1.Stephen King's The Stand (Boxed Set) starring: Ruby Dee, Gary Sinise, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Ossie Davis April 18, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.95
The Stand is impressive in many ways possible! I know the movie is 6 hours in length put it pulled me in after the first episode. It had a great apocalyptic opening where it can possibly happen in real life with the virus and all. The second half jumps into this supernatural realm where people dare not go and I find that fascinating. I got this movie from a 5 movie collection by Artisan (also had Cujo, Golden Years, The Langoliers, and Thinner) and I received the 2-disc version which is good but its probably better than the flipper disc. I despise flipper discs because they get scratched and broken so easily that its not funny. Lucky me I guess. This would be a great DVD title to come out on Blu-Ray. Imagine the entire 6-hour film on one disc with no flipping or changing. The Golden Years was ... Read More

2.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: $0.13
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?

3.Andromeda Strain starring: James Olson, Arthur Hill, David Wayne, Kate Reid, Paula Kelly directed by: Robert Wise August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
THIS IS A GREAT ADAPTATION OF THE MICHAEL CRIGHTON CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL...THE MOVIE IS CERTAINLY DATED BECAUSE OF THE OLD TIMEY SPECIAL EFFECTS, BUT IT FAITHFULLY FOLLOWS THE BOOK...I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE MINI-SERIES AND WANTED TO VIEW BOTH TO COMPARE HOW THEY HAVE HELD UP TO CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY...SO...IF YOU'RE A FAN OF SCIENCE-FICTION GET BOTH AND COMPARE/CONTRAST THE OLD WITH THE NEW...I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE WHO BUYS THIS MOVIE READ THE BOOK AND SEE FOR YOURSELF

4.Satan Bug starring: George Maharis, Richard Basehart, Anne Francis, Dana Andrews, John Larkin directed by: John Sturges September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.91
The Satan Bug is an uncharacteristic Alistair Maclean movie in that ,unlike his biggest box office pictures, it is not a straightforward slice of heroics but a more nuanced espionage slanted movie with some moral ambivalence to it .It seems Maclean reciognised this too for he authored the book pseudonymously -as Ian Stuart. The Satan Bug is a deadly virus developed by the US government in a secret research facility in the desert.Flasks housing samples of the virus are stolen and threats issued to unleash the plague on the US .Lee Barrett a government investigator (George Maharis)is called in to lead the investigation .He is aided by Ann(Anne Francis)the daughter of the presiding general in the case (Dana Andrews).Among the suspects is Doctor Hoffman (Richard Basehart)the scientist who ...

5.Earth Vs Flying Saucers starring: Hugh Marlowe, Joan Taylor, Donald Curtis, Morris Ankrum, John Zaremba directed by: Fred F. Sears June 04, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.98
Out of all the flying saucer / aliens from Mars classic movies there are, this is not too bad. (I rate "The Day the Earth Stood Still" as #1) The storyline is pretty decent and believable, and the special effects aren't too bad for the time. Nothing compared to todays standards of course, but overall, not bad. Definitely worth adding to your collection of 50's martian / monster movies. Also the actors really did a decent job. The ending is also pretty good. I give it a B+.

6.The Running Man starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, Jesse Ventura directed by: Paul Michael Glaser August 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
Picture this. Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger) is on chopper patrol when an order comes through to fire into an area where inoccent citizens stand. The order of course is obsured, and Richards declines, aborting the mission when his superior passes on orders to Richards' co-pilots to take control of the craft and resume the mission. In a struggle to do what is right, Richards attempts to to keep his co-pilots away from the controls, but fails in doing so as he is simply outmaned. About a year or two later, enter the game show "The Running Man." On the screen in front of a large live audience, we see the events that night of Richards aboard the chopper. The order comes through to not fire, as there are simply too many innocents in the area. Richards defies orders and proceeds to shoot down a number ... Read More

7.Fifth Element starring: Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Chris Tucker directed by: Luc Besson April 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Arrived quickly and appears in good shape. It is a Christmas gift and I haven't played it.

8.Invisible Man Returns starring: Cedric Hardwicke, Vincent Price, Nan Grey, John Sutton, Cecil Kellaway directed by: Joe May September 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.48
I am a big fan of Universal's Invisible Man films and they are too often overlooked. The production values and acting are far superior to the later Frankenstein and Mummy features of the 40's. While those films are a lot of fun the Invisible Man series is pretty smart and the FX were way ahead of their time. This is the first sequel to Invisible Man and I think in many ways on par with the original. At the very least it's very entertaining. This is available on DVD as part of the Invisible Man Legacy Collection along with 4 other films about invisiblity. The transfers are very good and there are some interesting extras included on the set. This is not to be passed up. I rate it 4 3/4 Stars.

9.Voyage to Bottom of Sea starring: Walter Pidgeon, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden, Peter Lorre, Robert Sterling directed by: Irwin Allen February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
As always, The Pilot VTTBOTS is in some ways superior to the series. A pretty suspensful film, well written, good color special FX...the 'Global Warming' Addition to the DVD is great, and also includes some excellent history of Science Fiction. Get this edition if you buy the film.

10.The X-Files (Movie) starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, John Neville, William B. Davis, Martin Landau directed by: Rob Bowman October 13, 1998
