    Fire and Ice
    The wafer-thin story and cookie-cutter characters are laughably standard. Then again, there is a part of me that enjoys the fact that the filmmakers didn't try to make this meaningful, they just want the audience to sit back and stare at this world (and Teegra's curves) in all of its Frazetta-inspired glory.

    Curse of the Pink Panther
    Maybe if it looked like Edwards cared about the movie it might have been something more. Even so, without Clouseau, what The Curse of the Pink Panther brings us is staged prop humor, and a number of indignities courtesy of the make-up and wardrobe departments.

    Trail of the Pink Panther
    As a whole the film was funny, but the lack of a living lead, led Trail to being more about the editing than the story.

    The Dark Crystal
    Design and artistry here is the primary draw of The Dark Crystal, not necessarily the writing or the performances or the direction (Henson and Frank Oz shared the directing responsibilities for this one), although the are no glaring missteps in any of those areas.
  5. The Verdict
    What was boring and dull to our 12-year-old selves back when Dad was watching this film 25 years ago is now a thoroughly engrossing and satisfying film experience, and a reminder that what is old can be new again -- whether it's Newman's Galvin's outlook on life, an old courtroom drama premise, or a movie revisited after a quarter century lapse.

    Airplane II: The Sequel
    I really like the sequel. No, I'll go one step further – I love the sequel. It's missing some major players, both in front and behind the camera. But really, Airplane II has some seriously funny gags.

    The Slumber Party Massacre
    It's not high art, that much is certain, but the original Slumber Party Massacre is a fun, gory good ride riddled with scares, flesh and humor.

    First Blood
    First Blood is not the Rambo movie we initially think of when the character is mentioned. No, it’s much better than that.

    Halloween III: Season of the Witch
    The film is creepy, violent and sometimes very clever.

    Hammett
    A movie that takes a while to get going, but once everything starts to come together you end up having a good time. If you're into detective films or are just looking for something atmospheric, then Hammett is a safe bet for a quiet night of mystery and intrigue.

    Class of 1984
    While not as sweeping as The Warriors - lacking that film's epic underpinnings - Class of 1984 is a goofy jolt of low-octane ultra-violence.

    Fast Times at Ridgemont High
    A young Jennifer Jason Leigh is exceptional, and Judge Reinhold provides a solid central character that nearly everyone in the film relates to.
  13. Friday the 13th Part III
    A lesser installment in the series.

    Pink Floyd: The Wall
    The words "overblown" and "pompous" often came to mind. At other times, though, everything comes together-- music, images, and theme-- to really make a stoner go "whooooah."

    The Sword and the Sorcerer
    Hearts are ripped out, heads are smashed, and there's plenty of flesh to be seen. If that's what you crave for a night of retro viewing, this is your flick.

    The Long Good Friday
    The Long Good Friday is arguably the best British gangster film ever made due to its politically-charged story and the performances of Bob Hoskins and Hellen Mirren.

    The Fox and the Hound
    It's pleasant, and while it's a bit sloppy, I rather enjoy the unclean look of the animation.

    The Great Muppet Caper
    In what could be the one of the best opening movie scenes I've ever seen, for example, Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo hover next to the opening credits in a hot air balloon, wondering how soon they will finish.

    Clash of the Titans
    The effects might not hold up, but the performances by the likes of Smith, Olivier and other classically trained British actors, as well as Ursula Andress, elevate this to something more than a throwaway fantasy adventure from the early '80s.

    History of the World: Part I
    History of the World: Part I might not be the best effort from Brooks, but it still remains one of his crowning jewels – a testament to bravado irreverent humor and biting wit.
  21. Friday the 13th Part 2
    No one will mistake this for Quality Cinema, and it's marred by a confusing, murky ending. But there are some good thrills along the way.

    The Funhouse
    Despite all the cinematic thievery and homage, The Funhouse manages to stand on its own as an eerie, slow-brewing slasher that builds quite a bit of effective tension and dread leading into the more generic final act.

    My Bloody Valentine
    Certainly, the performances are cheesy and the scripting decidedly non-Shakespearean, but the film remains a terrifying and entertaining offering to the god's of 70's/80's horror. And those gods were good, indeed.

    Fort Apache the Bronx
    While the movie has some good sequences, as a whole it never seems to come together - the pacing is all off.
    • 90 Metascore

    Raging Bull
    De Niro's performance is one of legend.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Terror Train
    Terror Train doesn't really hold up, but it does offer a fun dose of low-brow slasher mayhem.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Battle Beyond the Stars
    Battle Beyond the Stars might not rank up there with Star Wars, but it certainly tries hard, and it's an admirable experience filled with B-movie awesomeness, and plenty of nostalgia.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Final Countdown
    It's a fun film that presents an interesting scenario and raises a unique possibility. What it lacks in depth and acting skills it more than makes up for as a thoroughly enjoyable popcorn film.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Long Riders
    History fans will probably love the film for its authenticity. Everyone else on the other hand might have a hard time sitting through it. It is extremely interesting if not wholly entertaining.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Humanoids from the Deep
    Sure, it's silly and exploitative, but it's also a hoot to watch, particularly for gorehounds, Corman fans and cult enthusiasts.
