Can't find a clip but in "Annie" (1982) just after escaping the clutches of Rooster and tearing up the check, notice the railroad boxcar in the back. There were NO 50 foot Hydra cushion frame variety in 1933! Another mistake is painfully obvious, Punjab looking down from the helicopter. The miniature set is laughable - can see the SLOT in the middle of the street (used a slot car). (coupled with the modern city skyline at night)

I've mentioned one a little while back. http://forums.tcm.com/topic/259870-time-rider-1982-movie-blunder/?tab=comments#comment-2022495 While looking for some photos from the Munsters TV series, came across this. Stage hand wearing a T shirt. The Gods must be watching over him. Ow watch those doorways. Another movie prop (helmet) that had a useful function.

Should General Discussions focus only on older films?

It's sad old school animation are frowned upon to the younger generation vs CGI. Remake "Snow White", hope not. -

Was trying to make a point, films i.e. "Jurassic Park" is OLD to the last generation but is it suitable for TCM. "Lets Dance" and "Saturday Night Fever" are equally ancient to them. -

How about comparing movie take vs production cost? https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/budgets -

What is an older film to a 18 year old? -

Just shows what a little renovation can do. The Munster's house Before... ..after.. -
Found out what scared the crap out of me when I was between 6 or 7. Being at such a young age, my perception was off thinking it was a gorilla / tarsier hybrid. Must had tuned in after the opening and turned my head and changed channel after seeing that! Took 59 years to resolved the movie title mystery. "Black Sunday" (1960) This is why memory recollect cannot be relied on while witnessing anything while being so young.

A little revealing isn't it? -
Sure looks like him. Was that why he was chosen for "Six Bridges to Cross" (1955)? Reason why I'm posting this is I'm watching "Mysteries at The Museum - Smoking Guns". The guards said the masks were grotesque. Really?

An alternate response would had been....Don't worry the ground will catch you.

Darth Maul had a memorial service to remember, they played "I Fall To Pieces".

"Madeline" (1998) Spanish Ambassador....Ladies, may I present the reason we have opened to your our home: our birthday boy, Monsieur Jose Marco Filipo Juan Franloco Lopez de Vega Esteban Machado Jorge Santiago de la Rocha Gaspar Carlos de Fuentes Coruna Diego et Sevilla! Of course, his friends call him Pepito. Was there ENOUGH room on his birth certificate??

During the enhancement of the scene, someone pointed out that was before Jabba got lazy and fat from eating all those big greasy slugs. Lame excuse since he was quite fat in Episode I. Question, how did the Hutts ever got the first "manned" rocket off the ground or their first airplane??
-
This conversation about enhancing older movies with CGI got me thinking about "South Park - Free Hat". After watching the new directors cut of "Raiders of The Lost Ark", everyone either melted or exploded. Cartman said...Man, that new version must have sucked *****!

Ships are class like our navy... Frigates, destroyer, and dreadnought. (The word dreadnought is also used to describe some of our historic battleships) Technically its a Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. Venator Class Star Destroyer from the Republic era (Episode III) Nebulon-B escort frigate Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought (First Order)

Looks more like Buck Rogers disco.

George Lucas was smart and insightful placing the plot in a galaxy far far away. Poor Milky Way, bet those in the Star Wars galaxy is looking back at us and saying..Those poor people on that planet, must be very lonely.
-
You should know George Lucas had budget, time and technical constraints. He wanted to convey his original concept but couldn't. Try to do Episode I in 1977! Star Wars barely got to the silver screen, other studios turned it down with later regrets. Stargate Atlantis with the better improved "smoke ring".
-
Before the film's release I got the LP soundtrack which included a poster. Count the mistakes!
-
I purchased it when it came out on (was a long awaited event then) on the CED videodisc. After the player went to the landfill, got the DVD Trilogy box set. Kept the CED and a couple others for memories. Episode IV, 42 years old and not rebooted - I'm stunned.

Was it really necessary to remove the Wizard of Oz thread.

Clerk needs to watch the movie, and pay attention to the MAIN TITLE!
