Yes, I am biased. This movie was the defining image in my mind when I was a teenager.

One of the early movies with Val Kilmer is a role complete opposite of what we know of him in The Saint, Top Gun or Heat.

Please know the popcorn house revenge was tried by the mythbusters AT MY REQUEST!! Thank you so much Adam and Jamie!

Back in 1985 I preferred this movie to Back to the Future but it is now quite hard to find in DVD or Blu-Ray. Goodbye VHS!

Too many people forget to mention the closing theme is "Everybody wants to rule the world" from Tears for Fears one of the greatest number 1 hits from the era.

I felt the first half of this movie was amazing. This is exactly what you would want the perfect child caretaker to be. It's probably close to what it would look like.

However, we're still being sold the impossible idea of a robot becoming sentient or close to it, almost a rehash of Artificial Intelligence 22 years later. I'm sorry but SIRI is not about to do this anytime soon.

If we assume the impossible then this is probably what would happen to a robot if it were to develop emotions and experience very traumatic events. They can't cry so they lash out. At first towards the source of the abuse and then towards everyone.

This gem is massively underrated. Liam Neeson as Mark Felt, the man inside the FBI insider who leaked information to journalists that eventually brought down Nixon, brings an amazing performance in a role totally different from the usual action flicks he is reputed for.

This movie is about a battle of wits, not a battle of fists, a gruesome one at that. One that will leave you speechless when you realize how Nixon tried to corrupt everything the FBI was about as soon as Hoover was out of the picture.

Everyone knows how the story ends, so few know how it unfolded. This movie should be a must see for anyone studying politics of the USA.
