@distantcuzzins I agree. I wish they had done the sequel that way and not set twenty years later. Anyway, I really liked this movie when I first saw it in 1985. I later forgot about it for a long time after. But I re-discovered it, and the music of Tangerine Dream, thanks to youtube ;)

@tigerbaiter1 During the Cold War, B52`s(and KC-135`s) would take-off 15 seconds apart! There`s clips here showing a couple of them. They would fly slightly to one side of the aircraft ahead to try and avoid some turbulence. The crews today have it a little easier as the average take-off interval...

@aamadoafpb Really great special effects, and that was all real fire too. Makes one wonder just how uncomfortable Drew was about having to do that scene. But yeah, Charly was furious at The Shop people for killing her parents and how they treated her. She destroyed it, as her father told her, so ...

She has real talent!

Taylor who?

If Drew has a favourite Christmas movie, it may be this one ;)

@DimeraFan28 The Toyland in the film is a real place. It`s a park in Germany, in the Bavaria region I think. But yeah, when I was a kid I too wondered if there was a world like Toyland were I could play with all the toys I ever wanted.

When Lisa first sees Toyland appear out of the mist, she must have been thinking "I get the feeling I`m not in Cincinnati anymore."

When I first saw this as a kid long ago now(see my comment in Part 1) I couldn`t imagine what Charly was feeling as she watched her dad die. She had just re-united with him for the first time in weeks and was so looking forward to going away with him where they would never be bothered again, and ...

@blagit23 When I first saw this in 1985, as I posted here earlier, the music was quite unlike anything I had ever heard before. That`s one reason the film has mostly stuck with me ever since. The closest I can compare it to is Pink Floyd, and TD was inspired alot by Floyd`s early work. The 1970`s...

I also like the creepy synth music in this. It reminds me alot of Tangerine Dream. Wonder if the composer had them in mind?

@macktheknife888 I think you`re referring to the biggest eruption at 10:02am that morning. During the previous night there was a ship anchored about 10 miles from the volcano and they survived the night. They set off at 5am and were 30 miles away when the big blast happened, described by them as ...

I think Taylor Swift would be jealous! Keep up the good work and hope to see you in Nashville and touring the world someday. R.I.P. Billie Jo.

@xhemexx Yes, she was very lucky the blade caught her where it did, unlike what happened to Clint Malarchuk and Richard Zednik.

@flyingdamingo It was on tv here in Canada a year ago just before Christmas. I actually happened to see my girlfriend`s daughter(who is 10) watching it. She looks very much like Drew. I think that`s one reason this is one of her favourite Christmas movies ;)

I was in 200 Wolf for five years(late 1980`s/early '90`s). And for two of them we didn`t even have a band or a flag party. Recruitment was low and the squad was small. It wasn`t a good time to be with 200 then. But things got better my last year with them as the squad grew again, and the band and...

That is fun! In all the time I was in 200 Wolf, we never did anything like this. Not in uniform on a regular parade night anyway. But on weekend exercises, we were allowed to do something a little impromptu when drilling out of uniform the odd time.

I think Drew was very terribly affected when her best friend Heather O`Rourke died suddenly. It was probably one of the worst times of her life trying to deal with the loss of her friend, while already struggling with her own issues. Certainly a dark tine for her. Heather had the same dreams as D...

I really, really hated John Rainbird all throughout the movie for everything he did to Charlie. I remember telling my mom "He`s a very bad man."

It`s kind of scary when Dr. Wallace describes how Charlie`s full potential is not really known and that she could be capable of creating a nuclear explosion. When we see later in the film just how much she can do, she was still only scratching the surface of her abilities. A couple of months afte...

The farm sequence has always been a favourite of mine. I live on one too. But I really like how warm and friendly the Manders are with Andy and Charlie and sympathetic of their plight. And also how much Charlie enjoys their company. I really hated it when the Shop guys showed up and I just knew t...
