We actually own both on DVD but we haven't see either in a very long time. The last flick looks like a very funny movie and one we haven't seen. So, I'm definitely going to look for it.

Somewhat dated as to special effects used in films now, but I still love them, and the actors too. It's just a good afternoon -or evening - to sit and enjoy these well made films annually and take yourself back to a kinder/gentler time. #3 is one I've seen, but at the moment, not really remembering a lot about. #1 & #2 are among my fav all time films, though. TFS & Hugs. (and even though the sinking boat had more impressive special effects, don't think the characters had the chops that Mr. Heston did!)

I really appreciate your synopses of these films, and the humor you share along the way, too. I laughed and laughed at "love boat sinking." <br /><br />I wanted to comment on the comment you left about the ink I used to transfer the images to fabric. I used TONER INK from my LASER printer, not dye, pigment, or solvent ink used in rubber stamping. Thanks for the comment, though, because I must not have been exactly clear in my tutorial.<br />Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-71999556176021974052017-03-18T00:34:17.294-04:002017-03-18T00:34:17.294-04:00Yes, Jesus is never seen, just understood.
