My Darling Clementine (compared with other Wyatt Earp movies
Absolutely my favorite Western. It is not accurate.
Despite its problems, THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE (1951) is still worthwhile.
MRS. MINIVER (1942) is very watchable and a terrific lesson on Allied propaganda and the horrors British civilians faced during the blitz.

The phrase "primal scream" (the definition of which I actually did not know at the time) used by the critic reviewing Lennon's solo debut indelibly stuck in my mind like doggie-doo on the bottom of a sho . . .
In the first 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide, the critic reviewing LENNON's albums when discussing Plastic Ono Band pointed out that the "primal scream" dated the record (then only 8 years old). Yet whoever that critic was gave Plastic Ono Band five stars. The last Rolling Stone Album Guide (as it now styles itself...2005?) also awarded the album five stars. For what it's worth. It's also worth pointing out that nobody ever liked Sometime In New York City... both LENNON and McCARTNEY took major swipes for solo albums. Sgt Pepper rates higher in the later book than in the first. I've always found music criticism interesting, but never compelling. Perhaps informative.

* When John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was released, one critic described it as one, loud, long primal scream.
And I thought you didn't care what any critic had to say...

IMO, their worst song
Listening now. I have long loved that as a favorite BEATLES. I bought a copy on vinyl of RARITIES around 1980 mainly to own it (not having that 45). Maybe I love it because it's their worst song.

As far as milestones go, Paul & Linda McCartney's RAM (1971) is considered a precursor of the indie pop genre
Sounds fair. Back in the day I had all of PAUL's records through McCARTNEY 2 ( when I gave up ) and not Wildlife. But when I transitioned also to CD, I ensured copies of three of PAUL's: McCartney Ram Band On The Run... I'm listening to Ram now.

I would not describe the Hammer Horrors as "remakes" but I suppose they are... in a way. They don't hold up too well for me, but I always found them hokey.

Ranks by who? You? Well, then make that opinion clear!
Well, there's no accounting for tastes, is there?
Blah blah blah. Nice tone. Yes, it's my opinion. I am sorry to confuse you regarding my re-use of your word "ranks" or "rates". Yes, any opinion I express is my own. PLASTIC ONO BAND is one of the greatest records in any category.
We agree, though, on one point. There is no accounting for taste.

According to Wikipedia, "[Please Please Me] was released in the UK on 11 January 1963 and reached No. 1 on the New Musical Express and Melody Maker charts."
Yeah, okay, and? NME and Melody Maker are and were British magazines... I wrote in the "UK"...

Yeah, I don't care about the rankings of . . . well, anything. My tastes are not swayed or shaped by ratings, rankings, and others' opinions. I like what I like and don't like what I don't like.
Ratings? I expressed my opinion, no "rankings" or "ratings" other than my own. My favorite solo BEATLES record, easily.

clutch their pearls over "Baby, It's Cold Outside,"
Long sigh... deep breath... nobody wears pearls anymore...
"Standin' On The Corner" is not only SO correct, as in nature, it's practically biological.
And it's a classic of American Pop.
