Best Films of 1989

Great cast lame script

This one is a little ridiculous and far more bad than good, but some of the scenes are sort of iconic, in the annals of slasher filmdom.

A beloved movie for girls, doesn't work so much for boys.

Average performances from a classic script

My wife introduced me to this, one of her favorites as a kid. It's a pretty hastily put together production, but it still enlisted some laughs and the main characters are likable.

De Niro and Penn teaming up to play ex-cons pretending they're priests seems like a great set-up but the results are mediocre and nothing really plays out that well.

Alan Clarke's final film before he died, about death... lots and lots of death. That's all it is, people shooting others. But I will say it's unique some of the filmmaking techniques are solid.

A kids' adventure film that was on the level of Goonies, as a kid, but one that doesn't nearly hold up as well.

A movie that revels in its terrible nature. This is riddled with bad taste, but you might just end up loving it.

The brothers are played by brothers, which helps a lot; but ultimately neither one is all that likable. Pfeiffer certainly is but the singing sings seem aren't very strong whereas the squabbles are the main focus and well, only fairly interesting... kind of like this review.

They lied.

One of my least favorite Bond films, but shit, it's still Bond.

A dark comedy about high school, suicide, and being popular.

Jim Belushi had a string of 80s/90s B movies and this was his best.

Swayze Does Bad-Ass

Nintendo's greatest commercial

Director: Robert M. Young
His 11th Movie
My 1st movie watched from the director

Willem Dafoe is a fucking force. I can't believe it took me this long to see, what I think, is one of his best roles of his long and impressive career. Though I had known about it, I never knew what it was about and was hit hard with the subject matter, that being the torture of being in a concentration camp during WWII.
Wendy Gazelle and Kelly Wolf also turned in impressive performances, making it surprising they never gained recognition afterward.

About a guy and his team who go through a lot of trouble to get high.

Woody Allen, etal.

I still haven't figured it out.

In this movie you will see inexplicit scenes of sex, several discussions about sex, several lies, one big lie about sex, and a good portion is captured on video, turned into videotape.

An awesome movie as a kid, but it's certainly lost a lot of its charm over the years.

A fascinating multi-story film that didn't possess the best quality, just good storying telling.

After this everyone was partying like a dead guy.

Robert Downey showing off his acting chops at a young age. While the direction and pace is a little off this is still fun, harmless high concept movie.

Who would have thought chauffeuring an old lady around would be entertaining?
