  1. Got 19. I love the 80s. Predator must be one of my all time favorites. I can almost quote the entire movie from memory. How pathetic is that??

    Oh God, Flash Gordon. I actually watched it in the theater. So bad it's good.

    1. 19 is pretty good!

      Predator is much better than you'd expect for an Arnie film of that era. John McTiernan was definitely on a roll in the late 80s.

      Flash Gordon is a lot of fun if you're in the right mood.

    2. I missed one. Only because I picked the wrong Timothy Dalton Bond film.

Alien (1979)

In its genre,  Alien  has rarely, if ever, been bettered. It's a very simple story of a terrifying monster let loose in a confined space, killing off the crew of a space ship one by one. Its greatness lies in its superb handling and in its extraordinary art direction. The film begins with the mining ship Nostromo  returning to Earth with a cargo of 20,000,000 tons of mineral ore. The ship is still a long way from home when its computer picks up a distress signal from a nearby planet. The ship's crew are automatically awakened from suspended animation and directed to the planet to investigate. The ship has a crew of seven. There is the businesslike captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt), curious and incautious Kane (John Hurt), nervy Lambert (Veronica Cartwright), suspicious science officer Ash (Ian Holm), tough but brittle Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and two grumbling mechanics from below decks, Parker (Yaphet Kotto) and Brett (Harry Dean Stanton). Dallas, Kane and Lambert investiga

12 Essential Hammer Horror Films

Hammer was the little film company that blazed a trail through horror movie history. While Hammer produced a wide variety of films, including comedies, crime films, sci-fi and even caveman fantasy epics like  One Million Years B.C. , it was as a maker of horror films that it became most famous. So much so that it almost became synonymous with the horror genre, with the “Hammer horror” label becoming a brand name in its own right. Christopher Lee as Dracula, with rubber bat co-star
