I am certain that Westworld with Yul Brynner is the best movie ever. Are there any references from reliable sources that support this. More honestly ( talk) 02:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Michael Crichton liked Westworld so much that he rewrote it as Jurassic Park. The plot both times: the main attractions at a high-tech amusement park go nuts and attack the visitors. (Spielberg's film version became Jaws on land; it could have been called Landshark.) I'd say that Yul Brynner is more fun as the villain than T-Rex or a rubber shark. And if you like Westworld, you may enjoy " A Fistful of Datas". — Kevin Myers 02:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
… which brings up an interesting point. We don't appear to have the 8 basic plots documented anywhere in the encyclopaedia. (No, this is not the Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations.) Yes, the figure 8 is deliberate. Your challenge at this reference desk, should you choose to accept it, is to ignore Christopher Booker, who even though writing in 2004 wasn't aware that the accepted 20th century count was actually eight, and name all eight. Enjoy Umberto Eco's 9 basic moves for James Bond movies along the way. ☺ Uncle G ( talk) 15:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I remembered watching a horror movie about a native american evil spirit chasing after a young couple. Where ever the couple went, the evil spirt followed. This evil spirit could transform into a man and drive a car to chase after the couple. At night, the spirit transformed into a kite with a big scary face and flied by the window to grab one of the couple in a room. I think this movie was filmed in the 1970s or early 1980s. Does anybody know the title of this movie? 174.114.236.41 ( talk) 02:58, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Could someone have an independent look at Babylon 5's use of the Internet and rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated, which to me seem bordering on non-notability due to lack of references independent of source, etc. I don't wish to tag for deletion , as I don't know if there is some good reason why these articles are notable.

When did it begin and what is the history about how circular track racing began to race in a counter clockwise direction. Why not Clockwise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.248.31.4 ( talk) 18:37, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything about the Raging Boll's pro/amateur fight record? I'd like to add the data to his article. I couldn't find it online, which kinda makes sense, as it will all have been about 25 years ago. Does anyone have access to old boxing almanacs that might contain this info (or know where I might be able to find it)? Note, I'm not talking about the recent events at which he fought a bunch of film critics in the ring but the results of his proper fights from back in the day. -- 90.240.160.106 ( talk) 18:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
