was Damnation Alley (1977)
m.imdb.com/title/tt0075909/ starring the Landmaster Amphibious Armoured Personnel Carrier (and also George Peppard, Jan-Michael Vincent, and Paul Winfield). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmast
If you grew up in Southern California in the 70s and 80s, you saw the Landmaster parked in full view at Dean Jefferies' shop on Cahuenga Blvd near Universal Studios.

is They Live (1988) m.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/

I used to think this was a fun escape. Maybe not so much anymore. Is it easier to believe we've been infiltrated by aliens wanting to control and consume us, or that 0.01% of our own species are doing it?

was Sleuth (1972)
m.imdb.com/title/tt0069281/

I like movies based on plays where you can see exactly what it would have looked like on stage.

This 1972 film includes some language that wouldn't be remotely acceptable now, so be advised.

is Three Days of the Condor (1975) which I think I last saw in 1992. I enjoy a movie where not everything is explained as it's happening. m.imdb.com/title/tt0073802/

is "His Girl Friday" (1940). The Pomplamoose song "Expiration Date" samples some dialog but I've never seen it.

was Stowaway (2021). And because I've been reading science fiction since I started reading, I knew what form the end had to take, even if I didn't guess the specifics.

is Time Bandits (1981) which I've not seen in a very long time.
The fifteen minutes of fiddling with Plex and re-syncing the subtitles file is just getting annoying though.

via the Plex randomizer is...
m.imdb.com/title/tt2239822/
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

Featuring the most spectacular opening sequence ever. Well, maybe not ever, but 1000 years of first contact set to “Space Oddity“? It’s perfect.

was (Prime Video) based on @5ciFiGirl's recommendation (starbase80.wtf/@5ciFiGirl/1095) after I'd talked about a different time-loop movie last week.

The Fare is intriguing, romantic, tragic, clever, and overall a nice way to spend an evening.

m.imdb.com/title/tt7293920/
The Fare (2018)
