Movies you "should have seen"

[Geekyfanboy]

Was tron any good? I remember it was popular about the time video arcades where new.

Tron was and still is one very cool movie.. the effects really hold up. I loved it when I was a kid.. and the arcade game as well.. there were several arcade cames base on Tron.

I thought Tron was a really awesome movie as well. really liked the all the effects, the light cycles, the Tanks, the Solar Sailer, those really cool looking things that flew around chasing them

[Blackride]

Tron rocked and it still does! The effects are "different" which allows it to be watchable even today. Now go watch Flash Gordon ( Flash! ) and let me know how the effect were from that disaster! lol

My parents took me to the Drive-In theater for a double feature of The Black Hole and Tron. I need to see them again because I've forgotten them both. I was too little to understand what the heck was going on.

For a good sci-fi/horror flick, Event Horizon is one a lot of people haven't seen.

Tron just rocks...nuff said.  I was very disappointed with Black Hole...enough that I have banned it from being viewed by my eyeballs since.

Should I refrain from watching The Black Hole again as an adult?

Black Hole holds a special place in my sci fi experience.  I thought that it was campy, but had some neat ideas.  It was a Disney flick for sure.  Anyway, I remember being scared as a kid by the bad guy, he was a Captian Nemo type.. but had a big bad Robot that helped him out.  Crazy!

In my opinion it's worth one more watch.

:laugh:

I mostly banned it because I bought into all the hype and thought is was going to be like Star Wars. It wasn't..lol   But, as Rick said the Robots were pretty cool. I still carry the emotional scars of my disappointment. The pain runs deep.. lol

I know this is going to be bad.. but I've never seen Star Trek 5, I've seen bits and pieces but never the entire thing. Also I wouldn't mind watching Star Trek the Motion Pictures. I only saw it once at a drive in with Tron and I fell asleep half way through it. Those would be two films I would like to see.

WOW!!!!!

I don't know if you really qualify for that screen name, Kenny.  Maybe it should be "ModernStarTrekFanatic5"? 

:)  Just kidding.  But I am surprised.

TMP and TFF are both underrated, in my opinion.  Though both are flawed, especially TFF, there are some great character moments in there which make them worthwhile.

If you get around to seeing TMP, make sure it's the recent Directors Edition.

If you like offbeat comedies like "A Christmas Vacation" then do yourself a favor and see it

Raising Arizona is a lovable "trailer parks and convicts" comedy with a wonderful cast.
Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, John Goodman and Randal 'Tex' Cobb.

and if your ready for more -

Check out "Repo Man" starring:
