ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948)
An extremely stupid movie, but in an enjoyable way. It teams up the famous comedy duo with the most famous Universal monsters, including Bela Lugosi’s last appearance as Dracula.
ROCKY (1976)
A tiny boxing movie about a bunch of weirdos that became a massive cultural smash. I like some parts.
JAWS (1975)
The original summer blockbuster is the best possible movie you could ever make about a shark eating people.
GOJIRA (1954)
With “Godzilla vs. Kong” trying to lure viewers back to theaters, we re-visit the giant lizard monster’s first on-screen appearance.
STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (1991)
Christopher Plummer’s Shakespeare-quoting Klingon general is one of the many highlights of this final “Original” Star Trek movie.
KING KONG (1933)
The original monster movie continues to thrill when it comes to its giant gorilla. The rest of the movie has not aged as well.
STAR WARS (1977)
Somewhere beneath everything that’s been piled on top of it is one of the greatest movies ever made.
DIE HARD (1988)
Some people have called this the “perfect action movie,” and it launched the careers of Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. But is it a Christmas movie?
GOLDENEYE (1995)
James Bond plows into the modern era by blowing up the Arecibo Telescope a quarter century early.
