Escape!

[Bayard]

In these precarious and scary times, what are your favorite Escape From Reality movies? I go for SciFi. I've probably seen Alien and Aliens hundreds of times, the Terminator and Star Wars movies. Old classics like the original War Of The Worlds. Cowboys And Aliens is a newer favorite. Out of this world!

2. We watched Schindler's List on Friday & Saturday

We watched it with our boys, ages 10 & 13. They knew a little about The Holocaust, and my older son has discussed it in school, but we wanted them to see this telling of it.

Also, we wanted to remind them why it's not merely "ok" to punch a Nazi: it's good and proper.

6. very well done indeed

I was already crushing on McAvoy, who impressed me in a movie saw on Netflix

7. I saw him in "Victor Frankenstein", with Daniel Radcliffe as Igor.

That was an interesting movie. But "Split" is in a whole different league.
I can see why you would be crushing on him!

8. Dissapearance of Eleanor Rigby

strange, when I looked in IMDB to remember the name, I did not realize there was more than one of these movies

9. Sometimes movies, but right now I'm watching old Man from U.N.C.L.E. shows

The old shows are MUCH better than the movie recently out - even if Robert Vaughn was a jerk, David McCallum more than makes up for him. It's also fun to see some of the big stars when they were younger. An episode I watched earlier today had Angela Lansbury playing a character that seemed to be a spoof of the Gabor sisters.

As for movies, I love cheap SciFi - the Tremors series is one of my favorites - completely mindless with a bit of humor. A few weeks ago one of the channels ran The Twonky with Hans Conreid. I've been saving it to watch at just the right time. I've also got The Martian on DVR waiting to be watched again and a lot of series - Victoria, the last season of Sherlock from BBC, and more.
