CASABLANCA
“Here’s looking at you kid.” Kim and Cary’s Movies Revisited is finally back. Our apologies if you have missed us. The line above is one of MANY famous taglines in this film. I (Cary) want to work back through some older classic movies, but I don’t think Kim does. The black-and-white format is…

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
‘We’re people too, you know.” “THEY’RE people too, you know.” There is some stuff at the end you may want to read, but we chose to get right to it. Deliver Me from Nowhere is a very good movie. It is the story of Bruce Springsteen from 1982 to 1983, struggling with what…

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
As I recall, I (Cary) saw this film when it came out, possibly with my mother. This was the first R I ever saw, and I cannot get in without her. I think it would be PG-13 today. Back then I thought it was the funniest and saddest movie I ever saw. Still? Its right…

Smokey and the Bandit
Smokey and the Bandit is a very entertaining movie. It is also dumb as hell. When I (Cary) first saw this movie, I knew I wanted two things. One was a Trans-Am, and the other was Sally Field. Neither happened. When Smokey hit the screen in 1977, I was driving a Pinto station wagon with…

Grease
“When are we going to watch a movie I want to see?” Kim is right. Kim and Cary’s Movies Revisited have centered around me (Cary), as this project was my idea. Additionally, I saw more movies than she did during our adolescence. I do cherish her input and opinion as we revisit these things,…

Dog Day Afternoon
After a respite, during which we prefer to sit outside in warm weather, Kim and I sat down to watch the 1975 film that I had seen in the theater. I swore I had the DVD, but it was missing, so we gave Jeff Bezos $3.79 to rent it. He’s getting married and needs the…

The Poseidon Adventure 1972
Kim has not seen this movie and knows nothing about it. This was the first action/adult movie I remember seeing, but I could be wrong. This film was a genre of early seventies disaster flicks like Airport, Earthquake, and The Towering Inferno. Big stars, underwhelming scripts, and people attended these in droves. I…

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1971
There is one reason I (Cary) wanted to see this movie badly. Candy. Candy? Yes, Candy. When you are a pre-adolescent ten-year-old, you know few pleasures of life- it is not time yet. All I can recall is I loved candy, and I wanted to be Charlie. I have not read Roald Dahl’s Charlie and…

Batman (1966)
Batman movie? Which one? There have been ten Batman movies since the sixties and two serials in the forties. Bob Kane created the character in 1939 for Detective Comics (DC). Twenty-seven years later, William Dozier created a television series that Cary (Kim was just two) thought was the coolest thing in the…

Oz
Imagine sitting at a dinner setting with a half dozen people. You query the group and challenge, name a catchphrase or tagline from the Wizard of Oz. Can you make it around the table? Certainly. Twice? Perhaps. I am not listing any here because it is quite likely they are flying around in your…
