the one with the whales! that's what we always call it in my family ;D my most abiding memory of childhood is battlestar galactica. we watched it on tv and mum recorded it on vhs - the video was a top loader - and had no remote. we watched them over and over again until they were unwatchable. last year i bought the dvd box set when it came out - i hadn't seen anything but the 'films' for AT LEAST 15 years but when i watched them? remembered pretty much every line. especially Murder on The Rising Star and The Man With Nine Lives - cause those were our favourites... "only my father would fire a laser in a launch tube..." see - haven't seen that for nearly a year and i didn't have to look that up.
and V. we LOVED V. it was a family ritual watching that. "i care about this lizard." ahhh... Ham Tyler - best sci-fi character ever. made me giggle every time sam tyler's name was mentioned in Life on Mars ;D
Beastmaster. Willow. ("shut up or i'll break your nose." *g*) The Day The Earth Stood Still. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Flight of The Pheonix. Ice Cold in Alex.
Films that will FOREVER make me think of family afternoons spent devouring films from the local video store.
ahhh... i feel old and yet strangely young all of a sudden :o)
