The end of the movie is exhibit A for why models can be as cool or cooler than cgi. It also has great characters,script and direction.

On my cable it's usually on some Encory channel every week and doesn't need editing for content, if you can't catch it there for sure watch it at some point.

You'll never see Devil's Tower the same.

The model is in the smithsonian. It's crazy that they made it with parts from train sets. All the antenaae were light posts. They also had ww-2 planes on it, R2D2 and a small town and a US mailbox.

But a really cool model

It's been about 9 years since I watched it, and I loved it then, want to watch it again now.

Agreed. I was at the EMP Museum in Seattle a few weeks ago and was thinking the same thing while going through their collection of sci-fi and horror costumes, models, and props.

I remember seeing it in 99' and being blown away. A few years ago I watched it and it was kind of slow.
