This is truly bizarre, but really fun. Everyone overacting, especially John Lithgow which is great.
One of my all time favourites with the look of this movie
A pinnacle of bonkers 80s sci-fi films. Packed with a lot of charm and wild characterizations, it has a place close to my heart
Bizarre, bonkers, brilliant fun. It makes no sense in any dimension but boy, it's full of classic scenes and dialogue!
This film has so much happening, but none of it is too much or overbearing. I love it!
A really unique film with a classic 80s charm. Great cast and cooky story line. Tons of fun from start to finish
a daffy, ridiculous movie that somehow sticks the landing.
One of my favorite movies. Definitely not for everybody but I love its weirdness.
Not as wild and bombastic as I hoped, but still a pretty fun cult flick. Jeff Goldblum wears a cowboy outfit.
I remember seeing it in the theater, when it first came out, & loving it. I saw it recently, I still liked it despite it being kinda hokey.
