Yay! So happy you jumped in, especially after our fun B-movie exchange the other day. I don't think I can tell you how excited I am to see The Dark Crystal make the list! My family is obsessed with this movie. I have a book about it with all kinds of sketches from Brian Froud with the original artwork. They have some of the puppets at the Center for Puppetry Arts here in Atlanta, and I've gone through the exhibit multiple times and still feel awe every time I go through. My life would not be the same without Jim Henson. I can also put you and @foxyspirit at east to know the Netflix adaptation is actually fantastic. We've only watched four episodes so far, but I feel it is very much in the spirit of the original and they didn't overdo it trying to modernize the characters. I actually almost added this to my list because technically the skeksis were aliens on Thra.
Excellent other choices, as well! I sometimes have movies or music like that, where the first watch or listen I think it's shit, but then I come back and end up really enjoying it. I suppose sometimes you just have to be in the right mood or mindset for certain things. Glad we could help give you something to write about as we are pumped to have your choices in the lineup!
That's good to know! I'll start it this weekend 😁

Thanks, @plantstoplanks
I actually started watching The Dark Crystal on Netflix a couple of days ago....
Still need to make up my mind about whether I like it a lot, or just a little 😉
I do agree they didn't overdo it modernizing the characters.
It's tough to beat the original, but I'm digging it so far. We'll see how they carry it through to the finish. Normally we'll blaze right through a series, but still trying to draw this one out and not watch it all at once to savor the nostalgia. :)
Hahaha, same here. Binge watching everything, but taking The Dark Crystal one episode at a time :0)
