"12 to the Moon"
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054415/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1


Oh, it's dated, the special effects are nil, but it is fun with a good DP at times, it has its moments of suspense when one wonders if this is going to be "and then there were none", and finally, it held me through the entire movie.


In our fast paced world, it so easy to say, "Oh, I have other things to do," and leave the movie, but this one held me on the sofa. Maybe not too terrifically but held there I was.....even to say, "Oh, I watched that, watched it all, once.".


It was in the same bargain pack as "Valley of the Dragons", in fact on the same disk.

Happy Death Day

I like the Groundhog Day approach to movies.

Yes thank you . You summed up this movie perfectly . My sil 's sister said she zoned out and now I know why there was top talent in this but not a lot of action for me . You summed it up for me as well .

Walt Disney's "The Living Desert" from 1960.

It was as wonderful as I remembered.

Clearly they did a lot of editing to create narrative vignettes, but it was still a pretty wonderful movie.

Next: "The Vanishing Prairie."

Downsizing.

Interesting as an idea story. As a veteran of the "end of the world" movies popular in the 60s and 70s, this one seen in through those lenses is a good one of hope within hopelessness.

But I can see why it bombed at the box office.
