 Sorry about that. All of the ones I’ve picked so far are by memory and have seen in the theater as a kid. Never remember what year. Found a pretty cool site it doesn’t look like anyone is using to get the dates. Great job running this show. I’m having a lot of fun. 🤟🏿🥕👋

Several sites I have stumbled upon have it as a top 100 of the 80s. Steal of a pick at this point in the game

Robocop brings back memories of Coleman Young era Detroit. Twenty years of Coleman turned Detroit into the city it is today.

A few sites I’ve seen have it in the top 50 of overall 80s movies. 
To me this is much more an action flick than Sci Fi… then again, so much fits into Sci Fi. My first horror selection of Gremlins could go there.. Ghostbusters could go there. 
 

one of the bigger challenges (fun) of this for me is deciding where to slot films. I may even change Katate Kid more than once for example.

A reminder that those of us on the corners (you, WW, Herbie, and me), go through long stretches when the draft is moving away from us,  and are all happy to cover for folks away from their computers.

I’m mildly surprised this was not picked and would still be surprised even if it wasn’t name dropped earlier. I don’t really care for this category, as mentioned before, and almost everyone has the slot filled so maybe I could wait but would rather take it now than risk someone picking it for Drama or Flex. Brings back memories to when I first saw it in middle school history class 

13.2 - Glory - War (1989)

I’m mildly surprised this was not picked and would still be surprised even if it wasn’t name dropped earlier. I don’t really care for this category, as mentioned before, and almost everyone has the slot filled so maybe I could wait but would rather take it now than risk someone picking it for Drama or Flex. Brings back memories to when I first saw it in middle school history class 

13.2 - Glory - War (1989)

Unlike you, they filled the slot with non-war movies IMO.
