Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
Oscar: Another fun 1970s movie that I’ve seen many times. I do like Burt Reynolds in comedies because he seemed not so full of himself like he was on interviews. Sally field is always solid onscreen. According to mentalfloss.com, Jackie Gleason (Buford T. Justice) ad libbed most if not all of his lines..showing what a…

H.R. Pufnstuf (1969)
Oscar: Well it was a wild time to be a kid in the 60’s/70’s.. This show had to have been created while everyone involved was stoned…there is no other logical explanation!!! H.R. Pufinstuf was prime pre-adolescent viewing back in the day…of course than was when we had 3 channels. Emmy: Oscar is right about being…

Back to the Future (1985)
(click on title) Oscar: I must say this is a great movie. A very entertaining film for all ages. It was the highest grossing film of 1985 and it is easy to see why. Directed by and co-written by Robert Zemeckis, this time traveling joy ride between a typical 80s teenager (Michael J. Fox) and…

The Exorcist (1973)
Oscar: As I mentioned from the prior post (A Quiet Place) and even MORE SO in THIS movie, the mood that the film set in the beginning as the clock on the wall was ticking and the priest asked what the idol they found meant, the other archeologist said “evil versus evil” and suddenly the…

A Quiet Place (2018)
Oscar: Happy Father’s Day all you dads!!! This is a pretty good modern horror/monster film….Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 96% with audience rating is 83%. Since the monsters in the film were blind, only noise could lead them to their prey. The characters in the film all used American Sign Language to communicate since they…

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
click on title Oscar: Another GREAT film starring Jack Nicholson!! I’ve watched this movie too many times -haha but I love everything about it..even the ending was poetic. Emmy: Totally agree with Oscar!! One of my top ten favorite movies.

Young Frankenstein (1974)
(click on title for comic) Oscar: The ONLY Mel Brooks movie that tops this one for me is Blazing Saddles. It may be a controversial statement here, but one of the BEST things about the film to me is that it is in black and white..a great homage to the old monster Universal films back…

The Brady Bunch (1969)
(click on title) Oscar: This one was requested and it was fun to write and illustrate!! The good old football to the nose episode!!!

The Partridge Family (1970)
Oscar: The Partridge family was yet another great show created in the 70s. The best part about the show for me was the love/hate relationship between Danny (Bonaduce) and Keith (David Cassidy) providing some of the funniest scenes in my opinion. I grew up with six brothers so I totally understood the relationship!!! Emmy: I…

The Shining (1980)
Oscar: This movie is definitely in the top 3 favorites for me. The maniacal genius who is Stanley Kubrick created a vibe in this movie that makes the hairs on your arm stand straight up as soon as you enter the Outlook Hotel (The Stanley Hotel in real life). I’ve seen this movie many times…
