You ever go back to re-watch a classic film you hadn't seen since childhood, only to discover you'd NEVER seen it in its entirety, just bits of it over the years?

Anyway I just watched James Whale's Frankenstien for the first time.

I think I had seen its sequel originally as a kid, and conflated the two.

The humanity this scene gives the Monster is just amazing for the time.
Dr. Frankenstein about to find out what it feels like to “be a God".
Torches and pitch-forks. Hope nobody needed that windmill for anything important.

@vampiress
I just saw Spirited Away in theaters. I haven't seen it for like 20 years. I had forgotten so much about it.

@vampiress Yes! I wanted to watch Rambo Part 1, which doesn’t exist. It’s called First Blood. Holy hell, it’s nothing like the adrenaline fueled sequels. It was amazingly good. The sequels are almost like parodies of the original.

@shanecelis Yeah! I saw that a few years back too. I knew I hadn't seen it, but I was expecting schlock as I'd seen bits of the sequels. Was HUGELY surprised to find a contemplative, depressing movie on PTSD.

@vampiress isn’t that just a fantastic movie?

@vampiress All the time!

I'm rarely able to sit through a movie all the way on the first go, and returning is fraught with 'am I in the right spot? on this looks interesting...'
