This one was a joy to discover when I was young, it had sci-fi, it had aliens, monsters, a war and distant planets, but then it was also something more. It became about friendship, letting go of prejudices, survival, and what it is to be human… Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. really impressed me…

Trailer Tracks: The Muppet Movie (1979) – James Frawley
I love the Muppets, anyone who has spent any time with me knows that. There’s not only a nostalgia associated with them, but an innocence, hope and joy that a lot of us tend to lose when we reach adulthood, that people like Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, David Goelz and Richard Hunt were…

As much as I love The Lost Boys, this one may be my favorite vampire movie ever, it didn’t need the remake it spawned, which wasn’t bad, but doesn’t quite compare to this one… Starring Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, Stephen Geoffreys and the awesome Roddy McDowall!

Traielr Tracks: The Omen (1976) – Richard Donner
Not to be confused with the pointless remake, this classic horror film, played for the most part, straightforward, and almost as a drama, until the terrifying incidents begin to occur, and parents Gregory Peck and Lee Remick start to think there is something much more sinister about their young child, Damien (Harvey Stephens). The film…
Trailer Tracks: Krull (1983) – Peter Yates
This movie has terrible acting, some cheesey special effects, but a mostly cool idea, and I totally crushed on Lysette Anthony in this film! It has a score by James Horner, and features some very recognizable names and faces… Ken Marshall, Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis, Alun Armstrong, Robbie Coltrane and Liam Neeson!

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. A fun time-travel story, a brillilant cast, including one of my heroes, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover and Thomas F. Wilson. The…
