They Live (1988)

Just caught this for the first time, somehow it had always slipped through the cracks for me.

Super fun movie, can't believe I missed it for so long. Wouldn't say it's one of Carpenter's best, but still a really good time.

Beetlejuice

Watching this again I couldn't help but wonder why some of the characters (especially our two mains) made so many stupid decisions... But between story and kick ass visual effects, it's a classic Burton film that I loved as a kid and still do today. Not to mention 80s Alec Baldwin. ::love::

Also this man was my favorite Batman.

He really was the best one.

He is. ::love::

Adam West for me. But in film... the most surprising casting decision of the the 80's... Keaton did a fine job. Actually, I thought Ben Afflack does a good Batman, just not much script to work with.

Ikr? I remember thinking "Michael Keaton, ????" I pictured someone a little more menacing. I can't remember who but certainly not him...

I do wonder what the hell they were thinking... could a Hollywood casting director have actually suggested Micheal Keaton? Or did Keaton skip casting and call Burton and say, 'let me show you what I got'? Everyone was like, "Keaton?" But after seeing the film, the Batman fans I knew were like, ya, he was actually good.

Ya, who would have been a good Batman in the 80's?

Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Matt Dillon, Steven Seagal, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Richard Gere, Michael Douglas, Jeff Bridges?
