The special effects of the day were not even close to those available in the industry currently, and yet they pulled it off.

No sweat: like Christopher suggested in a thread sometime ago, perhaps if we pinned your eyes open and strapped you in front of a Robocop video, much like Alex in a Clockwork Orange, you'd get to enjoy it in its entirety.

I would have to watch it again, however it never seems to be on TV anywhere.<br /><br />2. The original Star Wars was pretty good. I was still a Star Trek guy back then, and thought it pimped quite a few ideas from Gene Roddenberry. <br /><br />3. Did not see the Fifth Element. I must live under a rock.<br /><br />You also agree with my ratings in the Top 10 for the remainder, with the exception of Planet of the Apes. I wrestled with this movie, whether to include it or not, because I really, really enjoyed it as a kid. But, as they say, you gotta draw the line somewhere. Let's put Planet as #11.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-52396403278455413812010-07-13T18:37:10.701-07:002010-07-13T18:37:10.701-07:00I've never actually seen Robocop all the way t...I've never actually seen Robocop all the way through. <br /><br />Clockwork- fantastic movie from many angles.<br /><br />Space Odyssey- Something about the sterile environment of space vehicles turns me away. Must be something from my childhood.<br /><br />Alien- One scary ass badguy. The only one I didn't like was the one at the English accent prison, hated that one actually.<br /><br />Wrath of Kahn- Fantastic.<br />Contact. Yawn.<br /><br />Terminator 1,2,3 Fantastic.<br /><br />Star Wars- I liked the first one. Epic special effects and a good message.<br /><br />Predator- Good movie...<br /><br />Jurrasic Park- Agree. The only negative was the people being saved at the end by the dino's attacking each other to let them get a way. It's a very old tired solution. Great movie though.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-49398278201357731612010-07-13T15:17:58.468-07:002010-07-13T15:17:58.468-07:00Fredd:
