    So, so many. I'd happily watch most of the films listed here and would add some personal favourites mainly from the trashy end since it's off the top of my head.

    After Hours
    Brain Damage
    The Burbs
    Frantic
    Legend of a fighter
    Man with two brains
    My Neighbour Totor
    Predator
    Project A
    Return of the Living Dead
    Scanners
    The Sure Thing
    Trading Places
    The Vanishing
    Videodrome

    And everything John Carpenter.

    a yes to "blue velvet", "the king of comedy", "the shining" and "akira".

    being slightly before my time, i kind of forget that these are eighties films.

    by no means a classic, but a secret favourite of mine (now that i've been reminded of david lynch) is "dune".

    for the francophiles, how about "diva"?

    cant believe i forgot about After Hours! havent thought of that movie in years! sooo good, and as a kid it kindof introduced me to the seemy underbelly of nightlife.


    love Jon Carpenter
