Thank you for putting this on. I used to watch this movie with my dad when I was a kid, and we would go to our family cottage just me and him and we would always sit down on the couch late at night and watch this movie he passed away 3 years ago now. I forgot all about this movie till today, and it brought a tear to my eye.
This movie in my humble opinion is perfect - a true masterpiece of liminal spaces and quiet and calm dreamscape. Capturing the essence of the 90s in a digital bottle realm to be consumed on long nights of slumber
Thanks for posting this video. I actually watched it the first time it was broadcasted on FREE television. At that time, Steven King movies were all over the place. Great fun.
Man, I saw this in the nineties as a four part miniseries. Been so long. What a great surprise to come across this. Going to enjoy the next couple of hours :D

There have been lots of adaptations of Stephen King's stories. This has been one of the best, because genuinely humanly engaging. I really cared about these people - in their old, and new, situations! Many thanks - to Stephen King, the actors and directors of this movie. And to you for posting it!
Remember when 99% of the population used to understand that obnoxious bravado, overcritical trash talk, and aggression was all embarrassing, immature behavior? Now, more ppl seem to do it and are totally disconnected from any sense of reality (until they get punched in the face, that is). Social media has to be the culprit for the spread of the troll.
Thank you for posting this!! I saw it on TV as a kid, and I've never forgotten it, or Bronson Pinchot's unhinged portrayal of the already unhinged Craig Toomey. The way Dinah says "CrAEg" over and over cracks me up every time. This movie is pure camp, and i love it. Quality looks fantastic, good call on the upscale.

I always hated every part of every movie when they know they need to move and hurry but then they also take their time just standing and doing nothing...
Great movie! Glad I decided to wait to watch the full story in one sitting...and actually not sad that it took more than thirty-five years to do it,lol.
Months after visiting my long-distance ex-girlfriend I watched this practically on loop as the airport setting somehow made me miss her less I've always loved the 90s atmosphere it has along with the liminality of a deserted airport
I remember watching this movie as a kid around the late 90s on UK Television, possibly BBC1 late at night. It was such a unique film to see and so glad im getting to see it again!
The scene at 1:10-1:30 made me miss the '90s. Something about evening time in the '90s makes me nostalgic. Maybe because school was over and the whole family was together. Neighborhood friends were available to ride bikes, play sports and tag.
Now they just have to explain why there's a dead girl who was stabbed and why all the flight crew and other passengers are missing 😂 Seriously though, I freaking love this movie. And that includes the hokey acting and ridiculous monsters. There's something so cozy about old made-for-tv horror movies. Especially ones adapted from Stephen King.
There's a time rift in the sky above mojave desert, waiting for any unsuspecting plane to cross it. By the time the movie ends, several flights already ended up as langolier food. So my guess is guess the dead girl will be the least of their worries.
The passengers went to the time rift and into the past not to mention time travel to alter it, but it is to where everyone and everything is empty. why? because everyone is in the present because they are part of the present they are following reality and separate from time in a two single lines (line of time & line of reality) where nothing can travel back in time to alter and change the past. so tomorrow (as the Future) becomes today (as the Present) and then it becomes yesterday (as the Past) so today is normal as the present the one they came from before plane takeoff and when today becomes yesterday its frozen time after everyone and everything is leaving today before reality is empty as part of the past to left it remain behind and the only way everyone is moving forward by keeping remain in the present away from the past is by always following tomorrow and then turning tomorrow into today so they can be safe for now and the past is waiting for the Langoliers to eat the past by following behind and turn it into nothing as blank. and finally the people of the present brought their own time with them and inside of the plane is the present and outside of it is the past.
@@MPT1983 In the novel, all flights eastbound are delayed because of an "unusual weather pattern above mojave desert". So i guess the authorities will be glad to have survivors, and will carefuly listen to their story
This is King's novel, basically unchanged in this movie adaptation... Every line spoken in the movie is in the book. That's very rare. If you watch the movie "The Shining", it's completely different from King's novel.
If you mean Kubrick's version of The Shining, even Stephen King himself hated it. Later he produced another version, it was more like tv movie in 2 parts, I think. And it was better than first one with Jack Nicholson
The way they chose to end this film, of all films, with a freezeframe of them laughing joyfully as one jumps and yells "YEAH!"... It's truly amazing. The Shining wishes it was that brave. ;)
We need a sequel to this movie.. What happened after they arrived back in their own time? What did they say to the authorities? Did Laurel visit the man in Belfast? Did Brian ever fly an aircraft again? And what happened to Albert and Bethany?

I remember watching the miniseries on TV with my husband. Our family was on the way home from upstate NY, Adirondacks. We made sure to be in a motel with snacks and drinks on time to watch.
oh man, now i want to remember (i reread and watched this like a month ago or less) each character in their heads thought it sounded like a different thing, agree to me it mostly did sound like cereal. rice crispies crackling esp.
Home by myself on Halloween sick with a UTI,🤢 so had to call out of work 3 days to recoup. Was scrolling looking for something spooky to watch & I can’t believe I haven’t seen this!!!! Love Stephen King! It’s only about 10 minutes in but I think this is just what the dr. Ordered!
I don't get them often, but UTI aren't fun and can actually become serious. For future help, consider buying some d-mannose. Don't need prescription and it can help get rid of UTI faster.
I watched this back in 1927 while I was helping invent the very first television with Philo. Man, we had some good times drinking beer & smoking our weed vapes while we took a break & ordered some food on DoorDash & watched this movie. Really nostalgic memories to this one man 🙏
what a 90's ending - no mention of the massive amounts of paperwork and inquiries from the police that follows. We really did know how to move on back then
@@ScoutMotto2011 The FAA? More like every branch of the military would be on maximum alert when this flight (and maybe others) never arrived to their destination, and after the rift was found. Also, its weird how the airport seems to be operation normally in such situation Maybe the autorities don't want to cause mass panic by shutting down all traffic
You don't know, the film ended they very well could have been questioned. BUT since it's a paranormal event I'm sure it'd be covered up somehow and it would make it to the front page. Maybe so small town tabloid somewhere would have the story alongside Big Foot sighting pieces.
@@SamuelBlack84 They mentioned notifying the authorities but wanted to celebrate being back. I'm sure there is more story to tell after their happy moment. 90s films just ended things when the characters are ina good place and didn't focus on police or law enforcement. hence why in action movies cops always show up when everything is over and the movie is ending. I don't think they just 'moved on'.
I have only watched this movie a few times, maybe only two… When I was young and just now. I remember it being no less satisfying at either point in my life. Stephen, you are the King. And one hell of a story teller. I will always be a fan of your work. Maybe one day I’ll be able to tell you of something rather interesting as a way of giving back. Thanks for all you do. Sincerely Brenda Dontcha
@benjaminjantzen1398 But Toomey's luck he probably would've lost the Crypto key harddrive in a landfill, and spend the next 30 years of his life trying to find it.
If the passengers' dental bridgework, pacemakers personal items were left behind? Why not their clothes too? That would have been a spooky touch to the scene. I guess it wasn't in the budget. I guess it would have looked messy too.
I adore it, dont care what anyone says.. i love this. Always will. Having a bad dark time in my life and this is helping me get thru hour by hour. I love David Morse. Poor Mr Toomey
I haven't read the book but I do plan on it, my wife has certainly read it, she's still in love watching "The Langiliers" just as she did in 1995 ❤ she has also read the book.
lol I had a similar experience years back took me forever. But I watch this movie at least 5 times a year. It’s a great film cheesy in today’s standard but back then it was a gem and even now it is.
That entire take-off climactic scene reminded me of the Monty Python sketch with a man running towards you across a field - always a distance away and never getting any nearer.
There's a mistake at 2:48:31 when they look down at LA. You can see a white car driving by the building on the left, when there really shouldn't be anything moving down there. I also read online there was a scene inside the Bangor airport where random people walk in the background somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere.
i mean the made sure to save money on all sorts of stuff making this thing. arguably worse CGI of anything in the 90's for horror (and that says a lot). toomy getting hit in the head 3 times with a toaster wrapped up in a tablecloth in modern movies, with a budget, could've been soooooo gory/awesome, and not even that expensive. obviously a good version of the langoliers themselves would not be inexpensive to film.
yeah the car approaching the building, if you look real closely there's a second car in front of that, it's really small though but definitely there, but only for a couple of seconds.
I saw this film when it first came out on VHS back in the day , in my opinion it's one of the best t.v. movie adaptations of Stephen Kings novels. Thanks for the upload, Awesome quality.
It was in one of his books called Four past Midnight. I have all his stuff. In the book there are other stories. The Sun dog, the library policeman, The langoliers and i think secret garden, secret window .. could be wrong on that one. It was the one about the writer who was stalked by a man who claimed it was his book, id have to check my dusty library back in Cornwall, england where all my old stuff still sits in my big old farmhouse, memories jolted me a bit there😢 xx love to all watching and liking a great film… xx
@@flight101I'll look into buying "Four Past Midnight" in the near future and Your 100% correct Secret Window with johnny Depp and John Torturro is the story adaptation that your talking about. " IT" was my first Stephen King novel that I read, it took me forever to finish it but it was fantastic, terrifying and extremely detailed.
I agree so many want to say that the actual Langoliers was a let down to me this was a good movie it kept u on the edge of ur seat. What do I expect from a tv series had everything suspense a good storyline
Definitely, something I noticed about this movie is it's the only movie adaptation of a Stephen King story that I know of that is basically 100% true to the book. All the other ones have changes.
That's why he was so adamant to get to Boston and openly admit to his sinister employers he intentionally lost a fortune It was an elaborate suicide plan
I feel a little sympathy for Toomey from how abusive his upbringing is described as. I appreciate Dinah's "shining" as a neat plot device for us to see how warped Toomey's perspective is. Really love your banner pic and historical references on your profile, by the way.
Ive always thought about this movie since I was a child. I never could find it anywhere since. I am glad it is now here for all of us… almost like we are the remaining passengers of this flight.
I have only watched this for months. No news. No sitcoms. No game shows. No sports. Nothing on any streaming service. When I get to the end, I start it over. It is my life. It is all I know now.
After seeing this again years later, I realized a couple things that make this so good. First, the creep out you get is very similar to twilight zone in its subtlety, its use of quiet and letting the viewer catch on without gore bombardment. Second, there's not much going on through most of the film but the characters are so great that you are absorbed in them and don't notice or need it.
Same here... There's something about it that makes it a really comfortable movie to watch. It's like hanging out with in a nice warm setting with an old friend.
I just finished and have already hit replay. My best friend passed in July and this movie is I think going to help me get through missing him. We are both actors and there is much to enjoy, appreciate, and chuckle at in this film. It's entertaining, and comforting - need to think, but not too hard, since grief robs one of some brain cells. RIP Sam. I know it's hard loving an introvert, but I did my best and I know you forgive me, you gregarious fellow, you!
I’m always so goddamn impressed with Dean Stockwell’s performance in this film as the mystery writer Bob Jenkins. That should have or could have been a truly awful character, given that he has to repeat ENDLESS amounts of stilted exposition, and it falls on him to literally explain the entire movie around halfway through. He’s mostly an insufferable know-it-all, at least on paper. And yet…. Dean Stockwell as Bob Jenkins is probably the best thing about this miniseries! You can’t help but like him, and you actually *want* to listen to him to talk and explain things. He doesn’t come off as the least bit insufferable, instead I find myself loving every second he’s onscreen. He elevates the entire production. And I can’t stress enough how crazy and illogical all of that is - by all rights his character should drive us all crazy.
Thank you so much for posting this movie, I watched it as a kid and have never forgotten it. I have searched and searched for it, but to no avail. And for the first time in decades, I have now seen it... Once again thank you very much. 👍👍👍❤
I absolutely love this movie. But I always thought the acting was a little cheesy, really the only good acting was from David Morse(pilot) and Bronson Pinchot (psycho Craig)
Thank you for putting this up. It was good to rewatch it. That being said, this is one of my favorite King stories (long or short) and I like the book SOOOO much better than the movie. In the book, you know Toomey's crazy, but you know WHY. Nothing seems as overdone as it is in the movie. The author and his mysteeeeeerious asides. Toomey. Toomey! Dinah. The whole movie is too dramatic.
I was 19 when this series came out on may 14th and 15th of 95 i would of turn 20 on may 16th till this day i remember watching this with my grandma though it was great then as i do now.
I watched this again a few months ago. I’ve just been reading all the comments - if you want to know whether you might be entertained by this old schlocky bit of wonderful- then go ahead and read the comments. I love this movie for all its faults and 30 years ago basic special not so special but really great anyway, effects and some over acting at times. I loved the story when I read it . I loved the movie when I watched it all those years ago. It was on VHS and the quality was terrible from a vhs rental store. It’s Stephen King. It’s freaky and a bit scary and character driven and some of the acting is marvellous making up for some overacting here and there. The ending is cool. Time slipping Mr King style is so uncool that it’s cool. Really freaky tale that twists and turns and is actually ahead of its time. Enjoy 😂 it’s fab!
I think this miniseries could use a bigger budget remake since the CG on the monsters looks so bad. Make them look like the monsters from Attack the Block.
Dude. I was scared straight. That clean, somewhat cartoonish look just adds up to intimidation. It is otherworldly. As if they are saying "we dont care about your reality, or its looks".
The idea of being flyng at 23.000 feet and ends in the X dimension is goosebumps..genius old,original King(not modern one) and thanks a lot for upload this pre - woke 90's little gem.
Worst thing about this movie is it wasn't long enough. They could remake this in a way that is almost in real time. Make it one season long or something. It has so much potential to explore the characters and, perhaps, the environments/world. The characters have quite a bit of depth.
When this originally aired, it was a four part miniseries. I remember being extremely disappointed when I finally got to see what the Langoliers looked like.
@@hexkwondo Dated special effects and challenging to make aesthetically appropriate. It would be challenging still, if redone. Ultimately, they are something that consumes something, leaving nothing.

And I watched it back in 2027. Good year man, good year.
Same and same
Me too when I broke bad
1927Huh’ 😂 more like 1972!
Impossible. This movie doesn’t exist. Mandela effect.
what a 90's ending - no mention of the massive amounts of paperwork and inquiries from the police that follows. We really did know how to move on back then
Or, the presence of a young dead blind girl on an empty plane with a huge stab wound 😂
I thought about that, the investigation by the FAA that would ensue. I'm glad it ended how it did.
@@ScoutMotto2011 The FAA? More like every branch of the military would be on maximum alert when this flight (and maybe others) never arrived to their destination, and after the rift was found. Also, its weird how the airport seems to be operation normally in such situation Maybe the autorities don't want to cause mass panic by shutting down all traffic
You don't know, the film ended they very well could have been questioned. BUT since it's a paranormal event I'm sure it'd be covered up somehow and it would make it to the front page. Maybe so small town tabloid somewhere would have the story alongside Big Foot sighting pieces.
@@SamuelBlack84 They mentioned notifying the authorities but wanted to celebrate being back. I'm sure there is more story to tell after their happy moment. 90s films just ended things when the characters are ina good place and didn't focus on police or law enforcement. hence why in action movies cops always show up when everything is over and the movie is ending. I don't think they just 'moved on'.
I have only watched this movie a few times, maybe only two… When I was young and just now. I remember it being no less satisfying at either point in my life. Stephen, you are the King. And one hell of a story teller. I will always be a fan of your work. Maybe one day I’ll be able to tell you of something rather interesting as a way of giving back. Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely Brenda Dontcha
Thank you for posting this movie, have not seen it in over 20 years.
2:10:46 Gods Pinchot's delivery of those lines really portrayed the insane of a broken man who's finally lost his mind and I love it so much
Adjusted to inflation that 43 million toomey lost Would be about 130 million today.
Think about the Bitcoin he could’ve bought with that!
@benjaminjantzen1398 yikes
@benjaminjantzen1398 But Toomey's luck he probably would've lost the Crypto key harddrive in a landfill, and spend the next 30 years of his life trying to find it.
So clear and vivid. Thanks a ton. This movie takes me back.
If the passengers' dental bridgework, pacemakers personal items were left behind? Why not their clothes too? That would have been a spooky touch to the scene. I guess it wasn't in the budget. I guess it would have looked messy too.
I noticed the same overlooked discrepancy.
You are awesome. I was looking for this movie, and upscaled. Much welcomed. Thank you.
I adore it, dont care what anyone says.. i love this. Always will. Having a bad dark time in my life and this is helping me get thru hour by hour. I love David Morse. Poor Mr Toomey
29 years later and I’m still obsessed with this movie. I’m 40 now and I love watching it with my son 😂
Did you read the book?
И мне тоже
i bet you wished you wore a condom
I feel the same way and just finished the book. Definitely worth reading if you get a chance!
I haven't read the book but I do plan on it, my wife has certainly read it, she's still in love watching "The Langiliers" just as she did in 1995 ❤ she has also read the book.
My poofy grey cat shreds paper like Mr Toomey
Does it sweat like him too?
Lol
I’ve been trying to find this movie for about 5 years now and OMG!!! 😂🤦🏽♀️
lol I had a similar experience years back took me forever. But I watch this movie at least 5 times a year. It’s a great film cheesy in today’s standard but back then it was a gem and even now it is.
It a great movie I would watch whenever it was on TV.
I’m sorry but the freeze frame at the very end with the guy jumping and doing an over the top “Yeah!!” Had me absolutely fucking DYING 😂😂😂
He knew he was gonna get laid... so I can understand the "yeah" 🤣
Peak early 90's 😂
Toyota
That was my first thought when I read the comment.
Toyotathon!
Just like "Breakfast Club".😊
That entire take-off climactic scene reminded me of the Monty Python sketch with a man running towards you across a field - always a distance away and never getting any nearer.
There's a mistake at 2:48:31 when they look down at LA. You can see a white car driving by the building on the left, when there really shouldn't be anything moving down there. I also read online there was a scene inside the Bangor airport where random people walk in the background somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere.
Bro this whole movie is a mistake lol. The acting is horrible. 3 hours wasted.
i mean the made sure to save money on all sorts of stuff making this thing. arguably worse CGI of anything in the 90's for horror (and that says a lot). toomy getting hit in the head 3 times with a toaster wrapped up in a tablecloth in modern movies, with a budget, could've been soooooo gory/awesome, and not even that expensive. obviously a good version of the langoliers themselves would not be inexpensive to film.
yeah the car approaching the building, if you look real closely there's a second car in front of that, it's really small though but definitely there, but only for a couple of seconds.
Maybe y'all should get a hobby or spend time with loved ones, there's nothing wrong with cheap shlock.
@@qozia1370 Took u a whole 3 hours? You must be the sharpest tack. Thanks Ebert.
I saw this film when it first came out on VHS back in the day , in my opinion it's one of the best t.v. movie adaptations of Stephen Kings novels.
Thanks for the upload, Awesome quality.
It was in one of his books called Four past Midnight. I have all his stuff. In the book there are other stories. The Sun dog, the library policeman, The langoliers and i think secret garden, secret window .. could be wrong on that one. It was the one about the writer who was stalked by a man who claimed it was his book, id have to check my dusty library back in Cornwall, england where all my old stuff still sits in my big old farmhouse, memories jolted me a bit there😢 xx love to all watching and liking a great film… xx
@@flight101I'll look into buying "Four Past Midnight" in the near future and Your 100% correct Secret Window with johnny Depp and John Torturro is the story adaptation that your talking about.
" IT" was my first Stephen King novel that I read, it took me forever to finish it but it was fantastic, terrifying and extremely detailed.
Movie definitely kept u on edge of your seat
I agree so many want to say that the actual Langoliers was a let down to me this was a good movie it kept u on the edge of ur seat. What do I expect from a tv series had everything suspense a good storyline
Definitely, something I noticed about this movie is it's the only movie adaptation of a Stephen King story that I know of that is basically 100% true to the book. All the other ones have changes.
Does anyone else feel a little sorry for Craig Toomey? He really had a horribly abusive upbringing.
Even after his father was dead, he still dominated Craig’s life. It’s really messed up.
That's why he was so adamant to get to Boston and openly admit to his sinister employers he intentionally lost a fortune
It was an elaborate suicide plan
I feel a little sympathy for Toomey from how abusive his upbringing is described as. I appreciate Dinah's "shining" as a neat plot device for us to see how warped Toomey's perspective is.
Really love your banner pic and historical references on your profile, by the way.
Me not so much. You can't blame childhood upbringing on how a person is as an adult. He made choices.
@@bargeld09 a rotten upbringing can color ones entire outlook on life. I’ve known people who were pretty terrible who were extremely abused as kids.
Bronson Pinchot is such a good actor. Everything he's been in, he's incredible. (Mr. Toomy)
Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, hmmm.
Yes...interesting....
The Langolier creatures were actually going to be practical effect rod puppets but instead they went with CGI ones, they’ve aged like fine wine…
This movie had haunted me, I had watched it 25 years ago and I have never forgotten it.
Same
Ive always thought about this movie since I was a child. I never could find it anywhere since. I am glad it is now here for all of us… almost like we are the remaining passengers of this flight.
At last we reconnected with the present 😁 I have seen only the first part when they get into the terminal and heard the sound, now the complete story
same
@@melty05 I convinced you to watch this movie 25 years ago and now I see you again.
I have only watched this for months. No news. No sitcoms. No game shows. No sports. Nothing on any streaming service. When I get to the end, I start it over. It is my life. It is all I know now.
caught in a loop, oh no! :)
Same here, watched the movie 3 times the last month
I've seen this movie at least a dozen times, it's still a masterpiece
the perfect movie to watch on a plane. Just dont fall asleep.
This turned out to be one of my favorites. Glad I found it, thank you for posting.
After seeing this again years later, I realized a couple things that make this so good. First, the creep out you get is very similar to twilight zone in its subtlety, its use of quiet and letting the viewer catch on without gore bombardment. Second, there's not much going on through most of the film but the characters are so great that you are absorbed in them and don't notice or need it.
Love this movie!!! I keep rewatching it over and ovet again Something wrong with me?? Oh well!!
Me too haha
I've watched over and over so many times I know the script😅
Same here... There's something about it that makes it a really comfortable movie to watch. It's like hanging out with in a nice warm setting with an old friend.
I just finished and have already hit replay. My best friend passed in July and this movie is I think going to help me get through missing him. We are both actors and there is much to enjoy, appreciate, and chuckle at in this film. It's entertaining, and comforting - need to think, but not too hard, since grief robs one of some brain cells. RIP Sam. I know it's hard loving an introvert, but I did my best and I know you forgive me, you gregarious fellow, you!
@@aaoization 💕
I like how they all just stand up and announce their name and character. Great job, Stephen King😂😂.
" Hi , I'm Bob Backstory".👏👏👏
haha lol
I’m always so goddamn impressed with Dean Stockwell’s performance in this film as the mystery writer Bob Jenkins. That should have or could have been a truly awful character, given that he has to repeat ENDLESS amounts of stilted exposition, and it falls on him to literally explain the entire movie around halfway through. He’s mostly an insufferable know-it-all, at least on paper.
And yet…. Dean Stockwell as Bob Jenkins is probably the best thing about this miniseries! You can’t help but like him, and you actually *want* to listen to him to talk and explain things. He doesn’t come off as the least bit insufferable, instead I find myself loving every second he’s onscreen. He elevates the entire production. And I can’t stress enough how crazy and illogical all of that is - by all rights his character should drive us all crazy.
Well said!!
So true. He's the main reason I enjoy this movie so and watch it again and again. Excellent clarity and sound quality in this HD version. TY
Yes! Dean Stockwell is brilliant in this! There’s a little bit of that 90s made-for-tv cheese but of course there is!
My favorite King movie. Just finished watching it again yesterday and now i gonna start watching it again :)
One thing for sure .... King never took a science or logic course in his life.
@thecarman3693 if u want science there are other things to watch :)
Nick the British dude is a hero.... He knows his shit
His dad was the Doctor 😊
He is an MI-5 secret Agent.
What part of "Britain" is he from? He sounds Australian to me.
@@Yahyia-cv3sx He has a London/southeast England accent. Not a posh one, a 'regular person' one.
Thank you so much for posting this movie, I watched it as a kid and have never forgotten it. I have searched and searched for it, but to no avail. And for the first time in decades, I have now seen it... Once again thank you very much. 👍👍👍❤
I absolutely love this movie. But I always thought the acting was a little cheesy, really the only good acting was from David Morse(pilot) and Bronson Pinchot (psycho Craig)
Thank you very much for this
That horrible cereal noise...i couldn't help but chuckle 😆
That's straight out of a 8bit video game 😂
I just finished watching The Stand (the good 90's version) and wanted to watch this afterwards ❤ They're both such great miniseries'
the actor playing Toomey, would be perfect starring in a movie about Napoleon Bonaparte
I’m super glad that the langoliers didn’t eat me today.
Me too. I’m over here acting like it’s vacation every day. Not moving very fast. Ha ha.
@@benjaminjantzen1398 nice
If the bandoliers were here, I’d politely ask them to eat my neighbors instead of me and I have a feeling that they would.
@@ORIGINALCRESTEDdo you mean "the Langoliers"?
@ yeah, did you watch this whole documentary called “The Langoliers”
Thank you for putting this up. It was good to rewatch it.
That being said, this is one of my favorite King stories (long or short) and I like the book SOOOO much better than the movie. In the book, you know Toomey's crazy, but you know WHY. Nothing seems as overdone as it is in the movie. The author and his mysteeeeeerious asides. Toomey. Toomey! Dinah. The whole movie is too dramatic.
Back as a kid, this movie was one of my favs. Had no idea what was going on but loved it.
I was 19 when this series came out on may 14th and 15th of 95 i would of turn 20 on may 16th till this day i remember watching this with my grandma though it was great then as i do now.
Omg same here,
I was watching it with you. I was 11
I remember seeing this as a kid, it was creepy. I was born in 1996 June 14.
I would have been 19 also when watching this on tv for the first time. But my bday is in July.
I watched this again a few months ago. I’ve just been reading all the comments - if you want to know whether you might be entertained by this old schlocky bit of wonderful- then go ahead and read the comments.
I love this movie for all its faults and 30 years ago basic special not so special but really great anyway, effects and some over acting at times. I loved the story when I read it . I loved the movie when I watched it all those years ago. It was on VHS and the quality was terrible from a vhs rental store. It’s Stephen King. It’s freaky and a bit scary and character driven and some of the acting is marvellous making up for some overacting here and there. The ending is cool.
Time slipping Mr King style is so uncool that it’s cool. Really freaky tale that twists and turns and is actually ahead of its time. Enjoy 😂 it’s fab!
Some great acting, well done.
Langoliers, Rose Red, and The Shining Mini series are what started my love for horror when I was a kid.
The Langoliers 1995 i watched this when i was a kid, now 42, i still love it.
41 and still love this. This is the most nostalgic, atmospheric movie ever.
You and me both. I love this movie. One of my favorites. Stephen King is a genius.
I think this miniseries could use a bigger budget remake since the CG on the monsters looks so bad. Make them look like the monsters from Attack the Block.
Me too, wait, are we friends now?
I remember always hating the business guy
How could you hate Balki lol? I can still only ever see him in my mind on Perfect Strangers.😆
@@scoleman8829 took me unti now to realize it was him lol. I always had a suspicion but never confirmed.
Was it because he was SCARING THE LITTLE GIRL?
Stabbing the little girl!!???
Great movie, clear upload, its not blurry or fuzzy, thanks a lot👏🏽👏 Stephen King's the best. How about *"The Storm of the Century"* upload.
One of my absolute favourite movies!! And Rose Red! Time to chill and watch!!
From all the movies i've watched this was one of them
David Morse is good in anything he does! Love him
He's a very good character actor. He was in Contact, and did a good job playing the father of Ellie Arroway, Jodie Foster.
He didn't have much of a part in The Long Kiss Goodnight, but sharing in case you haven't seen it.
@@w1975b one of my fave movies!!!
THE LANGOLIERS ARE LAUGHABLE AND THEY DON'T LOOK SCARY ENOUGH ! ! !
Dude. I was scared straight. That clean, somewhat cartoonish look just adds up to intimidation. It is otherworldly. As if they are saying "we dont care about your reality, or its looks".
This and Storm of the Century, always come back to these.
My come back to are Storm Of The Century & The Mist
The Storm of The Century and The Night Flier is my go to.
i used to watch this movie when i was a kid. you are fantastic.
This upscale is fantastic. I hope this makes it to Blu-ray one day.
This was originally a mini tv series so it was likely recorded in standard definition.
AI will save us.
@@iamagi- skynet entered this thread!
one day in the past? 😅
The idea of being flyng at 23.000 feet and ends in the X dimension is goosebumps..genius old,original King(not modern one) and thanks a lot for upload this pre - woke 90's little gem.
A strange weird movie with so and so special effects. But the sharper image quality is a real improvement.
The quality of the whole film is absolutely fantastic!😊
Beautiful. Thank you.
So much clearer and sharper than the rest on youtube - thank you!
Yeah I only just found it
It wasn't showing up in search, only the awful quality ones
Never gets old and I have watched it a gazillion times in closing all I can say is go Steven go.
Good cheese! There's nothing like a Stephen King made for TV movie in the '90s.
This and The Stand are gems.
Next year this movie will be 30 years old....man how time flys......no pun intended.....
Worst thing about this movie is it wasn't long enough. They could remake this in a way that is almost in real time. Make it one season long or something. It has so much potential to explore the characters and, perhaps, the environments/world. The characters have quite a bit of depth.
It already runs over 3 hours! Are you insane?
@@Nichole-Kerr " Make it one season long or something." (Source: Original Comment)
They kind of did in the series Lost, similar not not Stephen king
When this originally aired, it was a four part miniseries. I remember being extremely disappointed when I finally got to see what the Langoliers looked like.
@@hexkwondo Dated special effects and challenging to make aesthetically appropriate.
It would be challenging still, if redone. Ultimately, they are something that consumes something, leaving nothing.
Always pleasure to have Dean Stockwell in the cast.
