Yea. That movie is amazing. From my understanding they filmed most of the underwater stuff inside an abandoned nuclear plant or something? A big budget sci-fi movie would never be made today with so much practical effects.
For years it wasn't even available on blu-ray. I just checked Amazon, though, and now it is (also 4K).

I might actually have to buy that.

And I would consider The Abyss, T2 and Jurassic Park as being the films with the biggest effects breakthroughs of the last 35 years. They all made massive digital breakthroughs.

Especially T2. I remember seeing it for the first time in the theater. When the T-1000 poured itself into the helicopter and reformed, I said to myself "They can do anything now." That was a watershed moment.

Another interest note on The Abyss - I've actually had the helmet (or one of the helmets) that Ed Harris used in the movie on my head. My buddy who deals in movie memorabilia acquired it and had it for a few weeks before flipping it. That was cool.

Very cool! I think there is a documentary out there about the making of it?

But the legend has alway been that Cameron was a dickhead and Harris and Mastrantonio don’t talk about the experience of making it. But they both gave tremendous performances.

CB4 (1993) Use to make me laugh until I cried.

NSFW

Watched this recently again and the fact that they actually had that rat breathing liquid oxygen (and that it survived) still blows my mind.

The early CGI it employed still holds up and was the progenitor for the groundbreaking stuff in T2 and everything else that came later.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend sticking to the theatrical release. The director's cut throws in a brewing war subplot that adds absolutely nothing and detracts from the main story.

And if you ever run into Ed Harris, don't ask him about this movie. Cameron basically tried to drown him multiple times during the movie's production and he apparently had a serious problem with that.
I had nightmares when the submersible went over the edge and then the sound of glass cracking with the pop when it reached crush depth.

Was a great movie!

Thought of another random one today. “Disorganized Crime”. Good little heist movie from 1989. No huge stars, unless you count Fred Gwynne, Ed O’Neil, Lou Diamond Phillips, Corbin Bernsen or Ruben Blades as huge stars. Just a fun little movie that came and went with little to no fanfare. The chemistry with these guys is great.

Vampire's Kiss (Nicolas Cage) and The River's edge (Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper)

both late 1980's

Speaking of Chris Rock... Dogma was such a great movie.

Yea. I remember that. Hadnt thought about it in decades.

Just looked it up. It’s an old Disney/Touchstone movie and they have buried a lot of those titles.

This is a good one. All of the actors were hitting on all cylinders for Dogma.

Saving Silverman used to be my favorite movie.
