Some comments on the list
Conan the Barbarian - Never saw all of it.
The Road Warrior - Good post-apocalypse flick that has not aged well.
Rocky III - Never saw it.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan - One of the best ST films
Poltergeist - OK
E.T. - Never saw it, hope I never will.
Blade Runner - One of my fav’s, but prefer the director’s cut.
The Thing - Never saw it.
Secret of NIMH - Never saw it.
Tron - Cool effects, boring storyline. Arcade game even worse.
The Pretentious Crapfest Known as The World According to Garp - Agreed.
An Officer and a Gentleman - Could never get through the entire movie.
Night Shift - Mindless comedy.
Pink Floyd’s The Wall - This might be better if you are stoned (I wasn’t).
Fast Times and Ridgemont High - Phoebe Cates. ‘Nuf said.
Agreed, but I would also add "Sean Penn's greatest role"
“Pink Floyd’s The Wall - This might be better if you are stoned (I wasn’t).”
Heh, you’re probably right about that one. I got dragged to a midnight movie showing of The Wall and was bored to tears. I enjoyed the music, but I didn’t care much one way or the other about the storyline...whatever it was.
good horror movie. Not in the classic, "Hitchcock" suspense-type horror. Not a slash-and-stab-the-naked-teenagers-type horror movie.
Just an all-out, in your face, no-holds-barred, scare the pants off you, gross you out, and make you think entirely too much -type horror movie.
I saw it when I was a teenager and had trouble sleeping for a week. Saw it again awhile ago. Still was a little unsettling.
