Tim has introduced me to so many films this past year, I had to make another list! Some of these I was more reluctant to give a shot, but eventually gave a shot...
Chopping Mall (1986): A film where the poster completely misrepresents the film, this is actually about killer robots and man's reckless fascination with automation. This turned out to be an extremely fun (and very 80s) representation of the "future" of technology with an amazing ending battle sequence and explosion!
Clue (1985): Every time Tim suggested watching this movie, I wasn't really interested. The thought of a movie based on a board game really turned me off, but Tim was SO dead set on showing me this film he actually tricked me into watching it by playing this saying we were going to watch something else! RUDE!... However, I have to admit that this board game move has become one that I quote almost daily. “Flames...flames...on the side of my face!”
Miami Connection (1987): As far as I am concerned this a film is a testament to non-filmmakers and what they can achieve outside the Hollywood system. Y.K. Kim made a terribly fun film portraying the power of synth rock, friendship and martial arts, and it honestly such a fun film that it’s shocking to me it was lost in a garage for two decades. Thanks to the Drafthouse for unearthing it and showing the world how wonderful motorcycle-riding cocaine-peddling ninja can be. So bad, and yet so so good.
Tremors (1990): Another film Tim wanted me to see that I was resisting. All I knew was that I didn’t like Footloose or big worms but somehow this film took those things and made them into a really fun movie! [EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the very first time Izzi has admitted that she liked this film! But we knew she loved it when we watched it because when Kevin Bacon's character kissed the woman he'd been flirting with the whole movie, she let out an involuntary "awwww".]
