The precursor to War Games (1983) or the semi-realistic Dr. Strangelove

Yes- this is the same director - Joseph Sargent- of the 1973 Taking of the Pelham 123 and also Jaws the Revenge voted the worst film of 1987

The lead actor Eric Braeden played John Jacob Astor in Titanic (1997) as the guy Rose says has a mistress who makes naughty underwear for rich women and goes down with ship as a "gentleman". William Schallert was a character actor in dozens of 60s, 70s, and 80s TV shows

It makes me feel old that you guys didn't recognize Marion Ross (the woman that read Forbin his schedule). She played Ron Howard's mom on Happy Days.

I remember Eric Braeden from the 60s WWII series Rat Patrol. These days he more known for his role on The Young and the Restless.

This was one of those movies that was played on a local tv station on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. It was all so futuristic at the time, and now of course the technology is dated. I rewatched this recently and was shocked at how prescient the story is regarding the development of computers and AI. And like many films of the late 60s and 70s, there is no happy ending to make us all feel better about ourselves (those didn't come back in vogue until the 80s). The book upon which the movie is based is just called "Colossus", and in my opinion isn't as effective as the movie. There are two sequels to the book which I haven't read, but they both have received less than stellar reviews. About 15 years ago I tweeted at actor Eric Braeden (Dr, Forbin) about the possibility of a sequel to the movie, and he said there were some ongoing discussions, but nothing's come of it yet. Eric Braeden was born and raised in wartime and postwar Germany before relocating to the USA and becoming an actor. He had many roles on tv and in movies before landing the role of Victor Newman on the soap opera "The Young and the Restless" in 1980. He has played that part for 46 years. He also wrote a fascinating autobiography entitled "I'll Be Damned." The other female scientist was played by Marion Ross, whom you may recognize as Lorelai's grandmother "Trix" on "Gilmore Girls." I couldn't help but notice how many times you guys said, "Just turn it off!", which of course is a reasonable reaction. I just wonder if we try to apply that to today's AI which is embedded into our lives and reality, especially an AI program that has been created solely by another AI program without any help from humans, will there actually be a way to "just turn it off." On a side note, I'm realizing that most of the movies I've picked have been bleak or hopeless or weird or depressing (except for "Notting Hill"). I really am basically a happy guy -- really! -- so I'll try to pick something uplifting next time. I promise.

Imagine a triple feature.... I'd be chain smoking by the end

Youtalkingtome

I still haven't seen Jaws 4 but I really want to! I love a bad movie

Youtalkingtome

I did not unfortunately! We caught James Hong though!

Youtalkingtome

Soap actors are no joke. So much dialogue with so little time

Youtalkingtome

I love that you bring the darkness! All your picks are awesome Jeff. This would be a perfect Saturday afternoon watch.

Actuarial Lurker

The remake should be called "Palantir- the Thiel Project"

Ben Gilbert

I only recognized her because I saw her name in the credits.

Insomnia movie, Kevin! 😉

The writer, James Bridges, has a few other notable films under his belt that he wrote and directed, including The Paper Chase, Mike’s Murder, Urban Cowboy, and The China Syndrome, which is an absolute must-see for white knuckle thrillers.

I *strongly* recommend "A Person of Interest", the TV show. Putting my recommendation here tells you *something* about it. But I will only say - it starts as an interesting, gritty "procedural" - and transforms into something magnificent and monstrous. *strongly* recommended.
