Movieing On - Movies from 1999 or Earlier

The time has come to review this, the 1962 animated movie Gay Purr-ee, as recommended by Andrew Moir. To say that we liked it would be a lie, so we won’t.

It’s that time of the week again, where we sit down to discuss a movie from 1999 or earlier. This time around, the time has come for us to discuss Romancing the Stone, a lovely 1984 movie starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas and way too many other people and events and story lines to keep straight.

Another week, another movie. This time around, we travel all the way back to the early 70s and look into the scandal that cost Richard Nixon his presidency. The movie, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman is, of course, All The President’s Men. Also, we get a visitor to the show in the shape of one of the founding members who hasn’t been on the show for the past 150 episodes or so. Jack Marshall is here to give us his thoughts and opinions.

Unfortunately, we’re two-manning today’s episode, but the quality in movie makes up for the lack of hosts – or so we want to believe. The movie, of course, is the 1974 Mel Brooks absurdist commentary on society, Blazing Saddles.

Today, we’re covering the 1988 classic My Neighbour Totoro from Studio Ghibli. It’s a movie beloved by all, so how did it measure up when the Movieing On crew dissected it using their well trained eyes and minds?

This week on Movieing On, the guys fly over to California and spend some time in The Valley, examining the weird and wonderful plumage and mating rituals of the native wildlife.
