A View To A Kill (1985). A common complaint was that Roger Moore (57 at the time) was too old to play the character of James Bond. Did his age really make a difference in Octopussy, which came out two years earlier? To be honest, I really enjoy watching this one. Love the Duran Duran song!



Detroit Rock City.  I did not have to pay to see this in 1998 because I was an employee at the movie theater. I was so hoping this movie would be good.







Bride of the Monster (1955).  I love Ed Wood films. But this poster is way too good for an Ed Wood movie!






Star Trek V:  The Final Frontier (1989). "What does God need with a space ship?"  Probably the greatest and worse line of scripted dialogue of the 20th century.
