I want to go find Kelly's Heroes. And Pleasantville. Maybe The Great Escape.
Kelly's Heroes and The Great Escape are almost always replayed during the Memorial Day weekend on TCM. If you have access to it.

Better off Dead - John Cusack as Lane Myers. "2 dollars" boy, "Pure snow" what's not to love?

Hamburger: The Movie - Just watched this the other day. It's a classic 80's B movie. Racist, sexist, picking on fat people and Dick Butkis calls an effeminate guy a "f*ggot" so this would never fly today. But I remember watching this all the time on HBO w my parents. Times have changed a lot.

Certainly not "good", but should qualify as "cult classic". I recall seeing this back in the early days of Showtime, but haven't seen it anywhere in many years.

Danny Bonaduce in his finest role....

I saw Martin Sheen's first movie role, The Subject Was Roses (1968) on TCM ~15 years ago. Very subdued movie that is based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The two parents in the film were nominated for Oscars, with Jack Albertson (Grandpa Joe in the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka), winning.

It's the only notable American movie I can think of that I can't find on Amazon available for rent.

Executive Decision

The only movie where Steven Segal dies.

Speaking of Martin Sheen, another good forgotten movie is Dead Zone. One of the better Stephen King adaptations.

The best part of the movie...

It's occasionally shown on TV, but the 1931 version of Dracula is amazing.

Made during the infancy of film making, yet they nailed it. The sets, the lighting and the general atmosphere were stellar.

Bela Lugosi took Dracula from the page to an incredible personification of the character. To this day every interpretation of Dracula comes from his ability as an actor.

Just great stuff.

I always liked Weller and James Woods. They just had that vibe like the cool next door neighbor when you were growing up.

In a dystopian, polluted, hyper-consumerist, overbearing bureaucratic totalitarian future somewhere in the 20th century, Sam Lowry is a low-level government employee who frequently dreams of himself as a winged warrior saving a damsel in distress. One day, shortly before Christmas, a fly becomes jammed in a teleprinter, which misprints a copy of an arrest warrant it was receiving. This leads to the arrest and death during interrogation of cobbler Archibald Buttle instead of renegade heating engineer and suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle.

I always loved Time Bandits. I could watch that flick every single time it came on HBO back when...

Robot Jox

The Navigator ( you can see it on Disney+)

Class of 1999

Cyborg starring Angelina Jolie

House (1985)

C.H.O.M.P.S.
Robot Jox kicks ass

House is entertaining. My kids love it.

Angelina Jolie was in Cyborg 2. 1 is pretty good. It has War Child from Point Break as the baddie.

This early 90s movie was one of the most underrated alien/UFO type of movies that I've ever seen. Ignore the 42% rating on Rotten Tomatoes because it features some really legit terrifying scenes in it with some good performances from its talented cast.

I'm glad that I own it on dvd because I can't recall the last time I've seen it featured on tv.

Saturn 3

Farrah Faucett, Kirk Douglas, Harvey Keitel.

Literally the only 3 people in the movie after the first minute.
