What are some other years you consider good?
1999
Princess Bride also came out in '87
Also Three Men And A Baby and Throw Mama From The Train. Not that I particularly revere some of these but they're definitely household names. I never realized this, what the fuck was it about '87?
Not gonna lie, that might be the single greatest year for movies.
I watched RoboCop the other day to assess whether it truly is THE shit. It is. Holy fuck, it is. Movies were so good. So good.
Now watch RoboDoc.
Robo wants an oreo.
Someone shoop the Oreo and the OCP logo.
Midnight's Edge and Paul Chato were talking about it...
The new game was really fun too for robo fans

First Blood
Poltergeist
The King of Comedy
