Scary: Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman, and of course, 'Rosemary's Baby' , the original.
Funny: Hocus Pocus
Fun: Johnny Depp's 'Sleepy Hollow', by Tim Burton
All Round: Disney's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' with Jason Robards and durable bad guy Jonathan Pryce.
Some may know of the urgent need for about $150MM to restore and maintain this gem. It's been given a funding tax by the City but will it be enough? Hope so.
My mom left here, by herself, to go to California in 1940 to be with my Dad who was in Army training in California. He'd dropped out of...
Wow! Does that thing still work? Can you get it serviced? That's vacuum tube technology. It's hard to believe anyone is still around who can work on these.
Our local network stations would begin broadcasting around 5:30 or 6:00 AM; the test pattern (the sign) would abruptly disappear as a film clip of the American flag running up a flagpole appeared to the sounds of the Star Spangled Banner played 'quick time'. What followed was usually the farm...
Assuming anyone posting born before 1960 something only had black and white TV, how many stations could you get? We lived in a rural suburb of Cincinnati, and got three local 'network' stations, one Public Broadcasting station and on a clear day and no solar flares, might pull in a Dayton, OH...

Of course I remember seeing the annual broadcast of The Wizard of Oz and those flying monkeys scared the poop out of me until my teens.
Has anyone else seen this? I saw a reference to it on some forum thread and took a dare that Amazon might have it and it did. The forum comment said the vintage propoganda movie (circa 1944?) was not great acting but the resemblences of the actors to their contemporary counterparts was...
To the OP, sulfa drugs and everything I now take as a heart attack survivor. I suppose I'd miss life most since I would not have survived my last heart attack without a cath lab and stents.
You're in Scotland or whatever it will soon be...Zib is probably ok. If you were Stateside, www.atthefront.com would be the easiest place to get a good copy. Both probably made by Sturm.
After so many years of reading it, I believe the only folks who would want to live in an earlier time are those without enough imagination or information. And yet, see the website I post on....
