THE BLACK HOLE

Man did that movie confuse me and scare me as a kid.

I'm trying to figure out if Disney "enhanced" some scenes or it it was just had really awesome graphics and I forgot that.

Hmm.... I think that I actually have it on DVD. And now I may need to watch it on physical media like a weird person just to see.
 
Two movies:

First, In Harm's Way, Otto Preminger's film about early naval conflicts with the Japanese in WWII. Given the time (1965), this great film still exhibited too much attention to the interpersonal relationships, but that's not a detriment, because the thrust of the naval warfare story remained paramount.

A sterling all star cast, headed by John Wayne, which highlighted a few actors who would become big later make this an enthralling treatise of men at war and those who love and support them.

Next was viewing of a forgotten gem: Stand Alone, starring Charles Durning. I didn't know that I needed to see a film about an old fat guy battling cartel drug runners was a must-see, but it was! Underplayed in terms of typical 1980s action posing, it's a simple story with great rewards - and Pam Grier, who plays a public defender, actually *SPOILER* gets to kill at least one bad guy is a huge plus (but, alas, no boob shots). Loved it!
