All Summer in a Day (1982)
Life changing and beautiful
My dad copied this film off the TV for me when I was too young to even watch it. It waited for me on a tape of other TV movies like "The Boy Who Loved Trolls" for years until I was old enough to understand it. Even then it touched me deeply at the power in peoples actions. The sadness and beauty of it all was so intense, even at that young age, that it became a part of me to this day. I still watch that tape every year and share it with those closest to me. They tell me it explains why I developed the way I did.
Some films go beyond film-making to a point of changing the way we see the world. This film taught me the power of melencholy, loss, and most importantly, how alone we all are in our closets. I would recommend this film to everyone and anyone and remind them to pay careful attention to the message in the story, not necessarily the sci-fi or technical aspects.
The Phantom of the Opera (1962)
Fair adaptation, fair acting, fair performance
I've read the story before, I've seen performances before. I just didn't feel that any of the actors did justice to the story at all. On it's own it did to entertain me for a short while, and I did not have to turn it off. My suggestion: Watch it in the background while doing something else. The plots are so simple and so well known, you wont miss a thing.
