Yeah, “Tron” deserves an entry of its own. Another overlooked gem is “The Last Starfighter,” the first film to use CGI for all of what would have been traditional miniature shots. Granted, the effects don’t hold up 39 years on, but they were dazzling at the time.

He peels off some of Fay Wray’s clothing, but it seems less like assault and more like playing with a doll. 

“It would take many more decades before serious A-list directors would embrace the illusion.”

The ironic thing is that I am literally a 58-year-old male, and I watched the heck out of the old CW. Once “Superman & Lois” is gone, I’ll likely never watch it again.

Fuck, you’re an under-30? What were you when the series finale aired, 14? It must’ve sucked barely comprehending TV narratives back then. But hey, at least there was a hot Cylon to jack off to.

Wow, that was unnecessary.

Also, the religion angle was text from the get-go. It was explicitly stated that the Cylons were attempting to wipe out the humans due to the latter’s polytheistic beliefs. The Cylons believed in a single God...and hey, they were correct.

Religion was central to both the reimagined series and…

That’s not what happened, but you do you.

The problem with HIMYM wasn’t the finale, it’s that the show—which was perpetually on the bubble the first couple of years—suddenly became a huge hit, and subsequently went on for at least four years too many. 

“I am an angel of God, sent here to protect you.” That’s season 2, episode 7. You might not like it, but you can’t say they didn’t give you a heads-up.

The thing that gets me is that they not only leave out the most iconic chase in the franchise (“The Road Warrior”), but they don’t include the best chase in *this movie*. Because you know what the early chase in “Fury Road” doesn’t have? STUNT PEOPLE ON POLES. A car chase that includes stunt performers on swaying…

100%. It’s so well-choreographed…and hilarious. What other film on this list includes a Chinese dragon?

“Every non-MCU Marvel film,” aside from not one, but two adaptations of “Fantastic Four?”

“Howard the Duck” has more than enough going for it to keep it out of last place, including but not limited to Lea Thompson (yowza), and a terrific go-motion Dark Overlord sequence. I have always loved the Cajun Sushi diner scene, with Jeffrey Jones hamming away as the possessed Dr. Jenning while everyone else fails…

“Psycho 2” is a *great* film, twisting and turning and subverting expectations. It has the audience rooting for Norman Bates, and the ending hits hard…like a shovel.

Indeed. It’s the one “serious” film of Moore’s run, and very, very welcome after the utter foolishness of “Moonraker.”

“Never Say Never Again” is such an obvious comparison that its absence from an article on 1983 movie sequels is odd. (Yes, it’s technically a remake, but c’mon.)

Give me the Yuzzem from “Splinter of the Mind’s Eye,” Star’s End from the Han Solo books, and the Zeltrons and Nagai from the original Marvel comics. 

He was named Kylo Ren.

Have to say that I am really loving R5-D4’s adventures. Not kidding. 

There’s one in episode 2 of “The Book of Boba Fett.”
