> Return Of The Living Dead Part II (1988, Zombie Horror Comedy, 5.7)

My favorite zombie flick, if you've not seen it you need to!

[spunker540 → realce]

Do I need to watch part 1 first?

[atVelocet → spunker540]

Nope. Same applies to the third one.

Awesome funny movie and i think the best part of this „trilogy“.

[georgeecollins → atVelocet]

Yeah I was going to say the III one is surprisingly good. I used to know the director and he was super cool. Also produced re-animator. He also did a weird low budget movie called "society" which is interesting.

[uxp100 → georgeecollins]

There are a few horror and sci fi movies with similar themes to Society that all came out around the same time. Society is probably the wildest. Worth a watch.

[JKCalhoun → akovaski]

One film from 1962, one 1977, the rest 80's-plus.

Too bad we're not seeing 30's classics, etc.

[zoogeny → akovaski]

Out of that list, The Science of Sleep stands out to me. It is a film by Michel Gondry who also directed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It is kind of an indie pretentious movie, but if you are into that kind of thing it is a decent one.

[canucker2016 → akovaski]

"The Year of Living Dangerously" is a surprising one to show up. Reasonably profitable and successful film for the time.

Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver - she usually doesn't get the romantic role.

She became so enamoured with Mel Gibson that the man whom she eventually married resembles Gibson.

Linda Hunt won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (her character is male in the movie), she played the "boss" on NCIS-LA TV show for several years.

wikipedia page says 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.

> Hot To Trot (1988, Comedy Fantasy, 4.5)

haha

>True Stories (1986, Comedy Musical, 7.2)

watch this if you're a fan of Talking Heads or Spalding Gray

AVClub on City Heat:

  "City Heat has the misfortune to peak in its first five minutes. "

[vanderZwan → canucker2016]

That didn't stop Up (the Pixar film) from being a masterpiece, so that's hardly an excuse /j
