But...Yeah, not Marvel's finest week for covers. But among them, I'll join with Dave and go with the comic version of "Raiders". Partly for nostalgia; I bought that book out of ongoing enthusiasm after having seen the film. Watching "Raiders" still fires my enthusiasm. <br /><br />My wife and I watched "For Your Eyes Only" a couple months ago. First time I'd seen it in years; it actually held up fairly well as one of the best Moore episodes. Especially liked Topol's appearance....Redartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221459636234713619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-11899555518961198452021-09-15T15:26:05.912+01:002021-09-15T15:26:05.912+01:00Sean - agree with you about Run Lola Run: it's...Sean - agree with you about Run Lola Run: it's really good and well worth a watch!Dave Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562199843047738071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-90786996432004054932021-09-15T14:32:40.650+01:002021-09-15T14:32:40.650+01:00Hi, Gary.

Just off the top of my head - Fitzcarraldo, Wings Of Desire, Run Lola Run, Goodbye Lenin...<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-4687262442631403182021-09-14T21:16:32.349+01:002021-09-14T21:16:32.349+01:00Yeah, thats a good painting by Chaykin, Steve. The...Yeah, thats a good painting by Chaykin, Steve. The other one is ok, but its for a Bond flick.<br /><br />For Your Eyes Only also appeared in the regular comic book format, as a two issue limited series. <br />Marvel Super Special was used for a lot of film adaptations, and after Star The Empire Strikes Back Wars it wasn't unusual for them to turn up as a comic too - Bladerunner, Conan, Dune... its probably easier to list the ones that didn't, like Xanadu and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (actually, I think that last one didn't even appear as a Super Special).<br /><br />I suppose the logic behind doing both was that a magazine would have an appeal as a tie-in to the wider audience that didn't read "comics". <br />Although its always seemed strange to me Marvel did more film adaptations in the 80s, when home video was a thing.<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-39445189565289968672021-09-14T20:42:25.073+01:002021-09-14T20:42:25.073+01:00Charlie, I've never seen M and can, therefore,...Charlie, I've never seen <i>M</i> and can, therefore, offer no opinions upon it.<br /><br />Dave, they're not a great set of covers.
