Firstborn 1984
Starring Peter Weller before he was Robocop. It also starred Christopher Collett from “ The Manhattan Project”, Terri Garr, and a young Corey Haim (I think it was his first film). They used to show it on HBO all the time but I haven’t seen it on tv in about 25 years. Weller really showed his acting chops in this one. |

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

Does anyone remember an old Charles Bronson movie called "From Noon Till Three"? I remember seeing it on TV when I was a teen and it really struck me because it was a western that wasn't really a western and had a couple of odd plot twists. I thought it was a made-for-TV movie, but it looks like maybe it was in theaters. There are a few reviews of it online that are very mixed. I'd be interested in seeing it again to see if 59 year old me would have a different impression of it than 13 year old me.

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. Last edited by Clyde Frog; 04-14-2022 at 12:36 PM.. Reason: spelling |

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.

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.

Fire in the Sky
An Arizona logger mysteriously disappears for five days in an alleged encounter with a flying saucer in 1975. His co-workers endure ridicule and contempt as they are wrongly accused of murder. 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. |
