Stonewall (1995)
A Masterpiece
Having been the the Village in the 1960's, I can vouch for the accuracy of this film and the depiction of the Village during that era, except for a sort of inaccurate image of the exterior of the Stonewall bar.
The characters are representations of real people (the head of the Mattachine Society, the leader of the Daughters of Bilitis, the mafioso and the queen coming out) that I knew in the movement back then.
Being gay or trans gender back then was very rough: the scenes of police brutality are frank and graphic, especially the cops' dunking La Miranda's head under water... The cops did a similar thing to me.
If you want to see how far the LGBT movement has progressed, see this film.
Tremors (1990)
Great Flick --- A Classic of its Genre
I stumbled upon this film while channel hopping and saw what looked like Rural Nevada.
I live in Nevada and loved the picture, even though the it is filmed in Inyo County, CA.
I have seen the picture around 4 or 5 times and never get bored. The location is authentic and there ARE towns in rural Nevada (Coaldale (ghost town)and Rachel, for example)that do look like Perfection.
Even though I live near Area 51 and the Tonopah Test range and have real scary things around me, I this picture kept me at the edge of my seat, even after several viewing.
I grew up in the 1950's and this (film) reminds my of the Saturday afternoon flicks that we kids used to go to.
