I was born in 1981 so i was a few years short..damn!I did watch both movies at the tender/innocent age of 4..this was when Thriller (MJ) came out.. I managed to catch AWIL at a special showing a few years ago and met Mr Landis himself.
Anyways, for those who went back then, how was the experience? Please share..

Good experiences for both films. I saw each of them on opening day in U.S. grindhouses with urban crowds, and they enjoyed them. You could always tell back in the day a quality film because even the worst center city audience recognized one and kept the catcalls and pot smoking down to a minimum.

I was born in 81 also but saw AWIL at a very young age too. My family and I (baby) lived around the corner from Nurse Alex Price's flat. It is my favourite horror movie of all time, and I wish that I did get to see it at the cinema's, but even if I did I would have been too young to remember.
I actually didn't see The Thing until recently and liked it alot, but it is still no match for AWIL.

nope born in 82.
i would like to watch all the good ones i missed on the big screen though
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
I have a projector with 120 inch screen and 7.2 surround sound home entertainment theatre with leather recliner. It's like being at the movies by myself. It's still not quite the same though.

i did attend masters of the universe in 87.
and crocodile dundee 2
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
Man I saw a ridiculous amount of movies at the cinema in the mid to late 80's and early 90's. Crocodile Dundee 2 was actually one of them. I will have to check out MOFTU again though, cos I can only vaguely remember watching it on TV as a kid.

Langella was great as skeletor in that
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
He is quite an underrated actor, that's for sure. I will endeavour to check that out this week some time.
Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :
i think the special effects are still great in it too.

Oh yeah! I turned 14 in 1980 so I saw both of those in the theater at different times. I'm stoked to have been a teenager in the 80's!!!!

I think I said this in another post, but it's one of his favourite roles. Lundgren hated being He-Man.
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
Lundgren should be counting his lucky stars that he even got a role. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy but acting isn't his forte.
Langella likes the playing dark characters, so that comes as no surprise to me Logan 5. I did read that comment in another post also, but was too arrogant to respond to it
