John Carpenter was also on the top of his game in this decade with such classics as his remake of, The Thing, Escape From New York and the criminally under appreciated, The Fog.

Big drop off in quality from the 70’s imo, but Moonstruck was a great romantic comedy- Cher and Nick Cage never better.

Highlander at the time was awesomely good - but have to confess I watched it not that long ago and it was a tad dated - would be a good one for a remake with modern technology.

"LadyHawk loved it as a kid

A great film!
