I've Been Meaning to Watch That!

RCMS rounds out this theme round with Movies that are on our proverbial list, but we haven't gotten around to watching. Mike picks Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. The 1986 movie has roots in the original home city of the Rare Cuts Media Society. It stars Michael Rooker as Henry a kind of fictional serial killer, based hevily on real serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. The movie was very low budget and made very quickly all around Chicagoland. But it paid off when it saw great box office returns, despite its X rating. Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up, What will RCMS think?

I've Been Meaning to Watch That!

RCMS continues its theme of Movies that are on our proverbial list, but we haven't gotten around to watching.

Eric picks Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Is it really that rare? It was a big-budget pre-blockbuster that was a pretty big deal in 1954. The movie was the first time Disney fully stocked the cast with big stars like Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Peter Lorre, and Paul Lukas. Disney also spared no expense on special effects. The seafaring movie is part action-adventure and part morality tale. But is it any good? Did Eric pick a classic or should he have not wasted his time? Listen to find out!!
