Saw The 'Burbs way back when and it didn't resonate with me. I was long overdue for a rewatch. It has become a cult hit since its release.
The 'Burbs has its fans for sure. I only recollections I had of this movie were from the commercials ("This is Walter") and there was a kid who sat behind me in study hall who would thought Art's "Satan is your pal" chant was funny and he'd chant it a lot -…
Shakespeare can certainly be dull when not presented properly - on film or stage - and you'd think this almost 75 year production would not only suffer from tedious line readings but also be burdened with a slew of antiquated filmmaking tropes.
Thankfully that is not the case here, and I have to give all the credit to Laurence Olivier's direction. He constantly keeps the movie fresh with variety of shots, longer then shorter takes, smart edits, remarkably surprising camera…
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da
My kids and I watched and they liked this by far
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
This movie's still great and is one of those few
It's a film that's aged well
after all's said and TOLD
A film that still works for the young
and the OLD
I'm glad that I could share this with my girl and my BOY
They're smiles and laughs --- that tells me it gave them some joy
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me
You will rewatch this as soon as you can
And I give this a doom-pa, loom-pa
Big Recommend!
Waited the whole movie - not one postman shows up.
What the hell?
