Alien Resurrection
1) Fantastic cinematography by Darius Khondji.
2) Sigourney Weaver having fun and looking great.
3) Ripley burns the failed clones. Very effective scene.

Battlefield Earth
I'm perhaps the only person on the planet who genuinely likes this movie. I was pissed when they edited it for home video. The truncated version is the only one ever released.
1.) Aliens with dreadlocks and huge feet.
2.) A drinking game can be made out of every time John Travolta turns around very quickly with an angry look on his face.
3.) Dialogue is hilarious and great fun to riff on with other people.
4.) "DESTROY ALL MAN ANIMALS AT WILL!"

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
1. Retains the dark, low-budget gritty aesthetic of the original.
2. The homoerotic stuff is actually a pretty gutsy move, not just for the era but for a franchise pic. It also adds a surreal touch to the film that really helps the '"what's real, what's a dream" factor.
3. The "you've got the body, I've got the brain" scene.
4. "Help yourself, fucker!"
5. The dream sequences still had the randomness of dream and their 'wtf' moments (like the dog with the human face). The later films seem to abandon this for the most part in favor of 'high concept' dream sequences.

I also thought that the protagonists were easier to sympathize with than in the first film.

Silent Rage (1982) with Chuck Norris
- Chuck as a badass Sheriff
- Chuck fights a Frankenstein/Michael Myers type serial killer
- One of the rare instances Chuck has sex in a movie. Although the sex scene was pretty blah.

The Avengers (2012)
- The girl from How I Met Your Mother looks pretty good
- The Hulk was well done
- Post-credit gag was funny

The Godfather
- I laughed when Don Corleone put an Orange Peel in his mouth
- I laughed when a Horse's head wound up in someone's bed
- I laughed when Sonny got all those holes in his suit

Oh man, I totally forgot that one, and I don't think I've seen it since 1983. All I remember is Chuck delivering a bunch of spinning back-kicks to the head of an indestructible serial killer.

Citizen Kane
--It put Orson Welles on his multi-decade long course of being an actor worthy of doing voice-work in 1986's Transformers: The Movie--a much superior cinematic offering.
--It laid the groundwork for that classic Simpsons episode with Mr. Burn's teddy bear from 1993. It was a symbol of his lost youth and innocence!
