Freud’s Last Session:
… since you brought up Jeff Bridges … may I recommend The Fisher King (script by Richard LaGravenese, Directed by the great Terry Gilliam)
The following is one of my favorite runs of movie dialogue …
Parry (Robin Williams) - They came to me about a year ago.
I was sitting on the john having one
of the most satisfying bowel
movements – you know the ones –
where you just see God… And I saw
them… just floating around…
hundreds of these… cute little fat
people… And they spoke. They said
“I” was chosen to help them get back
something very important they lost.
But my part might be very dangerous.
I said “Whoah”… slow down… ya
start hearing voices from floating
little fat people that tell you
you’re on a mission for God and you
wind up in a mini-series. Then they
said “Look in Architecture Today, Feb
'88… page 33…” …
Jack (Jeff Bridges): The Holy Grail? Some billionaire has
the Holy Grail sitting in a commode
on Madison Avenue?
Parry: I know! You can’t imagine how
surprised I was. Who would think you
could find anything divine on the
Upper East Side.
If anyone doubts William’s acting chops this film and Good Will Hunting should remove that doubt.
The scene where Grand Central Station is transformed into a ballroom is transcendental.

A real enjoyable movie, Newman was great and I believe this was Jessica Tandy’s last role before passing away. Anyone who’s ever worked construction will appreciate the realism of it, also it’s funny and heartwarming. A good watch.

… If memory serves Gilliam was responsible for the scene you mention. 
Oh of course. TG was/is a genius.
12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing, Baron Munchausen, Doctor Parnassus, I love his stuff.

a couple of classics,I love “Network”, lots of great acting and good lines.
I dropped SoF elsewhere in the forum with my personal thoughts on it.
I’m more skeptical to the project,with the links to WEF / Mex mafia on the producer side.
But the movie is watchable.
And how close are we not to “Equilibrium” today?
I remember watching this upon release thinking it was,thank God, years and years ahead,but here we are.

THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS
Very solid John Carpenter film, bit of a weak ending but well directed. Most interesting thing is the advent of a Satanic A.I. through the Church and how it is an “influencer” on the environment, insects and cult-like homeless, but scientists can’t seem to understand it and their obliviousness unleashes it. Emergency broadcast warnings from the future through dreams is another nice element.
Parodies allways reveal more and more.Don’t they? 
And that dramatic music…
Have anyone else downloaded the “Old movies” app?
There’s a bunch of movies there from way back, (duh!) but I don’t really have information on them, so if you have seen the menu and have some recommendations, I’d appreciate it lots.
Sci-Fi from the 40’s and 50’s; surely there’s some funny ones there?
And if there’s some good Buster Keaton movies maybe?
Have a nice day!
Archive.org has a library of old films, search by name of the movie, put “archive” in front of the title.

A movie that was mentioned by Joseph in a vidchat some months ago; Brotherhood of the bell, which is also the name of one of his splendid books.
Classic movie, conspiracy themed; what’s not to like?

I liked this joint. It’s not many actors that would’ve taken on these roles today I think.
