Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)
PURE EXCITEMENT!!!
Although the newer 2000 version of this movie is pretty good, it doesn't compare to the original. I saw this movie when I was twelve, a time when I was playing with Hot Wheels, Tonka's, and Matchbox, so a forty minute car chase was very exciting to the impressionable child that I was. The movie was set in actual locations that was familiar to me, growing up near Long Beach, CA. This movie held my attention from the opening to the closing credits. It might not have had the best acting, but the plot, the story, and the action won me over. Next to Jaws and Star Wars, this was one of my favorite movies at that time, and still is.
A Fire in the Sky (1978)
Guilty pleasures
As a kid, I saw two movies in the late 70's about celestial bodies heading towards earth, A Fire In the Sky and Meteor. This movie was quite different from Meteor in premise alone. This was not about a collective effort to avert a disaster; it was about how to collectively get the hell out of town. Richard Crenna played Jason Voight, an astronomer who somehow knew that this desert metropolis was doomed the split second after the words were uttered from the Presidents mouth, as he explained to a group of scientist that the comet was probably heading for earth. Although this movie to me was extremely cheesy, over acted and sometime under acted, and you got to see down town Phoenix high-rises crumble one by one, I liked it. I would have to say that it is one of my GUILTY PLEASURES
Feeders (1996)
What the.....
I heard that this movie, Feeders, was so bad that it had to be seen to be believed. I saw and now I believe. From the early Commodore Amiga computer graphics, to the stupid goofy looking alien creatures, this movie takes the grand prize in the crappy film category. No, I didn't forget about the cheesy acting, nor the fact that the background music blared loudly and drowned out much of the dialog. To sum it up, this movie really sucked.
