    No, he's an old washed up soldier that kicks ass on the young guys.

      That is a movie that really captured my imitation when I was very young; far more than starwars ever did.

            Yep. Pure science fiction and one of the most original plots ever written. And funny as hell. I'm no big Tim Allen fan, but he was perfect as the jaded, b-grade actor living off his wacko fan base suddenly swept into playing the role for real by a very confused bunch of aliens.

            Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                    I saw this in 1964 as The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Loved it. Got the VHS when it was released as the "Original Invasion Of The Body Snatchers". Hated it. Someone edited the sound track.

                                        Same here. For me it's one of those movies that every time it is on, I have to watch. That, Poltergeist, and Transformers.

                                          In no particular order: Dreamscape Repo Man Buckaroo Banzai Back to the Future Time Rider Capricorn One The Last Starfighter Flight of the Navigator Star Wars Electric Dreams Edit: Aw crap, forgot Blade Runner, it was hidden between Beatles and Bond. I guess it can replace Electric Dreams. Anyway, I only looked through what I have... if I don't have it, I didn't like it. :-D
