I still like it as much now as when i 1st saw it. the critics hated it though.
I'm pretty inclined to go with "fuck the critics" on this one...IMO, even though it was a little before my own time (made when I was 5, I believe), it's one of the better scifi films, ever. Solid storyline (for anyone who likes things like Equilibrium, they'd probably like this), great ending, AMAZING soundtrack, interesting concept visuals, (now) very cool retro vibe, Jenny Agutter nude, and the first use of laser holography as I understand it.
Places are practically giving it away now...sad...I can personally find very little wrong with Logans Run.

One of my all-time favorite films. I tend to reference or quote it in most of my screenplays.

Why?

What was wrong with it?
I just had a hard time watching it. Either I'm changing and can't handle seeing torture, and gore in movies anymore like I used to, or this movie REALLY crossed a line. It's the first time I actually had to turn my head while watching a movie, and I actually started to feel a little sick to my stomach.

Anyways, last seen was Big Fish a few nights ago (for the 100th time), and now it's on TV...so of couse I'm watching it again.

hmm, that quote is a bit messed up...

Yeah, I was just a kid and it really did something to me - that one, Star Wars and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger were the movie theater experiences that forever changed me.

back on topic -

An American Haunting...turd

Wow...a reference to Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger! The film that very few people love. But if you saw it at the right time, it was such a perfect fantasy candy bar.

Assault of the vicious insectoid Zomboid Ghouls! Giant honeybee threatens with its stinging barbed posterior! Golden Minotaur impales unlucky sailors! Taryn Power and Jane Seymour being menaced by troglodyte while swimming naked! Rated G for Ghoulicious!
