Director: Wolfgang Petersen | Stars: Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver, Tami Stronach, Gerald McRaney
Votes: 156,766 | Gross: $20.16M
When I was told about this movie, I didn't know ANYTHING about it! I'm glad I saw this when it was in theaters. The second one wasn't as good. The third one I'm avoiding due to VERY NEGATIVE REVIEWS. So (like some series of films), the first is the best you can get.

Votes: 575,617 | Gross: $214.95M

Votes: 343,635 | Gross: $154.70M
Not as good as the first X-Men movies, but not bad overall. I wouldn't bother seeing "FANT4STIC" (2015) due to VERY NEGATIVE REVIEWS. So far, I've seen this 2005 movie once and looking forward to seeing it again, whenever I'm ready. I might also see "Rise of the Silver Surfer", as well.

Votes: 1,385,494 | Gross: $760.51M
Before seeing the extended version, I've seen it once in the theater and once on Blu-ray and I agree that it's overrated. At least, there are enough good moments and stuff. My third time seeing it was the extended version, which I think added more to the theatrical version.

I've seen parts of this in the early '80s. My first time in seeing the whole movie was on The Disney Channel. I got this on a Twilight Time release when it was $35 and it was the best way to experience the sound and picture quality of this enjoyable classic. I sold it for $41.

My first time was on a Good Times VHS with generic background music that doesn't fit in. Then I saw it on TV with a rock-pop soundtrack, which fits in better. My next time could be on blu-ray.

Director: Kerry Conran
Votes: 221
The short film included in the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the next film on this list. The blu-ray version doesn't fill the whole wide screen (like a "box in a box"). Maybe a future release will fill the screen???

I thought it would be worse than the 2010 version of "Clash of the Titans". Maybe I've managed to get passed the flaws and it turned out to be better than what I expected! Now, I gotta watch the 1981 movie, which I now have on blu-ray.

Years ago (before there were DVDs), I was sorta considering watching this. Then years passed, as if I've forgotten about this movie. But then, what I didn't expect, there was a limited edition on blu-ray, where ONLY 1000 COPIES were made and signed by one of the actors in the movie named George Stover. I've managed to get one at the cheapest price I could get (about $20). When I saw the movie for my first time, I've found it fun to watch. Now that all 1000 copies are sold out, sellers are charging a lot. I happen to sold mine for $20+ more than what I've paid for!

I've seen a few parts of this years ago (maybe when I was a kid in the '70s). In my high school years in English class, I've read the book. Then I saw the whole movie (maybe on TNT). NOW, I got the Twilight Time blu-ray, for about as cheap as I could get it (about $33). I sold it for a couple of dollars less than what I've paid for. At least, I've made an investment on the few other limited edition blu-rays I've managed to get.
