The famous flop that actually turned a profit. Brutal reviews, a runaway budget and the nickname 'Kevin's Gate', but Waterworld made its money back in the end. The label stuck anyway.

Danny Cannon's reward for The Young Americans was this big budget Judge Dredd, with a badly miscast Sylvester Stallone who criminally takes his helmet off. Another 17 years before 2012's Dredd showed how it's done.

Harrison Ford returns as the best Jack Ryan and once again doesn’t disappoint. Rewatched this recently and it still absolutely holds up.

Debra Winger more than holds her own next to Sir Anthony Hopkins in this eminently watchable tearjerker from Sir Dickie Attenborough.

You can’t beat a good lookie-likey film, and this is a good lookie-likey film.

If they remade this now it would be an eight-part mini-series dragged out over weeks. Sydney Pollack shows that with a tight script and a great cast you can do it all in two and a half hours.

Clint Eastwood was 63 when he starred in this Wolfgang Petersen actioner, so there’s still hope for me.

Would have been excited for this because John McTiernan was directing rather than for Arnold. Schwarzenegger blamed the disappointing box office on it opening too close to Jurassic Park, but the fact I’ve never felt the need to rewatch it probably tells a different story.

As I’ve got older I’ve become more and more claustrophobic. Not sure I could watch this now.

Some films are just perfect. This is one of those.

Near Dark marked Kathryn Bigelow out as a director to watch, but it came a bit too early for Admit One Daily. Not so this excellent follow-up. Plenty more Bigelow to come in the weeks and months ahead.

Not content with producing some of the biggest films of all time, Frank Marshall thought he’d have a go at Directing too. Not a bad first effort this. Unless you’re scared of spiders, of course.

The Elm Street films were coming thick and fast by the late ’80s. The most notable thing about this one is that it marks the debut screenplay of Brian Helgeland, who went on to win an Oscar for adapting L.A. Confidential. It’s also an early film from director Renny Harlin, later responsible for Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, and the famously ill-fated Cutthroat Island.

You wait all your life for a film about twins, then two come along at once. Or should that be four? Anyway, Jeremy Irons is absolutely terrific in this. David Cronenberg was on an incredible run through the ’80s, and this is right up there with his very best.

Apparently, because of a profit-share deal, this ended up being the biggest pay cheque of both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito’s film careers.
Pleased to have made a small contribution to that.

Apparently this film didn’t even get a theatrical release in North America, but from the producer of Star Wars, the director of Tron, and starring Mark Hamill, you can imagine how excited we were to see it in 1989.

Looking back at this, I was sad to discover that co-writer/director Jim Abrahams died in 2024. I was a huge fan growing up — Airplane!, Police Squad and the criminally under-appreciated Top Secret! were endlessly rewatchable. I’ve not seen the new version yet, but I gather it’s actually not bad.

The most notable thing about this ticket is the reminder that Die Hard was an 18 certificate in the UK. These days I’m pretty sure ITV show it unedited on Sunday afternoons.

In 1988, I suspect I went to see this more for Matthew Broderick than for Neil Simon. What I remember most, though, is coming away struck by just how good Christopher Walken was.

I’ve never walked out of a film but I nearly walked out of this. Which probably says more about me at 18 than it does about the film. I just found it boring. I should probably revisit with a more mature outlook.
Great Saul Bass poster though.

The 1980s had a real thing for nostalgia about the ’50s and ’60s. I seem to remember there were quite a few films like this, most of which I managed to avoid. This is one I didn’t. Clearly I was dragged along — if it is indeed possible to be dragged to a film starring Phoebe Cates.
