It was unbelievable. The first time I saw it, I sort of processed it as just a collection of scenes. And THEN, they took the unprecedented step of releasing it on VHS REALLY fast.
I still know the WORDS to that movie. "king of the wicker people," for instance. Or "You wanna get nuts?!"
"you ever dance with the devil in the pale moon LIGHT? I always ask that of all my prey."
I think that was probably like, IT. That was IT.
On par was Jurassic Park, and The Crow, and Terminator 2 (which was one of the first R rated films I saw: my mom went to see it, and then came and got me, and had a talk with me about the nuke scene, and then she saw it again with me.
I'm a film geek, now. Also, i know that Nolan's films are better in many ways.
But still... That was THe THANG.
