Matewan - a John Sayles historical drama about a bloody union struggle in 1920's West Virginia coal country.
The movie is great; the trailer betrays 80's production values:
My brother and I went to see that. It's one of his all time favorite movies. He and I got to see some great movies in theatrical release, like that one, the first Evil Dead movie and Repo Man. We also went to see John Dies at the End together. You can tell what kind of brother he is!May 1983 - Liquid Sky - first movie i took my small town N. Ontario girlfriend to on her first visit to the big/small S. Ontario city i lived in, first impressions...
The friend that had sent me a photocopy of a review for it months earlier, called me out of the blue that afternoon from Telluride where she was working, she'd call maybe once every few years depending where she was living/working. The movie was a one day showing at our local rep theatre, how'd she know...
My wife still talks about it... what a long strange trip it's been...

Exactly. Not the type of movie it appears to be at first.Jacobs Ladder.
A tense, frightening, tragic, uplifting and beautiful film.
Just finished watching cutters way a very good 80s thriller with Jeff bridges
Heard is great, but that era of Bridges movies are outstanding. Fat City, with Stacy Keach and Bridges is easily one of the most depressing movies ever, kind of an anti-Rocky. And then Stay Hungry with Sally Field, AHNOLD, and Bridges is easily on of the strangest movies ever made.The late John Heard is who makes that movie so much fun to watch. He chews the scenery, but in a very enjoyable way.
