"A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)

I cover the original 1984 classic surprise horror hit which started an entire franchise that I have not gotten around to checking out literally any other installment of due to hearing mostly bad things.

"The Sixth Sense" (1999)

I cover the quintessential thriller that M. Night Shyamalan has spent every movie since trying to re-create the magic of unsuccessfully. Great flick.

"Alien" (1979)

I explore the movie that started the massive sci-fi franchise that evolved in many different ways over the years but I would argue this movie here is the crown jewel of the collection.

"Tombstone" (1993)

I cover my favorite modern western film and arguably the best performance of the late great Val Kilmer's career honestly. With so many quotable lines and epic scenes, disliking this film is downright Un-American.

"Point Break" (1991)

I re-watched the original 1991 classic surfer/undercover fbi agent flick, which was Keanu's first big action movie.

"Blue Ruin" (2014)

I cover the unorthodox revenge tale that defies the odds by refusing to use common Hollywood tropes that are typically seen in this type of movie.

"The Prestige" (2006)

I cover the best of 3 2006 movies about magicians. This one is a roller coaster of time jumps and it was super tough to explain everything.

"SPEED" (1994)

For some reason I've really been hammering it home with these 90s movies lately, it's just so fun to revisit movies I haven't seen in so long. This one is intense, Keanu is excellent in his second big-budget action flick after "Point Break". Well worth going back to.

"FREE WILLY" (1993)

I go back to yet another movie I hadn't seen since closer to 1993 when it premiered. This one tells the tale of a killer whale kept in captivity and the troubled young kid who bonds with the whale and goes to great lengths to save it.

"COOL RUNNINGS" (1993)

I revisit the 1993 "true" story about a team of bobsledders from Jamaica who defied all odds to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, it had been decades since I last saw it.
