Picard if he wasn't running Dixon hill programs

Can we make it a sub rule that if you post a pic of TNG actors in other movies/shows you have to post at least the title? Thanks

jjman72@reddit

Tons of nudity, Knights fighting everywhere, all with a weird mystical vibe. Nerdy 10 year old me loved it.

[-]

Fine-Funny6956@reddit

A classic. Also wildly confusing for an 8 year old.

[-]

JohnnyEnzyme@reddit

Should an 8yo really be watching that movie?

It has limbs getting cut off, people being murdered, dead people rotting on trees, and an imposter raping the director's daughter.

So not exactly Sesame Street...

[-]

The 80s were something else. I probably shouldn’t have been watching Indiana Jones, or even ET and the Goonies, but I did and I gained a healthy fear of dying, a hatred for Nazis, and a fear of caves with pirate treasure.

Watching Robocop ('87) when you're 9 will leave you with some stuff to work through.

When ever I see clips from the That 70's Show I get this uneasy feeling Red's about to start murdering everyone.

[-]

Hot_Swordfish7514@reddit

Bitches, leave.

[-]

theshub@reddit

Maybe you work thru that stuff with the action figures they sold and hard market to kids during Saturday morning cartoons? The 80’s were something man.

[-]

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

I remember being horrified by brains being eaten out in Beastmaster to make Deathguards, guys being melted in Raiders of the Lost Ark and watching Artax slowly drown in a swamp while Atreyu watched hopelessly screaming. So yeah, the 80's were pretty damn metal.

Distinct_Safety5762@reddit

Don’t forget the bat dudes that liquefy you and throwing children into a fire pit! And if we’re talking traumatizing films from the golden age of practical effects we can’t forget the holy trinity of The Thing, The Blob, & The Fly.

[-]

Fine-Funny6956@reddit

Oh man, you unlocked some suppressed memories for me

[-]

JimboSmellsFunky@reddit

The 80s were a wild ride—nothing like a good childhood trauma for character building!

[-]

singleguy79@reddit

The 89s molded us into what we are today

[-]

blissed_off@reddit

Counterpoint: peak Helen Mirren in a see through dress.

[-]

International_Bit478@reddit

So in 1981 that would’ve been PG.

[-]

Dry-Discount-9426@reddit

Sounds like the 80's

[-]

draculasbloodtype@reddit

This was one of my sister and I’s favorite movies too. We had older sisters and pretty much watched whatever. I saw Full Metal Jacket WAY too young too.

[-]

SaltySAX@reddit

That Helen Mirren scene was very eye opening for a young lad!

[-]

Fun_Elk_4949@reddit

I was about 8 when I saw this movie. It's still my #1 fantasy knight in armor style movie. Plus a young qui gon gin.

[-]

Fine-Funny6956@reddit

Krull?

[-]

Fun_Elk_4949@reddit

Was Liam Neeson in Krull? I haven't seen that in so long.

[-]

Fine-Funny6956@reddit

Yup! He’s the guy with a wife in every village

[-]

Cazmonster@reddit

I think I watched it at twelve - really confusing outside of the violence.

[-]

bassman314@reddit

Thank you!

[-]

LowVacation6622@reddit

Probably my favorite movie of all time and definitely the best movie about Arthurian legend!

[-]

Busy_Jellyfish4034@reddit

It’s incredibly common on Reddit in general and always a frustrating. I personally think all posts done this way should be deleted by mods to help make it stop

[-]

bassman314@reddit

Thank you!

[-]

No_Recognition7426@reddit

Only thing that tops this is Patrick Stewart yelling “long live duke Leto!” Charging forward with a rifle I. One hand and a pug in the other.

[-]

GamemasterJeff@reddit

His left hand held the far deadlier weapon. The slow pug pierces the shield then chews your face off.

[-]

Competitive_Way_7295@reddit

I would also like to submit Picard going into battle carrying a Pug.

[-]

ChimPhun@reddit

That Dune version should have been a trilogy. Always felt like they stuffed too much in one movie, though I loved it. The new ones don't do it for me. Perhaps cause no Toto?

[-]

heatlesssun@reddit

Assimilate this!

I know, but still.

[-]

Redditujer@reddit

I'm about 1/3 of the way through his memoir, Making it So. It's excellent and when I read it, I do so in Patrick Stewart's voice.

Such an endearing man. Worth the read imho.

[-]

Mental-Street6665@reddit

I didn’t know he was in anything filmed in front of a camera in the 80s before TNG except Dune.

[-]

kkkan2020@reddit (OP)

patrick stewart first film/tv appearances go back to 1964

[-]

Mental-Street6665@reddit

Yeah I thought he was strictly a stage actor that far back.

[-]

Hats668@reddit

We've been talking about Excalibur a fair bit over on the r/Iwatchedanoldmovie subreddit

[-]

Puzzled-Bag-8407@reddit

Hard to think of any better Arthurian legend cinema!

[-]

JohnnyEnzyme@reddit

Indeed, I've never seen a better one.

Nicol Williamson for example was beyond brilliant as Merlin. I'd watch the movie just for him, and it was already a great movie.

[-]

blissed_off@reddit

“A dream to some.

A NIGHTMARE TO OTHERS!”

[-]

regeya@reddit

And yet the perfection that is Monty Python already exists.

As an aside I always thought it was funny that while they had a wizard named Tim instead of Merlin, Eric Idle went on to play Merlin in Shrek.

[-]

secondtaunting@reddit

Monty Python will always be perfect. Lol

[-]

FlyingAceComics@reddit

One of my absolute favorite movies EVER!

[-]

Battleaxe1959@reddit

That movie was decent. Low budget, but Helen Mirren was fun to watch. Patrick Stewart was 41 at the time and looked like he was having a good time.

[-]

secondtaunting@reddit

That man barely ages.

[-]

imadork1970@reddit

Liam Neeson, too.

[-]

JohnnyEnzyme@reddit

Helen Mirren, Nicol Williamson, Gabriel Byrne and quite a few other well-known actors...

[-]

imadork1970@reddit

Fun Fact: Igrayne was played by Katrine, daughter of John Boorman, the director of the movie.

[-]

secondtaunting@reddit

Oh man, but that sex scene..his daughter?! Yikes.

[-]

JohnnyEnzyme@reddit

Yep, in another comment here I pointed out how... well, you can read it yourself!

[-]

imadork1970@reddit

Will do.

[-]

imadork1970@reddit

Chris Sarandon as Lancelot. He must be good, he got Susan to marry him.

[-]

JohnnyEnzyme@reddit

I don't know who that is. Nicholas Clay played Lancelot in the movie.

[-]

imadork1970@reddit

Damn, I just checked, I'm wrong. I'll erase that comment.

[-]

Nightrhythums78@reddit

Valid point you win the argument

[-]

trash-juice@reddit

Yeah I knew that decade was going to be different when my Pops took me to see this in the theater, he had a thing for Helen

[-]

Graega@reddit

Also

"From this day forth, all the toilets in this kingdom shall be known as.... JOHNS!"

[-]

hummusmade@reddit

“ If a boy has been chosen, a boy shall be King!“ Plus I think he yells “Camel Yard” or something during the battle.

[-]

Cazmonster@reddit

This is one of my favorite lines: "You, Uryenes, will knight me. Then as knight to knight... I can offer you mercy."

Such good writing through the entire movie.

[-]

FoundationAny7601@reddit

Holy shit! I loved that movie but didn't remember him!

[-]

ForceGhost47@reddit

Leodegrance. Of course he was the man in the movie
