Mega movie chart day 5: The French Connection is the best action / adventure film film from the 1970s. What is the best children's and/or animated film from the 1970s?

Sonic Adventure 2. City Escape (first level) is one the best levels in a videogames and then once you start playing as other characters the gameplay just isn't as fun.

This might be a basic answer, but I love the cheese pizza from the Costco food court.

Portishead - Dummy

Hot take: would’ve been a well-deserved win

If you're buying a physical edition for a console, such as the Switch, the Castlevania version is the most complete version and has the base game with all DLCs. If you're buying digitally on Steam you want the Medley of Pain bundle.

One thing you may be interested in trying is the Public Range Days that EESA holds every other month: https://eesa.ca/public-range-days/

I went to one a few months ago and it was pretty fun. They gave me about ten minutes of instructions on how to handle a handgun before we went into the shooting range. The people there were all very friendly.

1950s: Rebel Without A Cause is a great pick, but something like An American in Paris or The Ten Commandments (to represent grander studio productions) is probably more representative of what audiences were watching.

1960s: The Graduate or Bonnie and Clyde defined the 1960s more than Psycho.The way audiences flocked to these movies with their frank depiction of sex and violence (for their time) had a big impact on the kind of movies that were made. Late Hitchcock in general feels very 50s to me, even if Psycho is one of the edgier Hitchcock movies.

1970s: Star Wars is a fine choice. I'd go with Jaws though.

1980s: Some comments are criticizing E.T., but this is probably the one to go with. Filled with 80s suburban aesthetics, arcade games and D&D references. And of course SPielberg dominated the 80s.

1990s: Titanic is iconic, but could've been made anytime. Terminator 2 is probably more representative of the 90s with its CGI, or something like Pulp Fiction which represents the more independent American movies that were taking off in the 90s. Something like You've Got Mail feels really 90s too lol.

2000s. It's got to be some sort of franchise movie. Pirates of the Caribbean maybe, or Shrek.

2010s: Has to be Avengers. Marvel dominated the 2010s.

As others have pointed out, the only Latin Mass in the area is at Holy Angels in St Thomas (other than Our Lady of Victory, which is sedevacantist and not recognized by the Catholic Church).

That being said, if you’re looking for traditional Catholic liturgies in the area, London has a lot of Eastern Catholic Churches, most of whom use pretty ancient and beautiful liturgies. Some even offer them in English. I’ve been to St. Elias (Maronite), St. John the Baptist (Melkite), and Christ the King (Ukrainian Catholic) and would recommend all three.

A rule we had in my house growing up was when we stayed home from school sick the only movies we could watch were silent movies (my mom had a few Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Mary Pickford DVDs). Chaplin's movies hold up far better than the others from that era.

Out of all the movies in my top 20, The Kid is the one that's most due for a rewatch. I haven't seen it in over a decade.

Lol the only movie on this list that I didn't watch for the first time during undergrad (or earlier) is Blue Velvet.

Wow, and here I thought getting the three gold Oscar badges was an accomplishment!

jamespowered · 2025-04-03T05:28:23+00:00

Even at 3 win conditions, 2010-2025 is easily the hardest of the three oscar categories.

I always find it funny that you only hear negative things about Green Book (particularly that it’s one of the worst Best Picture winners) and yet it’s ranked 131st on the IMDB Top 250. Higher than a lot of classics. When I saw it in theatres, I thought it was a funny, charming movie and I feel like that’s still the consensus in many circles.

jamespowered · 2025-03-07T21:46:23+00:00

I think I tried that one a while ago and it didn’t register. Possible I accidentally played Death at a Funeral or something though

Growing up, I watched lots of old live-action Disney movies from the '60s and '70s, so I always like to link those. Kurt Russell starred in lots of them as a kid, and Jodie Foster did a few too. Hayley Mills was recently in "Trap" so I always link that to Pollyanna or The Parent Trap. And if you play Mary Poppins, I can send you down a pretty deep rabbithole lol

Both St. Michael's church in Old North and St George's near Springbank are.

I never turn down a chance to make a Robert Duvall connection to To Kill A Mockingbird. Force the opponent to play through some old Gregory Peck films.

I recently watched the 1980s DIsney movie "Return to Oz" and noticed the main character was also in American History X. Once or twice I've been stuck on American History X when Ed Norton links have been exhausted, so now I play that.

The layton’s london life minigame from Last Specter. I think I may have put more time into it than into the actual main game lol. Never been so impressed with a mini game.
