They Live (1988)

Just caught this for the first time, somehow it had always slipped through the cracks for me.

Super fun movie, can't believe I missed it for so long. Wouldn't say it's one of Carpenter's best, but still a really good time.

Beetlejuice

Watching this again I couldn't help but wonder why some of the characters (especially our two mains) made so many stupid decisions... But between story and kick ass visual effects, it's a classic Burton film that I loved as a kid and still do today. Not to mention 80s Alec Baldwin.

Also this man was my favorite Batman.

He really was the best one.

Adam West for me. But in film... the most surprising casting decision of the the 80's... Keaton did a fine job. Actually, I thought Ben Afflack does a good Batman, just not much script to work with.

Ikr? I remember thinking "Michael Keaton, ????" I pictured someone a little more menacing. I can't remember who but certainly not him...

I do wonder what the hell they were thinking... could a Hollywood casting director have actually suggested Micheal Keaton? Or did Keaton skip casting and call Burton and say, 'let me show you what I got'? Everyone was like, "Keaton?" But after seeing the film, the Batman fans I knew were like, ya, he was actually good.

Ya, who would have been a good Batman in the 80's?

Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Matt Dillon, Steven Seagal, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Richard Gere, Michael Douglas, Jeff Bridges?
