Trailer Tracks: Back To The Future (1985) – Robert Zemeckis
Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love this movie, and after all these years there isn’t a thing in this that has changed my love for it.

Trailer Tracks: Firefox (1982) – Clint Eastwood
Eastwood stars and directs this techno-thriller based on the novel by Craig Thomas, and was one of the first movies I was allowed to go and see on my own, when I was growing up. It still remains a great adventure, though some of the effects work in the last half of the film are very iffy by today’s standards. It’s…

Sometimes you just want a guilty pleasure movie, and this one is very much one of those, featuring Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Teri Hatcher, Jack Palance, James Hong and Brion James this is pure 80s cheese, and is perfect for those Monday morning blahs…

Trailer Tracks: Quicksilver (1986) – Thomas Michael Donnelly
It has been forever since I’ve seen this one, and I know it’s in my DVD collection somewhere, so I may have to pull it out and watch it again soon. Kevin Bacon stars as a big shot, who loses everything and then trying to get his life back in order works for a bike…

Fresh off the successes the Rocky series, Sylvester Stallone took on the role of Vietnam vet John Rambo, a wanderer who is pushed too far by a small town sheriff played by Brian Dennehy.

Trailer Tracks: Contact (1997) – Robert Zemeckis
I read this novel by Carl Sagan a long time ago, and was very eager to see the movie when it was released. For me it was well worth the wait, it was a very human story, set against the backdrop of possible contact with an alien species. With a well-rounded cast including Jodie…
