    I haven't thought of that movie in years.

    Remember when the network channels would play stuff like that on the weekends? I get all my tv via a rooftop antenna, with channels of classic TV shows and continuous old westerns, but no one plays the old classics.

    Right now I can't remember any movie that moved me or impressed me deeply. I can remember a mini-series but not a movie.

    Oh my, I've never seen or heard of this movie, but I know I would definitely enjoy it. Thank you, Yvonne Smith for posting this.

    I bet you liked deja vu with Denzel
    Washington great flick I've seen it at least three times. If anybody goes and watches this be sure and watch and listen to the credits the theme song is absolutely so romantic by Maisie Gray.

    So many... but this one seems less well known and didn't do well at the box office.

    Soldier (1998)



    There is an actiony battle scene that goes on too long prior to the ending, but aside from that it's really good. The trailer emphasized that battle, which probably caused its box office woes by targeting the wrong audience.

    It's actually a deeper film, emotionally jarring despite its limited dialog. A cautionary tale.

    While the point is controversial there is really no question that it takes place in the Blade Runner universe. Multiple "easter eggs" link back to the first film.

    I really appreciated the very ending with its wordless communication among characters.

    I believe Soylent Green was Robinson's last film. He did a great job in that one too, though a quite different type of character.
