1991, and I was very much settled into my Gaming Group. Apparently I was managing to go to the theater more, as I opened 22 tabs, after skipping at least a dozen less memorable offerings. Hmm, gotta narrow this down. 12? Twelve is doable.

~ Toy Soldiers - Teenage rebellion against a hostage situation. Honestly loved the acting here.
~ Hudson Hawk - What is NOT to love about music-timed heists and Bruce Willis playing off Danny Aiello?
~ Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - Honestly, when I rewatched this, I found it enjoyable but very much not definitive. Still, great cast.

~ The Rocketeer - Fun. Pure Fun. Also, watching the guys realize that was SARAH from Labyrinth amused the hell out of me.
~ Terminator 2: Judgment Day - +grits teeth+ Cameron knows how to make a sequel equal or better than the previous entry. Linda Hamilton is who sold me on this movie though.
~ Point Break - Before Brian and Dom got their hooks into me for Fed and Crook, these two... damn. Love them.

~ Showdown in Little Tokyo - ALL the warnings for this, especially violence against women. However. Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren offer up a great partnership, even as the yakuza and Japanese 'culture' references that frame the movie are... Hollywood to extreme.
~ The Addams Family - AWW YEAH, first limo event! LOL. K was driving for one of the local mafia and had use of the limo when it wasn't hired. Pack of 16-29 year old geeks rolling out to see this icon in a limo. Great times.
~ My Girl - So y'all remember when family friendly movies didn't shy away from handling death? Yeah. Completely unspoilered for this, and P ended up sobbing all over me.

~ Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Limo excursion. Some of us in ST uniform. I was at 90+ hours conscious, which made it an interesting experience.
~ Father of the Bride - As remakes go, this one rocked it. And I still love to watch it AND the sequel.
~ Fried Green Tomatoes - First entry in Mary Louise Parker is queer and breaks my heart. Also, if you have only seen the film, do yourself a favor and read the book too. They complement one another.
