    Having seen all of these back in the eighties, I ain’t mad at that list.

    Even critters is worth at least one watch.

    But, Buckaroo Banzai is a fucking classic. If anyone running across this comment hasn’t seen the movie, you have to. There was nothing like it at the time, and there still hasn’t been since. You might not like it, but you will never forget it.

      Agreed. Watched it to find out what’s great about it. It wasn’t for me. 😆

        It isn’t for everyone, that’s for sure lol.

        I remember watching it on VHS with my parents back when it was freshly released. My dad had already stopped watching halfway through, and my mom was just confused as to why I was laughing my ass off and insisting we watch it again.

    The photo of James Farentino made me think The Final Countdown would be on the list. It’s not, but I recommend it.
