I grew up with these great Disney animations, which are an amazing art form, and I think one of the best of all the Disney animations has to be Fantasia.
I agree...but only for the old animated movies. The classic Disneys (Snow White, Fantasia, Cinderella, etc.) were literally works of art created by hand, cell by cell. Today's "animated movies" are all created by computers, with minor technical input from humans. I'm sure the studios churn them out by the dozens because there's almost no overhead to make them and they know they can suck 90% of the world's children into watching them.
And somehow, it rankles me to pay money to see a long cartoon, too.

I'm on board with that one too,
Just one frame of that film is enough to spin my wheels... I use this one as a "desk top":

Another movie that is re-watchable is No Country for Old Men. Javier Bardem played the quintessential bad guy. Also, my wife and I like to watch the Thin Man and its sequels at New Years.

That movie to me was more scary than anything I have ever seen. Javier is the essence of pure evil in that show and when he is walking around with that Co2 gun, it is worse than someone walking around with a chainsaw or knife. Good choice -- I'll have to watch that one again!

But I am partial to animation. At one time I had every DVD Disney put out of their big movies and some cartoon short collections. Then after Walt was gone they started turning out not so great stuff like an automatic donut machine so I stopped buying them.

I loved the Disney cartoon about cars/driving and Goofy turned into
a homicidal maniac when driving. I was about 8 or nine when I first
saw that on TV and laughed and laughed.

Jeremiah Johnson or Appocolypse Now.
"Apocalypse Now" is sitting on my desk right now awaiting a second viewing. It is a long movie and finding that much time to watch is why it is still sitting there.

Do you by any chance have the sound track from the modern version of the movie? (Metropolis) It is in the top 10 of all albums I have. Adam Ant and Bonnie Tyler are awesome on this recording.

Good one -- would watch that again (I think I've seen it about 3 times but not for a long time).

A real oldie that when it is on always captures my attention is Sargent York, W/Gary Cooper.
Jack Reacher W/Tom Cruise, although not a Tom Cruise fan.
The Natural W/Robert Redford.
To name a few

I've been avoiding watching "Jack Reacher" because I can't visualize Cruise as Reacher who in the books is a 6' 1" guy weighing 225 lbs. and built like Rocky. Cruise is 5'6". It is suppose to air on TV tonight so I may look in to see how they overcome this problem. I'm not a Cruise fan either, but have to give him credit for a fine performance in "Top Gun".
