Author Topic: Memorable films released on August 24th... Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-24-2011 10:34 AM                     Rock 'N' Roll High School (1979) And... All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) Alfie (1966) Fantastic Voyage (1966) Darkman (1990) Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) Please share your memories of seeing or working with any of these films.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-24-2011 11:09 AM                        A friend of mine got his first Hollywood job on Rock n Roll HS, one of the great trash movies of all time. We had breakfast with one of the Ramones (Dee Dee?) (and a groupie he was trying to get rid of) and the famous Dukes Diner below the now gone Tropicana Hotel (where Tom Waits lived at the time, and was also having breakfast). Watch closely and you'll see Joey Ramone rarely takes more than 4 steps--he kept falling down. Should have been a monster hit, but then, so should have the Ramones. Allan Arkush originally wanted The Grateful Dead for the band, but couldn't get them.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-24-2011 03:54 PM                     "Fantastic Voyage" - one of the last movies from FOX to use the CinemaScope lenses. Also - Raquel Welch in her first credited movie. The last big movie for Stephen Boyd, whom then went on to smaller budget movies and TV movies with abruptly passing away in 1977 at the age of 49. I saw this first in my hometown theatre (Paramount Theatre) that fall of 1966, which suddenly became one of my favorite Sci-Fi films (now own it on DVD).  |  IP: Logged
