time. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 17:39 3
  - I went in expecting to hate it but was surprised and impressed. Largely from Sam Rockwell. -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 17:51 1
    - He is dreamy. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Aug 25, 17:55
  - For sure. It was almost amazing upon first viewing. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Aug 25, 17:49
- Chaka, you asshole -- nm - zork Aug 25, 17:38
- ah crap, of course I should have refreshed first. damn that McCain news. :( -- nm - Jovian Aug 25, 17:36
- Ehh.. I would say only M:I is a success. - Marlowe Aug 25, 17:34 8
  - Jump Streets are fantastic. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 17:36 7
    - To my money, they are barely watchable, and that just because of Ice Cube. - Marlowe Aug 25, 17:41 6
      - We are 180 degrees apart on this. 22 has one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 17:58
      - As a straight adaptation of the series, maybe, but on their own terms they're fantastic -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 17:42 4
        
        I think I can count the times I laughed in both films in one semi-closed hand. - Marlowe Aug 25, 17:44 3

        I'm closing in on Stage 5. -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 17:54
        
        I never watched the series and have not seen the movies. I'm not bothered by that. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 17:46
Sen. John McCain, RIP -- nm - znufrii, promoted Aug 25, 17:24 10

- f**k cancer. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 25, 17:54 1
  - Yeah Cancer sucks -- nm - amoxy - 2017 Caveman Champion Aug 25, 18:24
