Robocop

If you see this, try to see the directors cut. I don’t know what all changed, but one scene in the beginning (where the machine goes haywire and kills the executive) was changed. In the original cut, the machine shoots for like a minute solid, until its guns run dry. I guess “somebody” thought that was just too gruesome.

While the movie did have a corny element, it’s aged well. In the end, it’ll make you wonder if life will imitate art one day.

 

The Last Starfighter

How many kids playing video games have wished for this to happen? You’re actually training to fly a real life space-ship? there are really aliens out there? cool! the best thing about this movie was its early use of computer effects for the outer-space scenes. Sure it looks fake, but that was the limit of the computers of the day. After a few minutes, your mind will just accept it as real.
