  • Flash Gordon

    Barbarella filmed with the grandiosity of Star Wars.

  • Friday the 13th

    An horror classic, spawned an enormous amount of sequels, but this is the origin story. The twist ending was never brought back, for some reason.

  • Airplane!

    Surely a classic, just don’t call me Shirley. Roger, Clarence, Victor, Oveur.

  • The Fog

    Carpenter’s followup to Halloween. The music is almost the same.

  • American Gigolo

    Paul Schrader copied the classic film noir so well, it includes Hays Code limits. Is this for adults, or is it Bugsy Malone?
