Also, it contains one of the best comedy moments in a horror movie of all-time.: m.youtube.com/watch?v=AmRS...

“Look! I’m Woody. Howdy howdy howdy!”

Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸 to my American mutuals! It took a lot of waiting, but I can finally reveal my Letterboxd list that showcases my favourite movie set in each of the 50 states. Enjoy this cinematic tribute to the cultural hodgepodge that is the United States.:🗽📽️ letterboxd.com/rterry/list/...

It’s too bad she hasn’t had more leading roles. I enjoy her quite a bit in The Matchmaker (1997), but especially in The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996). Also, she kills it as the voice of Colette Tatou in Ratatouille (2007).

Trying to wrap my head around Jeff Kanew being both the editor of Ordinary People (1980) and the director of Troop Beverly Hills (1989).

That’s a good movie! I put it on my recent Top 100 Favourite Comedies list on Letterboxd. This moment always makes me lose it.: m.youtube.com/watch?v=VP3e...

Look Who’s Talking Knocked Up Goldfinger Goldeneye Dangerous Liaisons Kinsey Boogie Nights Casanova Liar Liar (It’s the reason Fletcher missed his son’s birthday party, thus causing him to make the wish.) American Pie

Favourite Horror Film from Each Year of the 1990s: 1990-Gremlins 2: The New Batch 1991-The Silence of the Lambs 1992-Bram Stoker’s Dracula 1993-Jurassic Park (Horror-adjacent) 1994-Wolf 1995-The Last Supper 1996-The Craft 1997-Scream 2 1998-Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island 1999-Sleepy Hollow

I wish that this movie was freely available on streaming sites so that more people could give it a watch. It’s an engaging little caper with an excellent ensemble cast.: m.youtube.com/watch?v=9WGa...

Watching the Tony Awards in full and Titanique feels like a lot. It feels like the kind of musical that even a big musical buff such as myself would avoid seeing. I’m sorry, but I just can’t get into it.

Jim Henson didn’t perform The Rainbow Connection while inside a diving bell submerged in a tank so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable.”:

Name a book/comic that deserves a film.: Fables, which was almost a series except that Once Upon a Time beat it to the punch. I quite enjoy Once Upon a Time, but Fables would have rocked.

”You will read or else I will eat your soul. Blaaaghhh!!!”

I need this on my wall.

Currently wondering if anybody will bid more than a dollar on the Kevin Sorbo poster. 🤔

You can‘t fool me! That’s Maury Chaykin in Mouse Hunt (1997).

Here are four Christmas movies you should watch instead of the proposed Grinch sequel.:

This will probably make a gajillion dollars at the box office and I will be angry at every turn at its success. If any film deserves to go straight to streaming it would be this one. The people who will go to see this didn’t go to see Furiosa and that saddens me.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one else remembers but you.: A French animated show dubbed into English, which sees a teenage Jason become the chosen one who must defeat various monsters from Greek mythology commanded by an evil villain named Dracchus. m.youtube.com/watch?v=alK6...

“Hey! My girlfriend saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a drink?“

Either The Tinderbox, The Bremen Town Musicians or The Goose Girl. I came up with an idea for an animated adaptation of The Bremen Town Musicians that would have been released in the ‘70s and starred the voices of Tina Turner, Peter Frampton, Bo Diddley and Linda Ronstadt.

Happy 41st anniversary to The Goonies (1985), which, despite its mixed reputation among Gen Xers, I quite enjoy. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway, here’s the very ‘80s video for the Cyndi Lauper-sung theme song The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough, which I also enjoy. Goonies never say die!: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LxLh...

From one travel buff to another, what is your favourite hidden gem in your state? That off the beaten path artistic spot or historical site, that natural wonder that gets overlooked, that little known farmer’s market, etc.?

Currently rewatching Bugsy Malone (1976) and I was just reminded of how much I love this number.: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsi2... #TCM #MusicalMatinee

Here’s a trivia tidbit that will add absolutely nothing to my 0% interest in seeing the James Stewart biopic that’s scheduled for November. The noted gossip columnist Hedda Hopper will be played by Sarah Drew, the actress who voiced Quinn’s friend Stacy on Daria.: m.youtube.com/watch?v=uZry...

Why am I like this?: -The animated Disney canon -Peanuts comic strips -Jim Henson -Turner Classic Movies -Various children’s authors (Maurice Sendak, Arnold Lobel, William Steig, Jan Brett, Shel Silverstein, etc.) -Being born during the early days of internet, but before every kid had a smartphone

You’ve Got Mail (1998)

Currently working on a series of lists on Letterboxd devoted to those who have been featured in Turner Classic Movies’s yearly “TCM Remembers” tributes. I’m almost done 2014, and then I’ll have 11 left before this year’s iteration, which will air in December.: letterboxd.com/rterry/tag/-...

A film that flopped before my time: Fantasia A film that flopped when I was too young to go see it: Office Space A film that flopped that I didn’t see in theatres, but could have: Arthur Christmas A film that flopped that I did see in theatres: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

Name 5 films from the 2000s.: Together (Tillsammans) (2000) Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) Down with Love (2003) The Namesake (2006) The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) m.youtube.com/watch?v=9XsW...

10 year-old Ryan loved Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, Miracle on 34th Street, The Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood (1973), Willy Wonka, Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I also listened to The Beach Boys, The Beatles, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins and Simon & Garfunkel.

Happy Friday, post Simpsons screenshots to cleanse the timeline.

At last, after a lot of hemming and hawing about what I could or couldn’t watch based on what movies I had access to, here is the completed schedule for the 5th Annual Ryan Terry Stay-At-Home Film Festival. #StayAtHomeFilmFestival

This was nearly impossible.:

High and Dry, although Just is a close second.: m.youtube.com/watch?v=7qFf...

The Muppets (including Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and Dinosaurs.)

Ron Howard’s Grinch movie. From the same director as Apollo 13, Backdraft, Cocoon, The Paper, Parenthood and Ransom.

Does anybody know what time this online meetup is supposed to happen tonight for group members who aren’t going to the Classic Film Festival? #TCMParty

I’m a theatre kid. I love performing for others. It’s one of the great thrills in life. But I also work at a library, and if I saw people looking uncomfortable about this kind of guerilla performance art or even leaving because of it, I’d probably tell my boss. A library is a sanctuary for people.

I’ve got a whole list, but a few favourites that I’ve discovered in recent years include Crossing Delancey (1988), Popstar (2016), What’s Up, Doc? (1972), Matinee (1993), Bells Are Ringing (1960) and The Station Agent (2003). My old standbys are usually animated movies and comedies.

I love all of the songs in this thread unironically. Thank you for your service, sir! 🫡
