It is hilariously disappointing that neither Alien nor Blade Runner can be find under their respective years. And Full Metal Jacket is apparently inferior to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Unreal.

    I think Alien is pretty great but 1979 is a tough year and there were at least ten better movies. I don't much care for Blade Runner, aside from its great visuals I don't think it has much to offer as it's a rather simplistic story yet muddled in the telling and frankly a little boring. I never cared what happened and generally think Ridley Scott is incredibly overrated. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Full Metal Jacket are too different to directly compare, but the latter is one of the most extreme cases of an excellent first half rapidly devolving into a disappointing second. The boot camp section is classic Kubrick but the Vietnam scenes bring nothing new to the table and lack a sense of purpose, failing to deliver on the promise of what preceded them. Believe it or not, different people have different taste and opinions. For real.

    Thanks. Leon is okay as far as action movies go, but wouldn't make my top 25 of the year. Honestly, I think Dead Poet's Society is downright bad. Probably Weir's worst as far as I'm concerned.
