- DirectorTony ScottStarsChristian SlaterPatricia ArquetteDennis HopperIn Detroit, a pop-culture nerd steals cocaine from his new wife's pimp and tries to sell it in Hollywood, prompting the mobsters who own the drugs to pursue the couple.1) My favorite movie of all time. Quentin Tarantino wrote the script but Tony Scott directed it. Good for a rainy day and I'm sure it would make a great date movie - if I could ever land a date.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstAlfred MolinaPeter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a former brilliant scientist named Otto Octavius.2) Spider-Man is my favorite superhero of all time. Unlike his many contemporaries, he's an Everyman and that's why I can relate to his dilemmas since dawning the spider-suit; Tobey Maguire is pitch-perfect.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.3) The greatest science fiction film, PERIOD. James Cameron is a creative genius and Arnold Schwarzenegger is unstoppable.
- DirectorBob ClarkStarsPeter BillingsleyMelinda DillonDarren McGavinIn the 1940s, a young boy named Ralphie Parker attempts to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa Claus that a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun really is the perfect Christmas gift.4) What better dream than getting what you've always wanted for Christmas? Ralphie Parker sure taught me a thing or two about raising hell to get the ultimate Christmas present.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.5) It seems that every time I watch "Aliens," I'm reminded of the reason why I fell in love with it in the first place: Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, James Cameron, Marines, aliens, and the "Bitch."
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenDan O'HerlihyIn a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.6) Maybe I'm delusional or I'm just cleverly observant, but "RoboCop" reminds me so much of "Dirty Harry" in that they both live to kick ass and take names. "Your move, creep!" - RoboCop, 1987
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonJack NicholsonKim BasingerThe Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.7) The first movie that I ever loved as a kid. Tim Burton's masterstroke of direction, casting choices, and vision.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsAlec BaldwinGeena DavisMichael KeatonThe spirits of a deceased couple are harassed by an unbearable family that has moved into their home, and hire a malicious spirit to drive them out.8) Michael Keaton as the "Ghost with the Most" - need I say more? Keaton is barely recognizable under that ghastly makeup, but he's the reason why I love this movie so much.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.9) Those pesky extraterrestrials just can't leave us alone, can they? The Predator may be one ugly motherfucker, but he'll tear your spine out - literally; I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger was doomed for sure.
- DirectorAlbert HughesAllen HughesStarsTyrin TurnerLarenz TateJune Kyoto LuA young street hustler attempts to escape the rigors and temptations of the ghetto in a quest for a better life.10) The Hughes Brothers' anti-thesis to John Singleton's "Boyz N the Hood." Like a flipped coin, it shows us the L.A. 'hood and then some. Tyrin Turner is brilliant as the doomed, street-wise Caine.
