It may have changed history for the worse though. There’s a game called Red Alert where Einstein uses a time machine to go back to the 20s and kill Hitler. But it creates an even worse timeline where the Soviets have taken over all of mainland Asia and Europe.

Can't believe no one mentioned Sheena.
I paused that pond scene until it wore a hole in the VCR cassette.

one of the most underrated movies ever. this is on par with groundhog day. the moral dilemma of whether or not to defend the US and take out the japanese planes

Oxford Blues, another one of my guilty pleasure movies.

Didn't know a thing about competitive rowing, still watch this movie when I run across it.

So I watched this for the first time last night, found it for free on something called Tubi.

Fun, really cheesy 80s film. Featured not only musical guests Jim Carroll, but also Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, who had a minute or two of fame via MTV.

But what was an odd coincidence, maybe even prescient, was when James Spader left the warehouse music hall to escape the bad guys. Look what was spray painted as graffiti on the wall right behind him:


Kind of neat that was in this film along with both the future Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) as well as the future Ultron (Spader)...

Kevin Costner, bike racing movie



Christopher Walken invents technology that can record people's memories. Interesting too because Natalie Wood died during production and they had to edit around that.



Terry Gilliam, enough said!



Borderline chick-flick, but I like Peter Riegert and the Bubbie stole the show!



Hands down the best Arthur legend movie!
