Tremors (1990): An excellent 1950's style monster movie – a small town is under siege from underground giant worm–like creatures with big sharp teeth. Nice mix of suspense and comedy. Bacon & Ward & Gross are great! Spawned sequels.
Cape Fear (1991): De Niro is ultra creepy as the nasty stalking (and worse) Max. One of Scorsese's best. Watch for an actor cameo from the 1962 original. Great theme music, too.
Warriors, The (1979): A mix of odd gangs, cool music and a classic story. Some great action set pieces. The Baseball Furies gang never lose their creepy clown–like cool (even if The Warriors beat them). Great for a double–feature with The Wanderers (watch this second).
Wanderers, The (1979): Great 1960's soundtrack, cool story, interesting characters and some excellent action. A bit like if The Warriors was set in 1963. Gangs include the Baldies, the Wongs, and the psychotic hive–mind Ducky Boys. One of my favourite movies.
I Am Thor (2015): Incredibly funny with some moments of pathos and sadness. Ultimately inspirational in tone. A must–see documentary.
Tokyo Tribe (2014): Bizarre film that is a real visual feast. Elements copied from many films including Clockwork Orange and Caligula. Almost all the dialogue is done as a rap! Some good action scenes and quite a bit of extreme violence. Crazy stuff – I loved it.; DVD $29.95
Damned, The (These Are The Damned) (1963): Oliver Reed (in a suit!) leads a gang of leather–clad toughs. Catchy title song "Black leather"! The film veers into the dark world of secret government experiments on children in an underground base. Still highly topical.
