In Search of with Leonard Nimoy "The Bermuda Triangle" , 22 minutes
Director: H.G. Stark
Writer: Alan Landsburg
Stars: Leonard Nimoy, Michael W. Schwartz

IMDB rating 7.8 / 10

Episode four of the series is incredibly eerie and effective, with its stylish underwater photography, scary music, and bizarre subject matter, which details several accounts of vanished ships, men, and of course the now legendary Flight 19 that went missing in 1945, never to be seen or heard from again. Most strange is the inexplicable radio broadcast that greatly disturbed many of its listeners, where a mysterious caller(in a most eerily detached voice) tells the station host how the missing people are not dead, but have simply passed into a timeless void, under the command of some kind of council... Most effective episode not to be forgotten. - IMDB reviewer

Satan's Triangle ( 1975 ), 74 minutes
Stars Stars: Kim Novak, Doug McClure, Alejandro Rey
The female survivor of a shipwreck and two Coast Guard helicopter pilots sent to rescue her find themselves trapped in a mysterious part of the ocean known as Satan's Triangle.

Director: Sutton Roley
Writer: William Read Woodfield
IMDB RatingM 6.6 / 10

A USCG pilot and his winchman Haig (Doug McClure) answer an SOS call at sea and arrive at a derelict schooner called the Requoit. Haig lowers himself to the ship, where he finds three dead bodies along with one survivor, Eva (Kim Novak), cowering in the cabin. As the pilot attempts to retrieve Haig and Eva with a rescue basket, the line breaks, plunging the two into the ocean. After they swim back to the boat, the pilot informs Haig that he must return to base because his fuel is borderline. Eva and Haig spend the night on the boat, during which time she recounts the story of the storm that killed everyone else aboard. One man was hurled through a hatch; one is hanging from the ship's mast; another vanished before her eyes; and a fourth man is in an aft compartment, floating in the air. Eva attributes the deaths to supernatural causes, but Haig has a practical explanation for everything, including the man who appears to be floating in the air. In the morning, the pilot returns along with a USCG cutter. This time Haig and Eva are successfully raised to the helicopter in the rescue basket, while Coast Guard personnel from the cutter investigate the wrecked schooner. The story takes a bizarre turn when the USCG cutter personnel call Haig to tell him that what they found on the ship was not what Haig reported. — IMDB reviewer Thomas Veil
 
Movie watching instructions:
It is best to have two windows open so that you can watch the movie in one window and chat in the other.

This can be accomplished in a MS Windows environment by starting a movie and dragging the browser tab away from the browser until a separate window is created. Then re-size the window so that just the movie is showing. The other option to create a second window is to start the movie and hit the YouTube icon lower right hand corner. This will create a new window on some computers or you can drag the browser tab to create a second window. Re-size the chat and movie windows until these fill the computer screen.

The other option for viewing and chatting is to use two devices ( phone, iPad, tablet, computer, TV) together to create the two windows. The second device must be capable of playing YouTube. For example open the ParaNormalForum ( PNF) with your phone and use this for your chat device. Next open the PNF with a second device such as an iPad and play the movie on this device.

You can also play the movie on your TV if the TV supports YouTube/Vimeo* or you have a streaming device like Apple TV or Roku. In this case you will have to search YouTube/Vimeo for the movie being played. A nice trick is to search for all movies earlier in the evening so that they show up in the YouTube search history. Then come movie time, you can easily pick the next movie.

The movies are listed above in this thread. We like to start each movie on cue from a movie host so that everyone is at the same place in the movie. This makes comments much more timely and meaningful.

Note: If you are new to the PNF Saturday Movies, welcome. It is a lot of fun. Practice the above procedures to see what works best for you. Ask questions if the procedure above isn't working for you. The PNF has lots of friendly members willing to assist. Movie night is meant to be stress free.
