The Love War (1970 TV Movie) User Reviews

Duel wasn't the only good Movie of the Week...

[gravity3 · 7/10 · 21 December 2004]

Like most of the comments here, I'm working off of my childhood memory. But the fact that I remembered the title after all these years has to count for the quality of the storyline, low-budget or not.

I have several scenes of this film stuck in my brain - which I won't give away here should we actually get a DVD box set of the Best of the Movies of the Week some day (hint, hint). But I have to go on record as saying that Spielberg's DUEL isn't the only TV film ABC produced under the Movie of the Week banner that is worthy of note. I'd venture to guess that there were a dozen of these suspense/horror/sci-fi genre films nearly as good (or better) as much of the summer movies we're seeing in theaters these days (and I'm talking about storytelling, not effects and explosions). That may not say as much about the quality of those TV movies as the lack thereof in modern films. But LOVE WAR in particular, was one I watched every time it was on and has held up - at least in my mind.

I'd love to see it again, if only for the sake of nostalgia.

When it was Love, Extraterrestrial Style...

[zillabob · 7/10 · 15 February 2007]

Back in the day, I saw this on a Sunday afternoon syndicated movie(about 1975). Apparently it was a 1970 ABC movie of The Week(Networks did some terrific-but cheaply made- movies of the week, back in those halcyon 70's days.. of a sci-fi or horror nature, like Earth 2, The Stranger Within,Killdozer, The People, Don't Be Afraid of The Dark, The Horror At 37,000 Feet, Gargoyles..way before Sci Fi Channel put on mostly made for TV garbage of recent years. In fact, Sci Fi Channel, in their old days of the mid-90's re-ran many of these old films as well as TNT/TBS back in their retro format years). I think the word "Love" was in style-Love American Style, Love Story, etc all coming out the same year. Lloyd Bridges (who did a lot of made for TV'ers in them days) plays an alien who comes to earth to fight other aliens as the two races have declared the earth their battleground. Bridge's alien claims he's fighting the good fight and going to win the battle and, the earth will be left alone by his race, as he says that if the other race wins, they'll take over earth. Or will they? It's his word against theirs.He falls in love with the earthly Angie Dickinson and reveals his secret to her-you can guess the twist ending to that. Done kind of like a color Outer Limits episode made into a film. Special effects are not bad, for the day, and we only once ever glimpse, quickly, the alien's true visage, from a distance, before it turns... so we know while they look like us, they're quite alien. The aliens can see each other apart from the earthlings via special glasses. Fun stuff for, and of the time.

It doesn't insult our intelligence!

[F Gwynplaine MacIntyre · 7/10 · 14 October 2005]

I saw 'The Love War' more than 30 years ago on Australian television, while I was working double shifts in a Sydneyside slaughter-yard. I found this low-budget TV-movie deeply enjoyable, for two reasons: firstly, it was science fiction at a time when I was starved for even half-decent SF. Secondly, I've always maintained that science fiction is about *ideas*, not hardware and special effects. 'The Love War' has no ray guns, no spaceships: if you watched this movie with the sound off, you'd barely realise it's science fiction.

The film begins in an airport jetty. We see Lloyd Bridges come hirpling along, with an extreme limp. We never do learn the precise explanation for how he got the limp ... but we learn very shortly that he's an extraterrestrial, or at least that he claims to be one. This raises a lot of questions that never do get answered: if the aliens are able to equip themselves with human bodies, then why has Bridges got a body with a gimpy left ankle?

Anyroad, it soon turns out that there are two different alien species on Earth. Two planets are at war with each other, and their best soldiers have decided to duke it out on Earth rather than on their homeworlds. Sucks to any humans who get hurt. Apparently, the two rival sets of aliens are able to disguise themselves so perfectly as humans that the only way they can rumble each other is through sunglasses with special lenses. (Why don't they get contact lenses?)

Bridges is on the run from the aliens, although it's not immediately clear whether he's on the run from the aliens on the *other* planet -- his enemies -- or whether he's on the run from his own people, because he wants to defect to Earth and live as a human. This raises still more questions that never do get answered: if Bridges successfully goes to earth on Earth and lives out his days as a human, what will happen to this body he's wearing -- presumably not a genuine human body -- when he eventually dies? Will he just self-combust, like the dead aliens in 'The Invaders'?

Well, Bridges crosses paths with gorgeous blonde Earthwoman Angie Dickinson, who falls in love with him surprisingly quickly. There is a 'surprise' ending which I saw coming from about twelve parsecs away, but I enjoyed the trip it took to get there. The actors give such earnest performances that I accepted them as extraterrestrials, despite very little evidence. At the very end of the movie, we get a glimpse of two of the aliens through a pair of sunglasses. Still, this movie might have been more interesting if the actors and director had played it for more ambiguity, making Bridges's haggard protagonist more like the enigmatic character played by Kevin Spacey in 'K-PAX': is he a genuine alien, or is he a deluded human who has convinced himself he's an alien, as a defence mechanism against insanity?

Part of the problem with 'The Love War' (besides its irrelevant and generic title) is that this story didn't really have to be science fiction: it would have worked much more credibly if the two rival sets of aliens had been human all along: two rival mafia clans, for instance, or modern incarnations of the Hatfields and McCoys. Or the Jets and the Sharks. Worse luck, this TV movie bears a strong resemblance to a science-fiction story by Kris Neville that was published about twenty years earlier: anyone who's read that story will have no trouble guessing the end of this movie.

I enjoyed 'The Love War', but would like to have seen the same premise without the science-fiction garnishes. I'll rate this TV movie 7 out of 10. It doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence, and that's a rare achievement indeed.

Well, it was amusing way back in the day ...

[DaCritic-2 · 14 August 2000]

Okay, first of all, I was very young when I first saw this movie. I must have been all of ten years old. At that time, I thought it was pretty neat... two alien races conducting a discrete little war on Earth, unbeknownst to us mere Earthlings. When an alien agent kills another, they turn a key in the other agent's navel, and *sizzle* the corpse disintegrates. Decent suspense throughout, but remember ... we're talking a made-for-TV movie from 1970, no big-budget special effects.

What I find most amusing now is realizing who was in the movie .. Angie Dickenson, Daniel J. Travanti and LLOYD BRIDGES ... The Late Great Lloyd was very good in this, as an agent trying to protect a human woman (Dickenson) who had gotten caught up in the war, purely by accident.

I have no idea if this movie is available anywhere ... I'd like to see it again. No blockbuster of a movie, but it was fun.

A new quest to find the DVD

[Gandalf_a · 7/10 · 17 October 2013]

I didn't know the title of this film until I outlined the plot on the comments section of the Guardian and someone identified it. It is a great film and an excellent plot. I always think if it stays in your mind it is well worth watching. I'm surprised no one had done a remake of it.

I'm on a quest now to get a region two DVD. If you get the opportunity of seeing it it is highly recommended. I will keep on searching. I've made progress now I know the title of the film.

Hopefully if enough sci-fi enthusiasts add comments here they may produce one.

Could THE LOVE WAR be a remake of an earlier film?

[ChrisD67 · 6/10 · 20 August 2013]

Is it possible that this movie, The Love War, was a remake of an earlier movie. I have very limited memory of the movie I saw in the early 70's. I remember the last 30 min of the film, but my memory is of a man who looked like Rod Taylor, and the female actor had long blond hair, And my memory of the scenery is different too.

I will concede that the problem could very well be my memory, but Angie Dickinson was adored by my father, and I think I would have recognized her if the version I saw had her in it.

I have seen the movie on You-Tube and everything rang a bell, but not the bell I remember. Is it me? Or, was it a remake?

The aliens are here

[AAdaSC · 7/10 · 2 March 2017]

Lloyd Bridges (Kyle) is an alien who is fighting an inter-planetary war on Earth. Two planets have sent 3 representatives to fight it out at designated locations. The aliens take human form and whoever wins gets to control Earth as well. So, the film follows Bridges as he fights this three against three battle. During his mission, he comes across Angie Dickinson (Sandy) whilst travelling on a bus. She takes a shine to him but he is endangering himself by letting her accompany him. Can love conquer all?

This is an entertaining sci-fi offering. It has a minimal cast with what looks like no extras. Sets are deserted. Still, it keeps you watching and the ending is memorable. However, the picture quality is not good. Thankfully, this doesn't ruin the experience.

Science-fiction love story with a twist...not-bad TV-made time-filler

[moonspinner55 · 5/10 · 27 September 2015]

Aaron Spelling-produced TV-movie has attractive, penniless hitchhiker Angie Dickinson latching onto enigmatic bus traveler Lloyd Bridges outside Fresno. After checking into a roadside motel, he tells her what's really going on: he's an alien from the planet Argon, an assassin vying with hit-men from another planet over who will control Earth and its population. Only Aaron Spelling would put the fate of the world in Lloyd Bridges' hands! Film is very low in budget (making extensive use out of back-projection with scenes on the road and backlot sets for the entire final reel), but this scenario turns out to be restricted in regards to locations, so a bigger budget wasn't really necessary (it just looks tacky). There's a plot twist late in the game that is a surprise (though, in hindsight, doesn't make a lot of sense) and the cast does well with the teleplay, which is neither dumbed-down nor overly complex.

One of the earlier sci-fi movies of aliens secreted amongst us in malice.

[b-fawlty · 9/10 · 27 July 2005]

I saw this movie on TV when I was a lot younger but it impressed me. Mainly because despite the unlikely pairing of Loyd Bridges and Angie Dickinson in a Sci-Fi movie it worked quite well. The plot was complex but while moving quickly enough did not become garbled or incoherent as some movies do when trying to achieve the "unexpected". The partnership between the main characters develops quite naturally although it may seem cliché to some in this day and age. Perhaps much of it's charm for me is that it came before many other similar movies and was in its way a ground breaker in this genre. I would love to see it again but as another commented I have yet to see it on either tape or DVD. Not many resources even list it. The title of lost sci-fi classic is quite appropriate and I feel many sci-fi fans would enjoy it if it were available to them.

Solid bit of TV sci-fi

[Red-Barracuda · 6/10 · 9 November 2023]

I do enjoy the cosy charms of a 70's TV movie. This one went out in the U. S. as an ABC Movie of the Week. Its one of several of these kinds of things which veered into sci-fi territory. Its about aliens from the warring planets Zinan and Argon who are currently on Earth, using it as a neutral zone in which to play out their deadly battles. Like many a low budget TV film, the aliens disappointingly take human form. On the plus side we have Lloyd Bridges as one of the warrior aliens and Angie Dickinson as the human woman he meets whom he falls for. Its fairly basic stuff overall but its still well done, with the solid production values of U. S. telly-land underpinning it. The ending has an interesting plot development.

one of aaron spelling's best remembered TV movie but not his best

[wildpeace10 · 4/10 · 29 April 2006]

Perhaps the reason this TV movie is remembered now by older people who saw it in the 70's is because of it's shocking ending.Without revealing too much,it is not a happy one.

it is also an unsatisfying one since we don't clearly understand the motivation behind it.The script writer seems to have tried to end the story with a twist ending but it's brought without excitement and turns out to be flat.

This TV movie which lasts only about 70 minutes (without commercials) was clearly low budget and was probably shot in a very limited time.

There is rear projection in many of the bus scenes and the ending seems to take place on an already constructed western set.The alien devices(apart from the glasses)are not very convincing and the search device sounds exactly like crickets noises!What holds the film together is the relationship between lloyd bridges and angie dickinson even though they don't create the chemistry that they should be creating.

When those two aren't together on screen, most of the film turns to be dull and boring action scenes.Any episode of the one hour police woman series which later starred angie dickinson looks like a masterpiece beside this underdevelopped scripted film.

The''you need glasses to see the aliens'' is a great idea(it was used later in THEY LIVE) and perhaps it's also one reason why the film is remembered today even though the disappearance of the dead alien bodies in flames was probably an idea borrowed from the TV series the invaders. (Domonic frontier who did the theme for the invaders also does the music for this movie) The film holds some good ideas and should probably get remade.it would be very easy to surpass this dated film.

A closet Classic

[souldeep47 · 9/10 · 14 October 2007]

This film is a true closet-classic. I must say i do not recall watching it in the Spring of ' 70 on the TV movie of the week. I was only 10, so i probably was doing homework. I saw it five years later on a "afternoon movie of the week". I was instantly captured. I have not seen it since. I recall Lloyd Bridges running through the streets with some device. I do remember the glasses and the appearance of the Aliens. I would love to see this again. Does anyone on here know how to obtain it? I was a big Outer Limits fan (original series 63-65). And the guy on here that cast this movie as a "Colorized" Outer Limits episode is a great description. It had the same dramatic music in the background if i remember right. These types of films cement the reality that old time TV was better than anything today.

Also remeber a different ending

[agimanir · 7/10 · 27 May 2019]

As ChrisD67 mentions, almost all the movie sits right with my memory except the ending. I found it on the net because I happened to remember Lloyd Bridges had been in it, so I suspect it must be the right movie, especially if you know how bad I am at remembering who played in what. I have watched the movie since, and most of it seems to bring back a recall... except the ending. The ending I remember is Kyle and Sandy, sorta in the pose on the cover artwork, they kiss, and one of them, I think Kyle, disintegrates them both, sacrificing himself to make it a tie. I can find no mention of alternate endings. I have looked up the one movie said to have a plot like it, The Challenge. It has a similar theme but is dissimilar enough to rule it out. About the only Sci-Fi I had watched at the time was The Prisoner and some Twilight Zone episodes, as well as Irwin Allen fair, so the lack of special effects made it more realistic for me.

An interesting idea but with a giant plot problem as well....

[planktonrules · 5/10 · 13 February 2017]

The story idea behind "The Love War" is really neat. Too bad it's undone by a huge and obvious plot problem.

The film is set on Earth in the present day. Two teams of aliens are having a private war among us and they look just like us. But, if the aliens use special glasses, they can see their enemies and kill them. On one side is Kyle (Lloyd Bridges) and he spends most of the film running about avoiding the other aliens and killing them when he gets the chance. Along the way, he meets an apparent human woman, Sandy (Angie Dickenson) and she sees him make one of his kills disappear! Instead of killing her or erasing her memory somehow, he brings her along with him...something that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What makes even more sense is that he automatically assumes she's a human and NEVER uses his special glasses to see if she's the enemy. And at the end, guess what...she's an alien baddie...just like EVERYONE watching the film guessed long ago!

Predictability is a serious problem and so is how quickly the pair seem to fall in love...it just makes no sense. I wish they'd just worked out the plot problems better before they filmed this one...because it had real promise.

The Love War and The Challenge-- Siamese Twin flicks

[davidemartin · 29 April 2001]

George McGowan must have liked this plot, as he did a second movie along a similar theme that same season for ABC MOVIE OF THE WEEK. That film, THE CHALLENGE, had Darren McGavin in the Lloyd Bridges role. Both films had the same premise-- rather than an all-out war between two forces, a select group of champions is chosen to fight it out, winner take all. McGowan obviously did not care for the final version of THE CHALLENGE, as he attached the dreaded Alan Smithee name to its directorial credit. Maybe THE LOVE WAR is closer to how he wanted to end that other film?

Lloyd Bridges had a great deal going during those wonderful days of the MOVIE OF THE WEEK series. He got a wide range of roles, from action roles like this to horror flicks like HAUNTS OF THE VERY RICH to dramas like SILENT NIGHT LONELY NIGHT. In terms of number of films made, I'd say he and Darren McGavin were the most prolific actors (Bridges= 14, McGavin = 11), with Christopher George and Doug McClure fighting for 3rd and 4th places.

I was fourteen when I saw these and man, did that ending take me by surprise! 31 years later, I'm still not sure what happened after the film's events ended..... Talk about a "Lady or the Tiger" ending!

Lloyd Bridges can't carry this by himself

[petewood-59951 · 3/10 · 25 February 2021]

The only thing I liked about this movie is Lloyd Bridges. Everybody else is just way too wooden. The ending makes no sense given the paremeters of the game. If this three on three matchup of the two planets is really a substitute for war, it's really hard to swallow that it is so easy to cheat in the game. The evil side breaks the rules constantly even to the point of having four aliens instead of three. Wouldn't somebody be monitoring things?

Thank god for the internet!

[orman · 10/10 · 10 July 2007]

Like most of the other comments I also saw this as a kid...I don't even think I knew it was a sci-fi movie at the beginning...but as they chased each other and fired their guns...I got very involved.

So I was excited to see it available for download on the internet! I don't want to start a discussion about downloads! I would have paid to obtain this movie thru normal channels (will if someone tells me where..seriously I feel that strongly about it...Tori Spelling maybe?) I didn't even think it was possible since I don't think VHS was even around back then. Any ways I set it to download...since its so rare it took 6 1/2 months (not kidding...I think only one other person was making it available) and this morning 5:47 est, to my surprise it had finished.

Like Indiana Jones holding a diamond....I pressed the "PLAY" button.

Yes I enjoyed it! The whole war issue it brings up is a great a conversation piece now as it was back then. It has lost nothing...

But the most important part for me! After 37 1/2 years later I get a second look thru those glasses! I can finally cross it off my list of things to do...seriously...I never thought I would see it again..but really wanted to...and now I have.

Just a trip to the moon and my list is complete and I can die a happy man...

...I really thought the trip to moon would be crossed off before I saw this movie again! (wink)

Excellent TV Movie!

[fluna1030 · 10/10 · 12 April 2010]

...there aren't many "Made For TV" movies that stand out . . . But, This One Does!!! My earliest memory of this TV movie was back when it was shown on the ABC TV Network Show "Tuesday Movie Of The Week" (I saw it in Black & White, It IS in Color) in 1970. This is a story of aliens from two different planets to wage war against each other . . and staying oblivious to earthlings on what's going on with each other. In my opinion, this movie reminds me of the TV show "The Invaders" (also a show on ABC) but, with a different twist & story line. Lloyd Bridges (Remember Sea Hunt?), Angie Dickensen (Police Woman) & Daniel J. Travanti (Hill St. Blues) star in this movie. As a collector of movies from my past, I have yet to see this title available on either VHS, BETA, LASERDISC, or DVD. This title is also very hard to catch on Cable or anywhere else. If you're one of the lucky ones to watch it, This TV Movie is Excellent Entertainment!! Enjoy.

Prime re-make material

[mitcheroo · 23 September 2000]

Whole decades have passed since I've seen this one. Up until the late-70's, "The Love War" was TV grist for the afternoon just-home-from-school crowd or nightowls on the independent stations. It has since vanished.

Lousy title, but a terrific premise: aliens fight a low-level, unseen war in a U.S. city for territorial control of the Earth. Some neat special effects (for 1970), a starry cast and a twist in the tale make this worth another look. Certainly worth consideration for a re-make.

You think Jeff is the only Bridges who does sci-fi? Guess again!

[Carycomic · 10/10 · 21 June 2008]

Like a lot of other reviewers, here, I saw this a long time ago. It was telecast on old Channel 9, out of New Jersey. I tuned in a little bit late. But, I stopped channel-surfing when I recognized who the stars were.

Lloyd Bridges, the veteran air-traffic controller from that hilarious disaster-spoof AIRPLANE; and Angie Dickinson, the sexy actress who played the first slasher-victim in Briam Depalma's DRESSED TO KILL!

I think the real reason Channel 9 telecast that particular movie, however, was the presence of co-star Daniel J. Travanti (credited in the film as "Dan Travanty"). The latter was then-known as "Capt. Frank Furillo, NYPD," on the NBC crime-drama HILL STREET BLUES.

If you've read the other reviews, you already know the basic plot. Two teams of aliens--three beings per team--fighting for possession of our unsuspecting planet. And, Ms. Dickinson's character as a poor innocent by-stander caught in the middle.

For those who have grown up with series like X-FILES, THE VISITOR, and STARGATE: SG1, this premise will not seem new. But, back in the early/mid-Eighties, when Channel 9 first aired this, it was refreshingly innovative! To me, anyway.

And, like the other reviewers, I sincerely wish it would be re-released on DVD. If only so I can see my parents' reaction to the twist ending (they're big fans of the movies' lead actors)!

Good story ready for a remake:

[CatoTSR2 · 8/10 · 9 November 2006]

A really strange esoteric sci-fi movie, that came out of the 70s creative culture period: Lloyd Bridges and Angie Dickenson, in a sexy exciting winner takes all,inter galactic rival war,on planet earth: Only identifiable by some really cool looking sexy shades. These aliens were out to kill each other,by hook or crook,cloned as humans! Climatic ending, resulting in a Moor-ssh want for a sequel,that never was.Shame really,yet another one of these black and white 70s B movies,that never gets an airing on afternoon time TV. Out of the Brotherhood of The Bell, Mould: Time for the cover version chaps, Im thinking Charlize Theron and Daniel Craig for the 2008 remake!

So I finally got to see it too!

[HyperPup · 28 February 2009]

I feel as though an angel has smiled on me. After years of wanting to see this movie I finally saw it. This was one of the ABC movie of the week deals that I learned about in high school back in the 80's. Unfortunately I was born a scant 5 or 6 months before it aired on ABC, which meant my parents were probably enjoying it whilst I was napping in my crib in another room. I can't remember how I found out about it back in 1988 but I did, and had a nice enough of a working idea of the plot to attempt a remake of my own. That became my senior video project in my Mass Media class and while it got me an "A" in the class, it didn't garner me much recognition. I even built the props in addition to making the script! The producers needn't get their lawyers ready as I have long since lost the footage of me and my friends running around reenacting what was poorly but cogent rendition of their movie. However it would be nice if someone would remake the movie for a more modern retelling. A good made for TV movie with a nice twist-ending.

The Love War....After all These Years

[chicosan01 · 10/10 · 13 December 2007]

Thanks to you all for your comments. It is nice to see there are other 'The Love War' people out there. Several of you mention you were ten when you say it for the first time, I was about the same age. Like Duel (which has been commented on several times) and several episodes of Hawaii 5-0 (I lived in Hawaii as a child), I've remembered this film ever since seeing it the first time. I was living in Hawaii at the time and even remember what I was doing while watching. It is amazing that these 'movies of the week' could have such an impact. Was it because they were so good, or because we were so impressionable? I too would like to see it again. But, even more, I think it is ripe for a remake. If Battlestar Gallactica can be remade from a shlocky, 80's boondogle into a serious, exciting, suspenseful quality series, why couldn't 'The Love War' be remade for SCIFI channel?

A good film and great window into history

[svtcobra331 · 9/10 · 11 July 2022]

This film was a well-crafted story. It still works as a film that's based on a story rather than characters or production values. Ms Dickinson shines as the wholesome girl-next-door with just the right amount of verve.

The basic story is that two teams are going to fight for Earth's destiny. One team is evil cheaters that wants to destroy Earth, the other team altruistically wants to preserver Earth for its own inhabitants. The movie becomes interesting when debating the question of "who are we to fight" and "these people are warlike anyway".

Film fans will enjoy this movie.

Historians will also enjoy seeing 1970s California. Billboards, not so many cars, no imported cars.

Then there's the cringeworthy: it used to be an acceptable plot mechanism that a beautiful woman sits next to the handsome man and they form a connection. That doesn't work so much in a modern film. Excusable since the film was on a budget and they didn't have budget for a time lapse where the couple eventually meets. It still caused cringe, though.

A bit of shame also: every extra in the movie is white. This was AFTER all the civil rights marches. So if anyone today thinks a switch just got flipped and all the racial problems went away, this film, like all other films and tv shows of the era, didn't employ people of color. This is historically noteworthy but doesn't make it a bad or offensive film.

Fans of the movie making process can savor all of the modern techniques that could have been used to add impact to certain scenes and if drone cameras were available back then the battle scenes could have been better choreographed.

Three solid actors in this movie, including "Dan Travanty" still sporting a squeaky voice. Mr Bridges was my hero as a kid watching Sea Hunt, and he did fine. Ms Dickinson was very easy on the eyes and played an early version of an empowered woman who was still feminine and likeable. Not the distant kung fu expert of Emma Peel nor the bumbling but competent That Girl. Just a gal you like to be around that has your back and knows what she wants.

Men and fear

[qmontoya · 14 March 2007]

According to real conditions at that time, I have got two words after all these years: shocking and reliable. Let's remember that hatred across the world towards Americans had been triggered due to Uncle Sam's intrusion in Vietnam's "internal" affairs. The Love War serves to present America with what it would be like to be invaded, and have their own ground jeopardized. The title of course subtly suggests a certain care however; it is America that we are talking about this time for God's sake! The Cold War would alert America's national interest in an attempt to keep their eyes wide opened. Certainly, Uncle Sam's apprehension was not quite out of control those days. The Love War one of those great, old movies that keeps you attached to your seat was immerse into this "ambience." I saw this movie when I was just a child--nearly 10 I think--, and I have to admit that I really bought it: imagine... an outsider like me clearly shocked... what about insiders then? The Love War is one of those witty movies that makes you raise a WHAT IF SO ? I loved it though. I could not agree more with those comments expressing an intention to see it again... for memories' sake.
