I agree. Another problem with this movie is that you unfortunately can
experience it as a serious drama/love story or as a comedy.
Another movie that loses it's magic at your home theater and suffers from the
same problem is Showgirls by Paul Verhoeven.
Empire of the Sun is indeed a great movie. I remember going to see it when I
was around twelve years old and did not have enough cash to buy a ticket.
Movies at that time were usually around 12.50 in Dutch Guilders, but because
this movie was longer it was 16.50 and I only had 16 Guilders, so I had to
return the next day to see it.
The funny thing is that matinee showings in the US are currently cheaper than
they were back in the good old Guilder era in the Netherlands. Don't even start
me about that Euro.

I really enjoyed it at the movie theatre but, it looses something
watching it at home.

Xanadu (Universal, 1980) It's from the disco era so it's a
bit dated but I like it. Also it was Gene Kelly's last film. I like Olivia
Newton John too!!! Too bad they did not cast Andy Gibb opposite Olivia. Michael
Beck is good but I think Andy Gibb would have been terrific.

We are mostly into post-1970 movies, that alone already
needs a lot of defending ;-), and a few titles that a worth defending in our
humble opinion are:
Return of the Living Dead
2 Days in the Valley
Thing to do in Denver when you are dead
Arlington Road
Good Will Hunting
Braindead (P. Jackson)
Deep Rising
Cube
Demon Knight
Desperado
Long Kiss Goodnight
Night Breed
Night of the Creeps
Perdita Durango
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Very Bad Things
Bound
Cabin Fever
Killing Zoe
And the list goes on and on...
Not familiar with any of these titles? Go rent/buy them now!

most of our favorite films that we watch over and over,
again, share tons of loyalty by others. (CASABLANCA, DOUBLE INDEMNITY,
VERTIGO, etc. is on everyone's list.)
BUT, what is a favorite film of your that you need to
defend? that is, what film do you believe is GREAT but lacks the enthusiasm of
others?
my answer is THE PARADINE CASE.
