1.Howard the Duck starring: Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, Tim Robbins, Ed Gale, Chip Zien directed by: Willard Huyck February 08, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.88
Howard the Duck must be one of the best movies I ever saw while I was growing up. When I found out how horrible the movie did box-office wise, I thought, Okay, what went wrong? The movie takes home 4 razzies including worst picture of 1986 and George Lucas disowns the picture afterwards. Pixar Animation was founded because of this movie. That should account for something (check out IMDB.com for that). As for the DVD, on dvdverdict.com somebody interviewed director Willard Huyck and writer Gloria Katz and they were surprised when the movie wasn't available on DVD yet. Willard said they may have to talk to George Lucas to get the movie available on Region 1. If Universal ever puts it out on DVD I hope that Howard the Duck gets the special edition treatment it deserves in widescreen no doubt. ... Read More

2.Back to the Future starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, Thomas F. Wilson directed by: Robert Zemeckis September 14, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Have you ever wanted to travel through time? To see the future? To witness historic events? Marty McFy(Michael J. Fox) finds hinself facing this when his friend "Doc" Emmett L. Brown(Christopher Lloyd) builds a time machine. Marty is accidentally sent back to 1955 (from 1985) ( he's only 17, so he hasn't been born yet) and disrupts his parents'(Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) first meeting. On top of that, he might be stuck in 1955 because there isn't much plutonium around yet, and that's what makes the car a time machine. The actors do a great job of combining reality and science fiction to make my favorite movie. Do not show to young children who do not know cussing is wrong, as charactars swear freely.

3.Dennis the Menace (Clam) starring: Walter Matthau, Mason Gamble, Joan Plowright, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson directed by: Nick Castle October 26, 1993

Excellent! Fast, easy and reliable. My children enjoyed it immencely.

4.Back to the Future Part III starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenburgen, Thomas F. Wilson, Lea Thompson directed by: Robert Zemeckis September 12, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I enjoyed the first two a lot but the third one seems to be weak. It's nothing close like the first two and the plot didn't seem to make sense to me. The ending was cool but I sure wish they made a BTTF 4 but BTTF 3 seems to be the end of the series. The acting is not bad though but I didn't see any similarities with the first two it was just a newer adventure where they go cowboy but it's still fun to watch if your a BTTF fan.

5.Some Kind of Wonderful starring: Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson, Lea Thompson, Craig Sheffer, John Ashton directed by: Howard Deutch June 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.65
As a 17 year old high school senior, I often wish I would have grown up in the time my parents did, simply for all the awesome movies like Some Kind of Wonderful. For as long as I can remember I've been watching Pretty in Pink and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, as well as any other 80s teen movies I can get my hands on. For some reason, I had never seen Some Kind of Wonderful until recently when I went to Target and was in awe to see an 80s section of dvds. Some Kind of Wonderful is comparable to Pretty In Pink, and is an extremely good movie that teenagers, no matter what decade they were born in, whether it be the 60s or the 90s, can relate to.

6.Back to Future 2 starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilson, Elisabeth Shue directed by: Robert Zemeckis March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.46
IN A NUTSHELL: DOES WHAT A TIME TRAVEL MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO DO! This sequel of the superb "Back To The Future" is a very earnest attempt to follow a winning formula up with a truly worthwhile effort in this sequel. Complex, yes, but interesting. Unfortunately, at times it gets a bit too mechanically contrived with the time sequence derivations, and I find myself mentally checking the continuity which detracts from the theme. Nevertheless, if you liked the first "Back To The Future" you will probably enjoy this movie. All the characters are present from the original and they are playing multiple generations almost simultaneously. After all, isn't that what a time travel ovie is supposed to do?

7.Nightbreaker starring: Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Lea Thompson, Melinda Dillon, Joe Pantoliano directed by: Peter Markle September 25, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.49
The details and attitudes of this film are quite accurate. I have had the pleasure of working with two atom bomb "test subjects", two of over 235,000 soldiers deliberately exposed to radiation of atom bomb testing in the past decade. Their plight is harsh - cancers, breakdown of soft tissue, every case has resemblence to the next. Still, the US government denies wrongdoing and danger to the soldiers of that draft era.

8.Red Dawn starring: Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Darren Dalton directed by: John Milius January 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
You have to admit, it's a great premise. What would America look like and do if war was conducted on our own soil instead of across an ocean? But instead of going the conventional way of showing you anything and everything about it, director John Milius decided to give this depressing scenario a view from a bunch of high school kids. We don't even know the full extent of the attack until the middle of the movie. Interesting concept sure, but what looks good on paper almost never works when fully attempted. First off, with the exception of a young Charlie Sheen, the acting is bad... as in pathetic. Patrick Swayze is a guy you wouldn't expect this from, but he's one of the worst offenders. Then there's the plausibility of the Wolverine story. Sure, it's possible that a band of high schoolers could take ... Read More

9.Wild Life, The starring: Chris Penn, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Eric Stoltz, Jenny Wright, Lea Thompson directed by: Art Linson June 20, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.49
Yes one of my favorite movies of the 80's. Certainly not too rare to be on DVD. Just put everything on DVD! Jeez. This movie should be available on DVD.

10.The Wizard of Loneliness starring: Lea Thompson, Lukas Haas, Dylan Baker, Jeffrey Dreisbach, Anne Pitoniak directed by: Jenny Bowen February 01, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.73
This is a great movie starring Lukas Haas and Lea Thompson about a child during World War 2 who moves into a small Vermont town with his eccentric Grandparents who rebels at first but then likes his newly found situation with trials and tribulations along the way.It's a must see!!
