Another interesting film from that general time period is Altered States, starring William Hurt as a scientist who takes genetic research just a bit too far. Very trippy. Also has great visuals. I haven't seen it for a long time, but I think it would still hold up well.

It's also funny as hell when it's not being scary as hell, is very well written, and has a great cast. I'll never understood why David Naughton didn't become a big star. I think you'd really enjoy it.

I think you missed what I was getting at. ;)

I have no problem with old movies and their [by today’s standard] lackluster special effects. With all my current down time I have been putting a little extra time into shows and movies I haven’t seen before. Some of them haven’t even been on my list because I didn’t even know about them. I had a couple of late nights I dedicated to watching some old film noirs that I wasn’t familiar with, and still more of them sitting there waiting on me. So I don’t mind dated so long as it either well acted with a good story/plot or, fun.

Yes, bump it to the top of your list!

Another one of my favorites. One of the best casts ever assembled.

Haven’t seen that since the 80s.

Just watched clips on YouTube after season 1 of Stranger Things ripped it off.

I watched Youngblood the other day... It seemed better in the 80's, but still entertaining...

I find it strange was American Werewolf actor David Naughton between that movie and he was doing those Dr. Pepper commercials at the time, I would of thought he'd be a big star. Don't remember ever seeing him ever again. I looked at his film credits and he's been busy, just not stuff I watch I guess.
