    This was still pretty enjoyable, for what it is. The montage when he puts on his equipment before the final confrontation is still so classic, and overall the action is pretty good. And man, whatever happened to Rae Dawn Chong!

  • The Black Cauldron

    —

    I remember that back then, this was a low for Disney animation — it was a pretty big flop, in a series of animated flops for Disney, before it got its groove back with The Little Mermaid. But I remember liking this movie, although I’m guessing it’s because I liked the dark-ish fantasy setting. Unfortunately, it…

  • Teen Wolf

    —

    The “Michael J. Fox movie of 1985” was of course Back to the Future, but Teen Wolf came out the same year, and you know what, it’s not bad. You’re reminded of why we liked Michael J. Fox so much during that era, as he has the same charm here than in Back to the…

  • St. Elmo’s Fire

    Watching this again made me miss the brat pack so damn much. It sucks that we didn’t get more movies during that era that featured pretty much all of them — there are a lot of movies with a couple of members, but this and Breakfast Club are pretty much the only ones with so many.…

    As far as silly comedies go, this is pretty silly, and I admit that it still made me laugh — although I’m not sure if it’s because it’s actually really funny, or that I just enjoyed seeing it again because of the nostalgia. But either way, I had a fun time watching it, and it…

  • Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

    —

    I thought this movie was goofy fun back then, and it still is. It wasn’t a big hit, if I remember correctly, but for some reason it was something that I liked, and I remember being disappointed that it never turned into a series (I’m sure that was the intent). There are some pretty great lines,…

  • Red Sonja

    —

    Worst movie from 1985 that I’ve watched? Red Sonja is definitely right up there. This is a terrible movie that has not aged well — although to be honest, I don’t think I really liked it that much even back then. The biggest thing for me was that I always found it so weird that Schwarzenegger…

  • Ran

    I was absolutely mesmerized by this movie. I honestly am not sure if I had seen it before — I would have been too young to really appreciate it when it originally came out, and so I’m pretty sure that, although it was something I’m sure I had the intention of watching through the years,…
