I can’t get a single person in my life to sit down and watch this with me.
But I love it.
You have no idea how many times I was standing in the arcade playing Star Wars (the one with the steering wheel control where you flew the X-wing) and wished this movie were real. Great call.

Ha! Awesome.
Similarly, my younger brother stretched a coathanger to our bedroom window so the Navy might pick up how good he was at “Top Gun” on Nintendo. This had to have been a few years after Last Starfighter came out but it was in heavy rental rotation in our house as kids.

“Bright Lights, Big City” For some reason, I really, really liked that movie. It’s not one that I normally would have on the surface.[/quote]
His speech when he’s in his apartment lamenting about his girlfriend and says “Dust is __% skin, that’s why I miss her because her skin is still here…”
I think about that every time I clean my house.
Another good MJF flick that doesn’t get a ton of love: Doc Hollywood. Julie Warner all naked at the beginning and whatnot? Can’t beat it.
As an aside, there are a lot of people that think Disney Pixars’ “Cars” borrowed from the Doc Hollywood premise pretty heavily. I tend to agree, especially since that’s really all my son watches right now. Haha
There’s a new Godzilla that’s coming out in 2014. Hopefully they don’t make it quite as bad as the 1998 one where Godzilla was ‘hiding’ in Manhattan and the entire army couldn’t find it. [/quote]
I liked that movie too…the worst thing about it was Hank Azaria as the cameraman and those women he was with. They were the worst psrt of the movie.
Wait wait wait there are people that hate Willow? That movie is so awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed Tron:Legacy, which seemed to get a ton of flak on the interwebs(especially the ever present backhanded compliment ‘well, visually it was great but…’).
If you love Willow, check out a BBC series called “Life’s Too Short”, by Ricky Gervais. It’s a comedy/mockumentary that follows the actor Warwick Davis around in his everyday life. Hilarious!
This one’s a surprise to me. I thought everyone loved it? I mean sure kids these days likely would laugh at it, but anyone over 25 should like it. [/quote]
It’s one of those movies that should be better remembered than it is. Flight of the Navigator was a similar movie that should have a lasting reputation, but doesn’t.
