So.. 1981...
I remember seeing this when it first came out I was 13. EVERYBODY was talking about it, Time magazine did a piece on it (and provided some ugly spoilers) and I saw it with my Mom and Dad, we had to sit in separate seats, because the Palace Theater in Calgary was packed! Everyone enjoyed the heck out of it.. and I saw it multiple times after-wards. I know we were the first ones to rent the video (a beta!) when it first came out..
Flash forward 25 (!!) years, and I hadn't seen this for a good 10-12 years. This movie is just as enjoyable as I remember it. I had seen it multiple times, read the comic book etc. So it was fun to quote lines and go "Oh right, this is when he falls into the pit with the snakes!" This is a movie RIPE for it, and what makes this movie to this day!!
