The Fly David Cronenberg

While testing his teleportation device, scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) accidentally merges his cells with those of a housefly. As his reporter girlfriend (Geena Davis) bears witness, Seth slowly -- and quite disgustingly -- morphs into an insect. David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the Vincent Price original achieves an unlikely concoction of horror, romance and pathos, thanks largely to Goldblum's strangely touching performance.

Jeff Goldblum is a goddamn legend, david cronenberg has a weird flesh problem. A pretty great 80s horror movie with twitchy ass goldblum, what more can you want

8/10

Harry and the Hendersons

Returning home from vacation, the Hendersons -- George (John Lithgow), Nancy (Melinda Dillon), daughter Sarah (Margaret Langrick) and son Ernie (Joshua Rudoy) -- accidentally run over a strange Bigfoot-type animal (Kevin Peter Hall). They decide to take the friendly "Harry" home and adopt him as a pet. But soon, they're scrambling to hide their new friend from authorities and Bigfoot hunters. This charming family film won a Best Makeup Oscar.

way to long and not as awesome as you remember. pretty vegan if you are into that stuff

5/10

Tokyo Zombies
While training to fulfill their dreams of being jujitsu champions, Fujio (Tadanobu Asano) and Mitsuo (Shô Aikawa) work in a fire extinguisher factory. But when a mob of zombies suddenly invade Tokyo, they'll have to employ their limited fighting skills to battle the undead. They soon join with other zombie fighters to try to reclaim the city. Directed by Sakichi Sato, this Japanese zombie-movie satire is based on the manga by Yusaku Hanakuma.

pretty awesome and goofy zombie movie in the vein of Shaun of the Dead but goofier. Afro ninja guy vs. zombies.

7/10

Annie Hall
Listen closely and you can actually hear the stress hormones pumping through the bodies of the characters in Annie Hall. Woody Allen's real, funny ode to love among twitchy city dwellers scooped up Oscars for Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Actress (Diane Keaton) and Best Screenplay. And don't miss cameos of not-yet-stars Jeff Goldblum, Shelley Duvall and Sigourney Weaver.

Pretty lacking in my woody allen, i id not really know what to expect here. Lots of really witty and awkward but amazingly hilarious videos. After watching this i can see where lots of modern movies borrowed from his style with heavy cuts and amazing writing but no one has ever come close to capturing it.

10/10
