Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

'Screamers' is a 1995 scifi movie starring Peter Weller. There's just something about the vibe of this movie that really draws me in. If you like sort of bleak mid budget scifi this is a good one.
'Hell Comes To Frogtown', a 1988 movie starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. A post apocalypse where there are frog people and Piper is playing a Mad Max type. It's an absurd fever dream of a movie. 'Big Trouble In Little China' energy.
'Soldier' from 1998 starring Kurt Russell. This is like a forgotten Kurt Russell movie. It's not particularly deep, but it's a good popcorn movie to watch a simple plot of a super soldier taking out evil super soldiers.
'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold' is a 1965 movie. About, of course, a spy. An agent sent not East Germany during the Cold War. It's not the normal action oriented James Bond kind of spy movie. It's a lot talkier, and I find it kind of depressing. So if you like that sort of thing, there it is.
'Observe And Report' is a Seth Rogan movie about being a mall security guard. It is nothing like the awful 'Paul Blart' movies, which everyone assumes when I mention it in real life. This movie is more like Death To Smoochie in its dark comedy sensibilities.
Hell Comes to Frogtown is a fantastic movie if you can get over the premise of the movie "the government hires a rapist to help jumpstart the population boom after humanity becomes endangered."
