Movies

Alien - another great series of movies, except for the last 2. If you plan to see these movies, you should watch Alien and Aliens (2), but not Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection.

Back to the Future - one of my personal all time favorite trilogies. Check out another site. There's also the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance Site.

The Breakfast Club - excellent movie. The moral of the story - we're all the same no matter what group yyou belong to.

E.T. - a childhood favorite movie.. However I watch it now and find that it doesn't have as much substance.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Ferris decides to skip school and take off for the big city of Chicago.

Field of Dreams - extremely good movie especially if you like baseball.

Ghostbusters - this is a hilarious movie featuring Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray. Lost of spin off toys and cartoons came about from this movie.

The Goonies - great movie from the 80s. Who could forget Chunk and Sloth?

Indiana Jones - excellent action and adventure series. I liked the 3rd one the best because of its religious overtones.

Poltergiest - I remember having nightmares after watching a bit of this movie.

Red Dawn - this is an excellent Cold War movie. The Russians invade America and a group of high school teenagers fight back. It makes you remember how close to war we got in the 80s.

Stand By Me - Based on a book by Stephen King. One of my all time favorite movies. It examines the issues of growing up.

Star Wars - great series of movies. It had groundbreaking special effects. Unfortunately the re-release of the Star Wars movies (with the new footage) wasn't anything worth paying $6 to see when you had seen it tons of times on TV. This series could be considered a little over hyped by the general public.

Wargames - with Mathew Broderic. One of the first movies that featured computers in a major role. It's fun to watch now because the computers were so ancient.
