I'm finally starting this project to watch the entire Touchstone Pictures filmography (every film associated with the Disney label whether through production or distribution) from 1984-2016 & share my thoughts on each release in this thread. Follow along as I revisit the hits, misses & obscurities.

It’s not a Christmas dinner until I’ve gotten into a shouting match argument with a relative about how LITTLE WOMEN 1994 is better than LITTLE WOMEN 2019.

Lucasfilm Ltd. has a long history of incredibly creative & beautiful holiday cards. My favorite is this classic from the king Ralph McQuarrie commissioned for the company’s 1979 change of address back to its newly renovated offices in North Hollywood.

Looks like the dates for 2026 match up with 1998 perfectly so I’m finally gonna get some more use out of this old Blockbuster Video wall calendar.

All I want for Christmas is a 1993 McDonald’s Holiday Film Festival t-shirt.

The Rocketeer in 35mm at the New Bev. This is not a drill!

AN ADDAMS FAMILY CHRISTMAS is the best threequel never made.

30 years ago today CUTTHROAT ISLAND was released in theaters. Despite its reputation as being the movie that killed Carolco I have always enjoyed Renny Harlin’s lavish pirate epic. From Geena Davis’ cheeky performance to the elaborate set design and the beautiful John Debney score.

Happy 30th anniversary to one of the most iconic fights in the history of action movies.

30 years ago today SUDDEN DEATH was released in theaters. It quickly became my favorite film from Van Damme as well as director Peter Hyams and it’s “Die Hard at a Hockey Game” hook is one of the most underrated variations of the John McClane blueprint.

I need this on a t-shirt

Its still wild to me that this is what the original DIE HARD marketing looked like because 20th Century Fox didn’t think Bruce Willis could sell an action movie.

30 years ago today the sports-themed restaurant chain, the All Star Cafe opened its flagship Times Square restaurant location in New York City. World class athletes. Mediocre food. What a time to be alive.

The thing is, I’m still very into spies, codes and secret stuff.

One of my favorite Star Wars movies isn’t even a movie.

Movies are better with Ernie Hudson

John Williams’ “Somewhere in My Memory” is so damn good. For me it has transcended its original identity as a piece of film score and has been elevated into the canon of holiday-themed music.
