I am pleased that Repo Man came in ahead of E.T..

And Alan Rudolph's Endangered Species is either about aliens or black helicopters.

I guess 80s teen science fiction is a whole other category.

Videodrome is maybe DC's finest theorem about the New Flesh, I think of it every time I shoulder past some zombielike texter on the sidewalk

They Live is silly as hell but its good. Videodrome is definitely one of Cronenberg's high points and must be seen immediately.

also Zapped! gawd that is some funny shit

i watched Outland last night. aside from a few silly plot points, it's pretty good! sean connery as wild west sheriff meets modern drugs/unions/corporations plot, set in space.

You guys - there is this straight-to-VHS film from '87 called Death Row Game Show and it is amazing. Baffled that it never got a cult following, the blackly ironic tone is ridic.
