Not bad for an 80s film...considering it won at the Oscars in 1976.

I wouldnt call some of those on your list classics by any means (Commando for example) but yes some decent ones there.

For pure cheese Weird Science is teh win, can't believe you missed it in that list as it sounds like a film you'd like?

Reading your list brought back so many memories.

Especially "big trouble in little china. - kim cattrall yum yum."
I've kinda got a thing for Kim, except I can't stand Sex in the shitty.

"THEY LIVE" - Classis line "We're gonna kick ass and chew gum, and I'm, all out of gum" or something like that.

Up here we say knob, other than that you're correct

 

[old.Fweddy]

If we're being pedantic then you spell it knob but say nob

Unless you don't believe in silent letters. In which case you're a k-nob.

You'd have thought that what with it being your favourite film you'd know that Connery is meant to be Spanish...
