A film I have long wanted to see, but couldn't find anywhere is the 1973 production of Eugene O'Neill's THE ICEMAN COMETH. Finally watched all four hours of it on Tubi, directed by John Frankenheimer, and starring Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, and Frederic March.

THIS it's so important to me. seeing a hero working to rescue her brother purely out of love, not just obligation for losing him. it's so beautiful
Underrated part about the WILDWOOD promo cycle: seeing a happy & healthy sibling relationship on screen. Kid brother isn't an ingrate, big sister doesn't feel burdened a la LABYRINTH. And it's handled so naturally too. Genuinely stoked to see this on the big screen.

The media's run with Wildwood taking 15-16 years to make but that's from when the book was released and optioned by Laika! Actual production was 5-6 years.
"Wildwood" took nearly 15 years to make, with 231 puppets and 136 sets, making it the longest stop motion film ever made.
