THE NAKED GUN (1988), AKIRA (1988, JAPAN)



(1988)
The Naked Gun-In the early 80's, a new comedy series called Police Squad! came on television that wasn't your typical sitcom fare. It was in the broad style of the movie Airplane! (and from Airplane! creators Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers). The over the top humor of these films can be hilarious (most of Airplane!) or fall flat when not done with the right touch (most of Airplane II, without the Zuckers and Abrahams). I thought Police Squad! did have the right touch for the few episodes it was on and it also won praise as something totally different for its time. 

Unfortunately, it was a little too different to get any kind of a mass audience and was canceled after a handful of episodes. But the Zuckers and Abrahams didn't give up on the idea and the Police Squad! idea was resurrected in the full length feature The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! The silly but funny gags and the deadpan delivery of Leslie Neilsen made the movie a box office hit. It also spawned two successful sequels. The TV show that failed as a series became a very successful movie franchise!

My friend Droppo (and his baseball blog at http://atlantabraves19701980.blogspot.com/) wants to argue with me that The Naked Gun is actually a baseball movie. I understand that he sees everything through a baseball lens and I admit the scene with Leslie Neilsen enthusiastically calling balls and strikes is my favorite part of the movie. But it's not a baseball movie, Droppo.

Akira
Akira-I suppose my first experience with Japanese animation came with my viewing of the Speed Racer and Kimba the White Lion cartoons when I was a kid.  As I grew older, I began to think of these Japanese cartoons as being exaggerated and a bit silly. The later fascination of my children with Pokemon and Sailor Moon didn't help change my mind. But in going through the anime movies on this list with my son, I began to appreciate the genre. The Miyazaki films in particular and also the somber Grave of the Fireflies were all strong films.

Katsumiro Otomo's Akira is a whole different kettle of fish when compared to the Miyazaki films. I suppose Akira could be labeled as a futuristic, cyberpunk, apocalyptic, manga, action adventure extravaganza...with big monsters! I know these type of films (and their graphic novels) have their fans and I'm glad I got to watch this one, but I don't think I'll make a regular viewing habit of the genre (If I've even properly labeled what this genre even is!.)

Now where can I find some reruns of Speed Racer?

The Naked Gun and Akira may have made the 1001 list,  but here are a few more films from 1988 that I’ve seen that didn’t quite make the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die cut.

1.     The Unbearable Lightness of Being-I'm surprised this movie adaptation of Milan Kundera's book never made the 1001 book. Now that I've actually read the book, I'm wondering how they ever made a movie out of this at all! But I still love Lena Olin and her bowler hat.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
2.     Talk Radio-Movie based on the Eric Bogosian play and starring Eric Bogosian where the best thing in it is definitely Eric Bogosian!

3.     Track 29-I remember watching this with friends when it first came out on video. One of the friends said to his girlfriend who rented it after it was over, "Thanks for checking out the weirdest movie I've ever seen!" I wouldn't go that far, but a Nicholas Roeg movie with Gary Oldman and Theresa Russell has got to he a little weird.

4.     The Seventh Sign-Have a feeling this modern day tale of the apocalypse probably wouldn't date too well if  I saw it again. Demi Moore is the chosen one!

5.     Scooged-Movie featuring Bill Murray as a modern day Scrooge seems to be better thought of now than when it first was released. Bill is a favorite of mine and so is Karen Allen, so I'm prone to give this one a thumbs up.

6.     Patty Hearst-Strong and underrated Paul Schrader drama.

7.     My Neighbor Totoro-Speaking of anime...Miyazaki is well represented in the 1001 book, but I do wish they had still found room on the list for this one.
My Neighbor Totoro
8.     Midnight Run-Oddball teaming of Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin worked here (from what I remember seeing it twenty-five years ago).

9.     High Spirits-Remember those years in the late 80's when it seemed that Steve Guttenberg was in every other movie?

10. Eight Men Out-Not exactly a "feel good" baseball movie, but not everything is. Hey, Droppo! This is a baseball movie!

11. Last Temptation of Christ-Boy, this movie caused a scandal when it was released. But put up against The Passion of the Christ, I'd go with this one. Sorry, Mel.

12. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels-Have I actually seen this movie? I know I've seen clips of it so many times over the years, but maybe I just think I've seen it. No, I'm going with I've seen it and leave it at that.

13. Cocktail-And speaking of seeing a movie in segments...I've definitely seen all of this Tom Cruise movie, just not in order. TBS has shown this movie at least a gazillion time over the last twenty-five years and I'm sure I've seen it all at some point.

14. Twins-I had a friend who told me they knew someone whose favorite movie was Twins. And not that I don't like Twins, but how can it be your favorite movie?

15. Beetlejuice-Come on 1001 book editors! How can you not give a little love to Beetlejuice?
Beetlejuice
Well, it's time for me to peel off the remains of my Dukakis for President bumper sticker and leave 1988 for now. I'm sure I'll return.

SECONDS (1966)


Ted Turner's Atlanta area Superstation was the first TV channel that I ever experienced that showed movies through all hours of the night! And I watched quite a few of them growing up in the 70's. Perhaps the one I remember the most from this period was an odd film called Seconds. Perhaps the reason I remember it so well is because I only saw a portion of it, but the portion that I did see, I've never been able to shake.

Seconds is the story of a successful middle-aged man whose life has become stagnant and is given the opportunity to toss aside his old life and start anew through an operation that can gives him a different body and identity.

When I first watched this movie those thirty-plus years ago, it was kind of late at night and I fell asleep during the middle of it. So, I really only watched the first and last of it. I still liked it. Who needs the middle part, anyway? I think the dreamlike quality of this unusual movie seeping into my brain may have been aided by my falling in and out of sleep. I believe I tried to watch it again a year later and the same thing happened!

My memories of the movie over time were enhanced by the way I saw it. In fact, when I made a list a few years ago of my favorite movies, I felt obligated to put Seconds on it even if I hadn't seen the whole thing!

I can't recall it ever being on television in recent years and I never chose to seek it out. But since it is on the 1001 movie list and Criterion has put out a new DVD of it, I decided it was time.

It's funny (or maybe not so funny) that I'm now the same age as the main character in this movie. It really makes it seem odd that I was fifteen or so when I first saw it. I hopefully am not feeling the same dead end stagnation in my own life that the main character is feeling today, but it is definitely food for thought.

There are a few movies that I experience in an unusual way, but I think this is at the top of that list.So look for yourself and try not to fall asleep while watching it, but if you do that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

CHARIOTS OF FIRE (1981, GREAT BRITAIN)

 *This post has nothing to do with Chariots of Fire, I just needed a post heading.


After posting fifty different titles in the 2013 edition of the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die book, I thought the editors might take pity on those of us trying to watch all the movies on the list and not put out a 2014 edition with even more titles to go through. 

But according to the official website, it looks like thirteen more titles have been added to the body count. The list has ballooned up to 1,165 titles combined in all the editions (Give or take, depending if you want to count the Lord of the Rings or Toy Story trilogies as one title).

I've been doing this blog for five years or so and I now am at least past the half way point. Of  course, with 642 films seen since the blog began, that still leaves me with 523 to go! I did do pretty well on my predictions as to what would be in the new volume: Twelve Years a Slave, Gravity, American Hustle, The Wolf of Wall Street, Nebraska and The Act of Killing all made it in as I guessed. I did think Dallas Buyers Club would be in and it wasn't and The Great Beauty did make the list and I thought it wouldn't. Other news additions include A Touch of Sin, Blue is the Warmest Color and Blancanieves, which are titles I look forward to viewing.

But some questions before I proceed with the list. Do I still have to watch Pink Flamingos again after thirty years? And do I still have to watch some of those seemingly never ending experimental movies I haven't gotten around to yet? I'm not sure I can stand up to another Blonde Cobra. And do I really have to watch all eight plus hours of Les vampires? Of course, these questions can only be answered by me, since it is my blog. That thought is at least a little empowering, thought that also means there is no prize money involved, no treasure in the hills of the Sierra Madre...no Maltese Falcon at the end of the rainbow...no letters of transit...and I think I've run out of Bogart references.

Thanks to Movie Guy Steve at 1001 plus and Chip Lary at Tips from Chip for posting a heads up to the movies in the new edition.
