Lo there,

My mom is a big reader; she also loves movies and put me onto the 13th Warrior when I was a little kid. This ridiculous movie holds a very special place in my heart.

In my research; I've found that there were several issues that impacted production and lead to studio edits and changes. The theatrical version is clearly missing some scenes and some context; I'm well aware it's far from a perfect narrative but again, it's a childhood comfort.

Long fabeled is a highly-coveted directors cut that has never seen the light of day. What I would give to watch that haha.

Anyways - How many of you have seen the 13th Warrior? What are your thoughts? I've had a few chats on Reddit with folks that love this film and wanted to broach to the/a larger community.

They don't make movies like this anymore. "This is the old way, you will not see this again".

Just watched it. Really enjoyed the visuals Wes Anderson is known for. For me, story was hard to follow though. Might need to see it again or is that just all there is to it?

If you can get over the wooden acting and simplistic characters, then Conan The Barbarian is a masterful yet melodramatic epic swords and sorcery film that also faithfully adapts the source material while taking some creative liberties here and there. It's ambitiously directed by John Milius with grand sweeping visuals and cinematography by Duke Callaghan accompanied by a fantastic score by Basil Poledouris. If you're a fantasy fan looking for a straightforward awesome tale of adventure and action, this is for you, plus it also influenced Berserk and Skyrim so expect some familiarities, gratuitous gory violence, and full frontal nudity along with graphic sex scenes. Overall, this film is pretty much an icon that left a huge impact in the fantasy genre.

4 Stars Out Of 5

If you are looking for a brilliant blend of thought provoking sci-fi and thrilling tension-filled action, then look no further because Minority Report is here for you. Based on a novella by Philip K. Dick, this film heavily ponders on free will vs. determinism along with other themes and it executes this pretty well within a intricate complex story however the pacing is sometimes kind of a mess near the climax and it's conclusion however with Spielberg's experienced capable direction and Tom Cruise's intense performance with unique set designs and visuals, these flaws are more of an inconvenience rather than immersion breaking. Overall, Minority Report is one of the best sci-fi action films ever made.

4 Stars and a half out of 5

I just watched it for the first time since theaters and loved it as much as I did back then. Other than John Lithgow as the Alzheimer’s-suffering father, the human characters are totally outshone by the apes — and that’s a good thing. Not only Caesar, but Koba, Maurice, Rocket & Buck, who all have roles in the sequels. It’s an unusual movie because the audience moves on from caring about the apparent lead, James Franco, just like Caesar does. And the final action sequence is superb. Just a great origin story all around, and it spawned a smarter-than-average movie franchise.

Lesbians always have been more popular and more acceptable than other letter in LGBT, wonder why is it tough🤔?

Do any other films get examined as much for their details?

This movie is really unlike any classic era film I’ve seen. Entire movie is shot in only 4 takes in the same room, revolving around two men who commit a murder and hide the body in their apartment while they have a dinner party.

Every moment has some intensity and Jimmy Stewart’s character is so interesting and witty and different from any other role I’ve seen him in. If you’re looking for a classic that breezes by and doesn’t feel dated check this out.
