Good Movies

• Blade Runner 1982 – still a good movie but interpreted differently by today’s standards. The sequel sucks.
• Dune 1984 – the original version, I didn’t like the remake.
• Subway 1985 – a weird French film that’s strangely captivating.
• Alien Nation 1988 – former slaves from outer space seek refuge in the US.
• DOA 1988 – a man who is murdered by a slow poison tries to catch his murderer. It’s a remake of a 1950 movie and there is another remake from 2022. I don’t know how the 3 movies compare but the 1988 movie is great!
