Oh, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Such an entertaining film. Isn't Tubi wonderful? :)Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-75047668345341828042023-01-23T09:04:15.110-08:002023-01-23T09:04:15.110-08:00You'll be happy to know that I've finally ...You'll be happy to know that I've finally picked up the challenge baton - see https://www.filmsfrombeyond.com/2023/01/that-70s-sci-fi-tv-movie-part-one-love.html (Although, as if I don't have enough on my plate already, I chose to make it into a five-parter instead of a single post.) P.S.: I did manage to see the 36th Chamber (thanks TUBI!), and as you say, it's ingenious and a big cut above the martial arts movies of the time.Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-74051725019319624822022-11-21T20:12:58.796-08:002022-11-21T20:12:58.796-08:00You won't want to step into a hospital after s...You won't want to step into a hospital after seeing Coma. I think it was my first introduction to existential horror. Highly recommended, though. My enjoyment of Animal House has waned somewhat over the years, but I couldn't leave it off, just the same. <br /><br />No hurry regarding the challenge. It took me 8 months to respond to Gill's challenge, but better late than never. ;) But seriously, there's no pressure!

It reminds me that I really ...Amazing list, barry! <br />It reminds me that I really should see animal House, even though I've purposely avoided it all these years. Also, it reminds me that I've been wanting to see coma but have constantly missed the opportunity. <br /><br />Thanks for the challenge and I'll get back to you on that. I believe I still owe Gill a review from a previous challenge. John L.

I'm looking forward to seeing your picks, so I can add some more movies to my watch list. :) As for the '78 films that you mentioned, I'm fairly confident that you'll enjoy them.

Since there's a surfeit of '50s films on my site, I think I'll go for the '70s. As for your list, you effectively illustrate what a banner year 1978 was! Your list is yet another challenge: I've never seen Patrick, which I need to rectify; ditto for Piranha, which I've got in the queue of one my streaming services but still haven't watched; and you've sold me on The 36th Chamber, which I've never heard of, but now need to see!Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-62827693070220786942022-11-21T10:16:50.509-08:002022-11-21T10:16:50.509-08:00Great list sand seen some and added a few to my to...Great list sand seen some and added a few to my to watch list, was worth the wait.
