Poltergeist deserves a mention too.

Yeah. The Thing was one of those remakes in the '80s that improved on the original.

"The Thing" is a movie that came alive thanks to cassette rentals and dvd sales. The ability to rewatch scene by scene is where John Carpenter's attention to detail really pays off. The rise of CGI in movies seems to have made writers and directors lose the fine control over shaping a film. Pratical effects like in The Thing may find a second life as new projects come up next year. I would like to see less use of CGI and more character development.

Yes - I love Poltergeist!

Add, "Conan the Barbarian" to the lineup.

An Officer and a Gentleman is another for the list.

Isn't it amazing how we can look back to a time when entertainment was awesome? When you and I first started online chatting did you ever imagine a future like what we're going through in 2020?

No, I haven't.

Ahhh, well said my friend!

Help yourself to some healthy Halloween treats.

Strawberry tongues. Yum. XD

Ever had the feeling you're being watched?
