Bug! (1975)
Apr 11, 1999Intelligent Firestarting Insects
William Castle production about the discovery of a species of insects that can start fires. Easily dismissable as a schlock film but it has an intelligence and eerie insect photography that make it more than that
Jaws 2 (1978)
Sep 30, 2001Killer Shark
The best of the mostly worthless Jaws sequels. With a bigger budget, the shark attacks are more spectacular but there is nothing akin to the sustained suspense of the first film's extended climax

Sep 25, 2000Time-Travel Romance
Old-fashioned romantic weepie with Christopher Reeve hypnotising himself into travelling back in time to 1912 to woo actress Jane Seymour
Supergirl (1984)
Jul 5, 2000Comic-Book Superheroine

Santa Claus – The Movie (1985)
May 25, 2003The Santa Claus Story
