Uchu kaijû Gamera (1979)
Not Canon with Previous Gamera films - more like a "Best-Of" Dream-Sequence
This movie relies on stock footage of past films.
This is not an actual reappearance of the Gamera from the past Showa films. It is a reboot, and does not depict the death of the "real" Gamera. It's also strongly hinted that the whole movie is a dream or in the imagination of Keiichi. It doesn't fit in the continuity of the other films at all.
I've heard that Diamond Entertainment, (one of the companies that distributed the English dubbed versions), didn't include this film in their collection. They went as far as to say Gamera vs. Zigra (1971) was Gamera's last film in the Showa series.
So, it's either a reboot, a dream or both. It's certainly the least important film in the series and seems like it tried to be a "best of" collection rather than a film.
Since most of the Gamera scenes use stock footage from the previous movies, you would be better off watching the original films instead of this one.
Love Happy (1949)
The Marx Brothers' Last Film: Still Good!
I always thought that if I had to pick a worst film of the Marxes, that this would be it. But, can I ever say I dislike a movie with Groucho, Harpo, and Chico (and sometimes Zeppo) in it? Hell no! Before I first saw it years ago, I never heard of it before that and was really glad that I did, and had to see it. When I finally saw it, I wasn't disappointed, considering it was their very last official film together. Most of every comedy team's last films aren't as good as they used to be, but so what! Enjoy the chance to see them one last time! Recommended to any Marx Bros. fan!
By the way, note Groucho's mustache and eyebrows in this. They're not the classic grease-paint, he was working on "You Bet Your Life" at the time, and ditched the fake ones.
