A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Not the greatest movie in the world, but it's still done supremely well. Freddy's at his best here, Heather Langenkamp is wonderful eye - and IMO, ear - candy, and it's interesting to watch Johnny Depp in his first role as an actor.

Willow (1988)

A nice little film. While it does feel a little overlong, the chemistry between the actors and the general atmosphere of the film make up for it (plus, I just get a kick out of recognizing all the "little person" actors I've seen in other roles).

Poltergeist (1982)

The character interactions really make this film, and the general aura of menace the primal spiritual Beast provides is an extra bonus. It does take a little while for the story to get really interesting, though. The worst thing I can really say about this movie is that its sequels are abysmally shitty.

Back to the Future (1985)

An enjoyably fun movie, but the time travel rules give me a headache.

Highlander 2: Renegade Version (1995)

This is a great improvement over the theatrical version of the film. Removing the whole "Immortals are aliens" aspect makes the movie a lot more palatable, and the addition/rearranging of certain scenes does make it actually feel like a real Highlander film at times. Some changes that still needed to be made weren't, though, and - by and large - the movie has only been elevated to the level of "mediocre".
