1. Krull Liam Neesons' first role i believe

2. Warriors perfect movie for high school dating (at least for me it was)

3. The Mechanic Charles Bronson introduces me to the world of payback (i wasn't old enough to watch Death Wish)

4. Three / Four Musketeers a fun action movie loaded with great actors (who did their own stunts == at least Christopher Lee did as Rochefort)

5. Midnight Run great work between Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. fun movie to enjoy.

yes also to Spinal Tap, Roadhouse, Watership Down, Die Hard and Nightmare before Xmas

Stupid ass movie - but I loved Krull

Stupid ass movie - but I loved Krull

yes. great music, and i loved torquil, ergo, rell and titch (not impressive, but adequate, adequate) and "faithful is my middle name". "how many wives does he have? 7, at the last count" and they did portend the michael jackson pepsi accident in the ending fight scene with The Beast. kind of like a sci fi roadhouse. robbie coltrane was good with his few lines and eyebrow raises. ken marshall just didn't have enough to be the main character. some of the special effects left everything to be desired (fire mares), need i say more ?

"But if it came down to a choice between Krull or Mean Girls, you KNOW which one I'm choosing! ~ Tano

 

[OldSchool]

Krull Liam Neesons' first role i believe

Another absolute scifi/fantasy classic and great!

 

[Mackeyser]

They Live is awesome, especially that fight scene!

That fight scene was supposed to be 20 seconds long. Roddy and the other guy went off and by themselves choreographed the 5+ minute fight and did it so well, they kept it in!

They Live is one of those cult classics like Buckaroo Bonzai and Roadhouse that are just fun.

Flash Gordon

I love that Ted brought that movie back! Was so damn cheesy!!!

Also was the basis for the fight between Timmy and Jimmie in South Park.
