Your Austrian Death Machine/Kindergarted Cop video(in the music forum) reminded me of something.
It reminded me of the movie Three O'clock High. Actor Richard Tyson is in both movies. MAN am I high...


Three O'clock High....also a good 80's movie.bongsmilie

A nod to Lucas at the top of his form.

This one is so much superior to the remake that it's all just so sad.



And here is my nominee for one of the true greats of the 80s. If you own it, watch the commentary. cn

Many great movies already mentioned... let's not forget the movie that spawned the 80's "brat pack"... St Elmo's Fire!
I laughed, I cried, I rejoiced... St Elmo's Fire!
