Smooth Talk (1985): Girl, you'll be a woman soon.
Connie just wants a boy to hold her and make her feel important. She wants what most fifteen year old girls want: attention. She used to be the baby of the family and now she’s tall and beautiful on the edge of being a woman.
Connie and her friends get into innocent fun at the mall and tthe movies but decide to test the waters at an older hangout. A mysterious guy there tells Connie...

Total Recall (1990): Don't dream it's over.
Nothing says T.G.I.F. like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a turban (!!!) And yes, it goes without saying that he was robbed of the 1990 Oscar for best actor in a leading role. Unbelievable!

Near Dark (1987): We belong to the night...
These days, vampires are a dime a dozen; But my favorite blood sucking human will always be Bill Paxton in Near Dark. Sorry Twi-hards, but I like my vampires dirty in leather, flannels, and Ray Bans rather than pretty and broody. I especially enjoyed the fact that here the whole vampire scenario seems plausible. They are not flying, reading minds, magically disappearing into a cloud of smoke or...

Network (1976): Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
Sidney Lumet’s effective satire on a struggling television network that will stop at nothing to boost their ratings. This includes murder, terrorist reality programing, shady funding deals with Saudi Arabia, trashier reboots of Melrose Place and a Jay Leno variety shitshow. Oh wait, I got my networks mixed up (See: NBC, The CW). With all of the terrible things on television today this film...

Pierrot Le Fou (1965): Fooled around and fell in...
Pierrot Le Fou is yet another great film by Jean-Luc Godard. Jean Paul Belmondo (!!!) plays Ferdinand, an unhappily married man who decides to leave his family for his ex- lover Marianne (Anna Karina), who also happens to be his babysitter. Yeah, it’s complicated. He soon learns that Marianne is being hunted by Algerian gangsters and the two embark on a road trip and a life of crime...

Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986): Bang your head...
Growing up in South Philadelphia to two working parents, my sister and I were often left to our own devices. In between cooking Oodles of Noodles or sauteing Mrs. T’s pierogies we were hanging out at my sometimes babysitter Kathy’s house. The importance of me mentioning this is because Kathy was into metal. Mostly hair metal but metal nonetheless. I envied her as only a pre-teen could....

Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Léon) turns a rebellious outsider into a seasoned hit woman.

CLASSICS: Airplane! (1980)
This film needs no introduction as it is a classic and still one of the funniest films EVER. Though it is based on serious disaster movie Zero Hour! it ups the ante with it’s endless supply of one liners, satire, and slapstick. There are so many hilarious bits: the dance scene at the dive bar, “Jive Talking” with subtitles (Ah, 80s racism), the inflatable auto pilot, and the list...

Klute (1971): She works hard for the money.
Dear Jane Fonda,
I just want you to know that I love you unconditionally. You stole my heart in They Shoot Horses Don’t They? and Barbarella. So let’s forget about that pathetic rainy Sunday where I watched you in Monster In Law on TBS. No one is perfect, and I hate to admit that part of me really enjoyed it. You’re the best so don’t change.
Sincerely,
I Love Hot Dogs
