"I feel the need. The need... for speed!"

"This is what in call a target rich environment"

"Son, your ego is writing cheques your body can't cash"

1980s action classic (that I was all of 7 when it was released) starring a then up and coming (and young!) Tom Cruise as Maverick, the hotshot pilot who gets a shot at Top Gun: the military training school for the top 1% of naval pilots.

This has a great cast (Michael Ironside, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Tom Cruise himself) alongside some great aerial battles, but does drag in bits.

Third entry in the 'new' X-men series (that started with the 60s set First Class, then had the cross-generational Days of Future Pay bringing both sets of X-men into the one film), so probably about sixth overall (or seventh if you included the spin offs), this is set in an alternate 1980s and is actually surprisingly unengaging.


Unlike the time travel shenanigans of the previous film (and the Sentinels), Wolverine only makes a cameo in this while the 'big bad' is actually the worlds first mutant who - in the prologue - gets buried in ancient Egypt.

Unlike the Marvel universe films, however, Quicksilver survives in this!

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights, it's time to raise the curtain on The Muppet Movie's 40th Anniversary tonight!
If you were born between the 1970s and 1990s, it’s almost impossible to imagine a world without “The Muppets”. From “Sesame Street” to “The Muppet Show”, they formed one of the cornerstones of childhood pop culture and while they have endured, they’ve yet to recapture the dizzying heights of their late 1970s/ 1980s dominance. That’s thanks in large part to the irresistible amiability and boundless charm of this, their first full-length movie, released in the UK 40 years ago today...

Sheriff Chuck vs. the indistructable
Before Chuck Norris was everyone's favorite meme, he actually made cool action movies in the 1980s.

This time he is pitted against a seemingly unstoppable superhuman psycho mute who killed his family and is experimented on at the local hospital. He escapes capture and it's up to Chuck to save us all.

The film is like 50/50 horror/action. His enemy is part Terminator and part Michael Myers. There is a decent amount of action and 80s gratuitous nudity to boot.

Probably not for everyone, but I likes me some 80s cheesy action.
