30TH ANNIVERSARY
SAILOR MOON S (1994) “I Want to Quit Being a Sailor Guardian: Minako’s Dilemma” Japanese with English Subtitles Amazon Prime

WYATT EARP (1994) Kevin Costner & Lawrence Kasdan’s epic Western (and flop) overshadowed by TOMBSTONE. First saw this on VHS in December 1994. I viewed Part 1 this Saturday and will finish it the next day. Warner DVD

40TH ANNIVERSARY
BACHELOR PARTY (1984) Sex comedy starring Tom Hanks. Saw it in the mid 1980s: my only memory was the 3D cinema climax. Saw it again-albeit in censored form- on the USA Network in 1994. Then saw the unedited version on VHS in 2000. Arguably my favorite of early Tom. ok.ru

CONAN THE DESTROYER (1984) Toned down sequel to BARBARIAN, bringing back Arnold and Mako with Wilt Chamberlain, Grace Jones, Walter, and Sarah Douglas. This was my first CONAN film seen in the mid 1980s. Initially I preferred thus one to the darker, sexual predecessor. That changed in 1998. Amazon Prime

50TH ANNIVERSARY
THE PALLISERS (1974) “Episode Twenty-Four” The Series Moves from THE PROME MINISTER to Trollope’s series finale THE DUKE’S CHILDREN. This also appears to be the last viewing for a while, as the concluding episodes aired on a later date. ok.ru

The OP Quote:
60TH ANNIVERSARY
A SHOT IN THE DARK (1964) The second (and my favorite) Pink Panther film, establishing the formula with Peter Sellers’ Inspector Closeau as the protagonist, & adding Herbert Lom’s Chief Inspector Dreyfuss, Burt Kwouk’s Kato, André Francois, and Graham Stark to the standard cast. First saw this on TBS in 1989 (back to back with THE PINK PANTHER), recognizing THE INSPECTOR Cartoon’s Theme making its debut from the film. I had a better viewing on Cinemax in January 1992. I got the film on VHS for Christmas 1995 and the DVD in Easter 2004. It’s definitely one of my favorite films. MGM/UA DVD.

Saw Parts Of:
ONE DAY AT A TIME (1975) “Ann’s Decision” & “Julie’s Best Friend”, & “All the Way” AMazon Prime
