How can you look beyond Predator with scenes like this?

Owryan

The angst ridden John Cusack in "one crazy summer" and "better off dead"

A bit more money spent on part 2, better acting & Danny Glover is very good.
The problem is, because the original is so iconic, you find yourself comparing both movies throughout.

Real Genius is an underrated gem. I bought it on VHS in Texas back in 2003. Watch it every 12 months or so.

Dude111

Indeed..... I love it!!

I didnt realise they changed that one also!! (But not surprised (The one I have recorded from TV years ago has letterbox @ the end when the guy goes to his house and during the credits,THIS ONE DOES NOT!! (Its FULL SCREEN)))

A much nicer copy.......

I remember watching it for the first time when I was about 11; my dad rented it for me from the local video store.

It. Terrified. Me.

Couldn't sleep for days after that.

Got me hooked on horror movies, thereafter, though.

Back to the Future, Goonies, whatever the video shop had. We also had to rent a video recorder for a while. We got a hand me down top loader one from our richer cousins but that heated up tapes so we had to stop it every once in a while to cool down. We finally ended up buying a top of the line VCR at one point for around 220 pounds! :eek:

Not sure if Heat (Al Pacino and Robert De Niro) is from the 80's or early 90s, but I watched it again last night for the umpteenth time and still enjoyed it.

1996 or so - think it was released in the US for Christmas 1995. Great film, totally engrossing.

I love Real Genius. It has actually been available on DVD for some time now.

One of my favourites from the 80's is "Moving" starring Richard Pryor. He plays the father of a typical middle class American family who due to his promotion has to up sticks and move his family to the other side of the country. Needless to say chaos ensues. Very funny.

Was on TV fairly regularly years ago but I haven't seen it for ages. And incredibly this one isn't on DVD anywhere.

Top Secret

Zucker & Abrahams with a young Val Kilmer.

All sorts of epicness.
