Movies you'd forgotten were really cool?

[sbrothy]

Seeing how Clint Eastwood is 95 by now I got in the mood and put on The Unforgiven (1992). I was positively surprised by the small things I didn't notice when I watched it many years ago as a naive cowpoke. Now I know being fascinated by guns isn't cool in these #metoo days, but there are a lot of details I missed. Maybe out of being intoxicated when I watched it originally (I swear I've seen it multiple times it just doesn't seem that way when I watch it again.), or maybe I was just too young to pick up the nuances. I'm sure there are a ton of other old goodies I should rewatch.

What movie have you forgotten that deserves a rerun?

By definition I can't remember any of them.

Hah. Yeah. It kinda deserved that treatment. Don't know what came over me. Nostalgia attack I think.

EDIT: What's even more ironic is that I didn't notice that the link I provided was focused on guns! I apologize for that. Dunno where that came from.

Our memories are flexible and change with time. Each time we watch the same movie, we see a little more detail, that we do not remember from the previous viewings. The information we extract, by watching something n times, or by staring at something for n units of time, appears to be proportional to √n.

We will remember a caricature of what we want to remember. Given time, the human brain is the only thing that can reconcile the irreconcilable.

Since we moved to the Santa Cruz Mountains and now use a wood stove during the cold winter months, I've been reminded of a movie that I liked a lot for its fundamental message many years ago, "Quest for Fire". That's how I feel every day when I split wood for an hour and build the fire each night. I'm going to have to go back and watch that film again to remind me of why I liked it so much...
