These Movies Are Horrible

Perhaps though, since the first king and queen of Narnia were from our world they brought old practices and holidays with them - such as the celebration of Christ's birth. And the Narnian's continued keeping of it shows Christ's shadow and sacrifice overhanging a world so far removed from our own.

Yes! I was forgetting that! Well done, Gray. I like that.
 
No I agree with gc! King Frank and Queen Helen will have loved Christmas from our world, wether for the real reason or not, and so wanted to keep it as a tradition when king of queen of narnia!
 
Wow

I just watched BBC LW&W for the first time in like, ten years.

What sublime torture. They are so bad, you love them.

Things that made me laugh hysterically:
1)Japanese-film dubbed Aslan - he opens his mouth and six words come out! Amazing!

2)Bowling for Beavers - They look like furry barrels with legs. Makes me want to tip them over and watch them kick.

3)Battle Scenes - oh, to be a fly on the wall watching the characters brandish their weapons at nothing!

4)Jadis the Drama Queen - sheeeezuh...was she cast for her ability to bellow?

5)Skitzophrenic Edmund - there had to be a better way to show his inner struggle than splitting him into two and making him talk to himself!

6)Lucy, the orthodontist's dream - enough said.

I have a great fondness for these films. The kiddies love them. But lord, they are a scream!
 
I always liked Aslan in the BBC movies. Peter was the only other character who looked and talked like I always imagined. But you're right Sunrise, Lucy is an orthodontist's dream!
 
love them

I'm probably going against the flow here but I really love the old BBC Narnia films. They maybe a bit dated but they are still great to watch. Somethings may be a bit funny (i.e. The Sea Serpant, The Cobra, Beavers etc.. etc..) I think you just have to overlook these, they are still great!! :) :)

You are in no way going against the flow, my old lad/lass! At least not my flow! I LUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRVE em!!!! I dont think Id mentinoed that before......
 
I haven't watched the BBC movies in a while, but I absolutely loved the LWW movie. I do remember being disappointed with the others, I thought they were kinda poorly made, but when I think about the time that they were produced in, they are actually pretty good. It's hard to grade a movie from the late 80's nowadays, since we are so used to high tech everything.

I absoluetely loved the BBC LWW Aslan... he is exactly what I would picture Aslan to be.

Ya, the beavers might have been kinda out there, but they were cute in my opinion :)

Peace out :)
 
Yeah, the effects in BBC movies are pretty bad..downright laughable if you ask me. The actors wern't too outstanding either (not that bad, mind you..but...still...). But the story line was good, lol.

And yes, the beavers were hilarious! HAHA

lol....I think the general effect of the battle was supposed to come off as 'scary' and 'awe-inspiring' but I'm afraid the feeling was more like 'hilarious' and 'cheesy'.
 
The movie isn't rated yet, But I have a sinking feeling it might be PG-13. But, it is a Disney movie so they'll probobly try to make it just PG. That's the oly good reason they R doing it.
 
Yeah.

I mean, its not like we havn't seen PG-13 movies before (God's and Generals, Apollo 13) but PG-13 is no man's land in the movie industry..it can mean something really gory, or something pretty tame. Just about everything goes.

So you have to be careful when it comes to that rating.

That being said..I'm sure Narnia will be fine..we just might send the little ones away during the intese battle scenes or watching it during the day (less scary, you don't have to go to bed right afterwards, lol).
