The Mountain Between Us (2017)
Highly Underrated
I'm utterly shocked at the reviews I'm seeing on all the big sites - from fans and critics alike. Having read a few, I can only say the issues others seem to have had upon seeing "The Mountain Between Us" were, for the most part high points for me. I thought the entire story, the acting, the plot - and especially the pace and arc of the story/characters - were, in a word, perfect. Not a perfect movie, but neither was this a case of "good for what it is" movie either (like some of the guilty pleasure movies I've enjoyed for purely escapist value). I found that depth, substance and authenticity pushed "The Mountain Between Us" so far beyond the vast majority of pictures with similar descriptions/trailers that it at once satisfies, defies and elevates the so-called survival thriller genre.
Villa Alegre (1973)
One of my all time best TV memories
It's always amazing to me to find others have actually seen this show because, like the writer of the above comment, I never found anything on it on the web. Not even YouTube has any clips :( I loved this show and have very fond early childhood memories of the opening credits with the miniature amusement park/fair rides. The theme song still sticks in my head every time I say or type the show's title. I wonder why it's so hard to find footage of this show if other 70's shows were recorded. I just went on YouTube and found clips of every 70's children show I could think of. There are even multiple pages of clips from another favorite of mine, "Vegetable Soup" - also a diversity-themed children's show from that seemingly Utopian time of creativity in that arena.
