I'm seeing two different release dates for Robot Jox (one is '89, the other '90) but it feels like it belongs.

its confounding that a character is named achilles in a movie that completely fails to resemble the illiad. maybe the writer had grandiose plans at first

gently caress you both. Excalibur rules.

I always pay attention to directors - the name is right on the poster, it ain't hard. And you think Looker or Liar of the White Worm are some sort of highbrow critics' darlings? Eat poo poo.

It would be easy to go out of control w/ 80s teen comedies, especially John Hughes but

Ferris Buellers Day Off should be there
Evil Dead 2
ET

Die Hard
Little Mermaid

There are many others but I think all of these have truly stood the test of time.

1991. It's a pretty 80's movie on the surface, and I'd almost let you have it if it weren't for the fact that it marks official beginning of the modern era of CGI usage and the end of the practical effects that defined the previous decade.

I've mentioned several movies from 1990, because that would still be in the 80s. 1991 was the first year of the 90s.

1980 was the last year of the 70s. This is loving basic. You weren't one of the dumbasses celebrating the millennium on Dec. 31, 1999, were you?
