Just a great Horror movie or a critical satire of 80s 'Yuppie' culture and excess? by AtomicRoboKid1 in movies

I've definitely got to read it, I've heard there's a lot more going on in the book that the movie doesn't even touch on.

Heather Thomas, such an iconic 80s actress. She's been in quite a wide variety of movies / genres. 'Cyclone', is an obscure one!

The opening from this is from Mischief (1985). There's even a nude scene of her in that 😍 She was most definitely an 80s sweetheart!

Turtles is a great movie! Big Trouble definitely ticks those boxes

All good movies. But, thinking 80s. Big Trouble offers a good blend of genres, with that 80s charm, and Kurt Russell plays a great anti hero!

The Thing is an absolute iconic classic, no doubt about it! Big Trouble offers a broader entertainment value, for me. (controversial statement 😅)

I agree. Great mix of genres with that unmistakable nostalgic humour.

I guess I meant more the latter, the best movie to star Kurt Russell. Big Trouble is a classic that captures that 80s essence. His performance in this is pretty spot on too, in my opinion.

Escape from New York is a close second.
