LOLITAThe original 1962 film version of Vladimir Nabokov's uber-controversial novel of a middle-aged man hopelessly smitten by a "nymphet", this Stanley Kubrick-directed film features solid performances by James Mason (as the obsessed Humbert Humbert); Shelley Winters; Peter Sellers (as the mysterious Clare Quilty); and Sue Lyon, whose performance in the title role is far better than critics gave her credit for (the fact that she was four years older than the character doesn't detract [IMHO]). 9/10

WESTWORLDThe late Michael Crichton's movie directing debut from 1973, about an Old West theme park recreation populated by life-size robots in fine Western attire. Yul Brynner does a malevolent cyber reprise of his role in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, and James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are the two businessmen who are eventually at his mercy. Westworld--a place where nothing can go wrong. Yeah, right! 8.5/10.

BLACK SUNDAYAs it is in the early stages of football season, both college and pro, it seemed time to revisit this memorable 1977 thriller about a planned attack on the Super Bowl by a deranged Vietnam vet (Bruce Dern) and a Black September militant (Marthe Keller), with an Israeli operative (Robert Shaw) and an FBI agent (Fritz Weaver) trying to avert the horror. Based on the novel by Thomas Harris (of Silence Of The Lambs fame), this film from director John Frankenheimer had a premise (a foreign terrorist attack on the United States) that was considered to be outlandish.... ...until this happened in reality on 9/11/01: BLACK SUNDAY gets a 10/10.

Quote by buttermuffin re. Misery: That bad, was it? (LOL). Well, to quote the late Rick Nelson, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself. Anyway, here's another one that I've seen lately, on DVD (though I saw it in theatres back in March of this year): KNOWINGA parchment containing a random series of numbers falls into the hands of an astrophysicist (Nicolas Cage), and he soon realizes that these numbers, written back in 1959 by a disturbed school girl and unearthed in a time capsule at his son's school, somehow foretold of every large-scale catastrophe in the ensuing fifty years, including 9/11. But there are unfortunately three events still to come, and it's the last one that is truly horrifying...... 8/10.

THE HOSPITALLegendary writer Paddy Chayefsky and director Arthur Hiller foresaw back in 1971 what Michael Moore depicted in SICKO thirty-six years later: that the state of healthcare and hospitals in America would eventually start going to hell in a hand basket...and nobody would even give a s**t. George C. Scott's performance as the world-weary head of a NYC hospital where patients are dying by the bushel is right up there with his roles in PATTON and DR. STRANGELOVE, as he makes this prescient point: " We have established an enormous medical entity and we're sicker than ever. We cure nothing! We heal nothing! The whole g**damn wretched world, strangulating in front of our eyes." The ultimate truth hurts, and the morbid sense of black comedy throughout only amplifies it. 8/10
