    1. It’s the funniest movie ever made.

    Came out in 1979, Spielberg directed, Zemeckis wrote it, John Williams did the score, it has John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Christopher Lee, Toshirô Mifune, among others.

    It was way way ahead of its time. There are more jokes and setups & payoffs than entire decades of more recent movies (I’m not even exaggerating much). The practical effects are awesome and they blow up tons of stuff for real. It’s refreshingly anti-war. It has absolutely bonkers set pieces. You might recognize things they try that you see in Spielberg’s and Zemeckis’ later movies. Can’t reccomend it enough.

    Make sure to watch the extended cut because it just includes all the missing scenes from the theatrical, which just has gaps and loose ends.

      Wait wtf is this

      I tried to put 1941 with a period at the end. Did the period do some weird syntax thing? Oh looking again looks like it’s just cut off weird on voyager. Anyone else see this?
