It's odd that a film praising George Patton was made at the height of anti-military sentiment in the US. Odder that it was so successful.

THE LOST CONTINENT 1968 really stepped on the toes of the one of the two very biggest censors in Hollywood, the tobacco company, with two of the on screen "deaths by monsters" occurring immediately after each of the victims lit up a cigarette. You'll notice that today this cult classic is swept under the rug, and "yes", the tobacco industry is cleverly behind the scenes doing it.
If you ever watch an old war film, you'll notice that extras in a battle can ensure their survival of the battle into the next scene by smoking cigarettes. It was not allowed by the industry for a soldier to be killed if he smoked cigarettes.
How this film got past one of the two biggest censors in Hollywood is astounding.

Wadjda – a film about a Saudi girl who enters a contest on knowledge of the Koran in order to use the prize money to purchase a bike, which is taboo for girls. Made in Saudi Arabia by a woman director.

I'd love to have seen the reactions from the MGM exes after seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time.

Theodore Rex. I would have loved to been to the pitch meeting for that one: "So yeah Whoopie Goldberg gets paired with a talking t. rex to solve a murder mystery."

The theory I heard was that smoking in movies was done so actors had something to hold but I am calling BS on this-I think it was done to advertise smoking.
That's funny about the Lost Continent. I love that movie. The guy who does the smoking is after the wife of a dictator who fled the country and he interrupts her conversation: "Miss Peters was someone of importance in my country" to which she replies, "is that why we have never met?"
Later though she offers to sleep with him to avoid capture--after that another woman shows up on deck and makes him a similar offer.
Unfortunately a squid falls in love with him.
I am surprised THE LION 1962 got made. It portrays Africans in a non PC way -one black man spits in the face of an old bed-ridden African guy, and a young would-be chief seeks a pre-teen white girl as a bride!

Waterworld
It's not bad, it's not very good either. I'm talking logistically, wtf were they signing up for. I wonder what ppl who've been raised on CGI think of it.

Zardoz, even at the height of weird dystopian flicks in the 70's.
