non-fiction:
- Cosmos by Carl Sagan (7 DVD Set)
- Evolution Boxed Set (8 hour PBS special produced by WGBH Boston, narrated by Liam Neeson)
- Fringe
- Loki
- ...
1970s Movies
Movies made/released in the 1970s I recommend (in addition to any above)
- Enter the Dragon (1973, on Netflix as of 2019)
- ...
1980s Movies
Movies made/released/about the 1980s I recommend (in addition to a few already in the lists above)
- Big Trouble In Little China
- The Last Dragon (1985, on Netflix as of 2019)
- ...
Aside: many previous favorite/memorable 1980s movies are somewhat (or very) problematic when re-evaluated with modern lenses, so I've deliberately left out several. Definitely worth in-person discussion.
1990s Movies
- The Crow (1994)
- Hackers (1995)
