Actor Chris Sarandon, as the vampire Jerry Dandrige, rather voraciously chews up the scenery in 1985’s Fright Night.

Based on the novel by the great Philip K. Dick, this Ridley Scott-directed film still stands today as a groundbreaking achievement. Blending noir-ish elements with the futuristic plotline/atmosphere, Scott ushered in an entirely new era in cinema. Über-Antagonist Nexus-6 Replicant Roy Batty {iconically portrayed by Rutger Hauer} provides the extra impetus of genius to propel us to the skies.
“Roy Batty is a very cryptic individual, as a replicant and combat unit. He carries an unnerving aura around him and inspires fear wherever he goes.
It is worth mentioning, that at the end of his life, Roy is shown to have a moment of empathy, saving Deckard from his death before giving a monologue about his memories, and passing away with a smile…”

Directed by the great Stanley Kubrick, this mighty film features memorable performances by Kirk Douglas, Peter Ustinov, Charles Laughton, Tony Curtis, and, of course: Laurence Olivier.
1991’s The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme, still unquestionably stands as a landmark of psychological terror. Jodi Foster, Anthony Hopkins, and Ted Levine all turn in remarkable, iconic performances. This immortal film features some of the most intense, memorable dialogue ever committed to the medium.
Magical moments (that will leave you all agog) featuring Cyd Charisse, Debbie Reynolds, Marlene Dietrich, Ethel Merman, Dolores Gray, and Donald O’Connor.

Robocop 2 {1990}.
This Sci-Fi Adventure film depicts the battle between the mostly mechanical police officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) and archvillain drug lord Cain (memorably portrayed by Tom Noonan). A certain mayor (Willard E. Pugh) may also momentarily almost lose his composure.
This film noir from John Huston features Humphrey Bogart, in a truly iconic, star-making performance, and the great Sydney Greenstreet, in his debut on the big screen. Peter Lorre, Mary Astor, and Elisha Cook, Jr. are also all brilliant, with the latter portraying the “Gunsel” (a term author Dashiell Hammett snuck by the Powers That Be).
This chilling remake of the 1971 film features Crispin Glover at the very height of his mighty powers. R. Lee Ermey also provides a top-notch performance as Willard’s less than sympathetic boss. Certain people get what’s coming to them. In the first vid, Willard (Glover), in total impotent outrage, shakes his metaphorical fist at the gods of futility and unfairness, with William S. Taylor as the messenger of said dreadful gods. A meltdown of über proportions. The subsequent clip involves Willard informing Mr. Martin, in no uncertain terms, who is now in charge.
This extremely undervalued film features a fascinating, rather offbeat and unsettling screenplay by author William Peter Blatty, and top-notch performances by George C. Scott, Nancy Fish, and Scott Wilson. Brad Dourif’s mesmerizing tour de force as the Gemini Killer is iconic and unforgettable.
This quirky, moody, disturbing, occasionally hysterical crime drama boasts a fine ensemble cast, but Crispin Glover steals the show with a stunning, unforgettable performance as druggy ringleader-of-sorts Layne. Iconic, a tour de force. Keanu Reeves is very good as Matt, a relatively sane teenager. Dennis Hopper has a nice turn as dealer/murderer/weirdo Feck.
