Premise: Two wanderers, a young man and a young woman, meet in the desert and decide to travel on together. The two travelers walk and hitchhike their way down the road to their destination, the beach, becoming friends and lovers. There is no spoken dialogue in the film. Amblin’ won the top prize at the Atlanta Film Festival and another award at the Venice Film Festival. When Sid Sheinberg saw the film at a private screening, Spielberg was put under a seven-year contract at Universal. The film was released as part of a double bill with Love Story in 1970 and because of the popularity of Love Story, Spielberg’s short was seen by millions of moviegoers.

Series Premise and Pilot storyline:

This anthology series consisted of several short stories. This pilot for the television series dealt with the supernatural. Rod Serling hosted it. In the 1970s the show featured three stories per episode. The three episodes in the show that Spielberg was involved included:

1. A story of a boorish, arrogant Southerner gets his comeuppance after murdering his rich relative
2. A sour, rich blind woman seeks to gain eyesight through immoral means -- the purchase of a poor man’s eyes -- only to have her chance to see during the infamous NYC blackout of 1965; (Spielberg’s episode)
3. An ex-Nazi tries to avoid capture in Brazil.

Premise: Marcus Welby, M.D. was one of two medical shadows that met with ratings success in the early 1970’. Both Dr. Kildare and Marcus Welby, M.D. had an older wiser doctor and a younger bolder physician as the man characters, who solved a myriad of ills in their patients.

Episode Premise: A young boy, who is a hemophiliac, feels himself to be an outsider and in order to become just "one of the guys" takes on daredevil actions that imperil his wellbeing. Boy the boy’s body and psyche had to be healed, so that the character became part of the whole, but refrained from endangering his life. It speaks out in favor of the rights of the disabled.

Credits:
Director Steven Spielberg

Series Premise: This anthology series consisted of several short stories per episode. Every major character is represented as a painting in a strange museum.

Episode Premise: This two-part episode that deals with a "miracle worker", who comes to aid of a stand-up comic, who can no make the audience laugh. Jackie Vernon plays the sad-sack genie to Godfrey Cambridge’s failed comic. Like all Serling’s work there is a twist. Now no matter what the comic says or does the audience laughs, even at Cambridge’s suicide. It is not unlike the Spielberg segment, "Kick the Can" in TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE.

Credits:
Director Steven Spielberg

Series Premise:
This odd series had three rotating stars, which were featured in independent episodes tied together by a loose common theme. The commonality was Howard Publications, the self-made publishing empire of Glenn Howard. Episodes featuring Howard focused on his business and political confrontations and his flamboyant lifestyles. Other episodes featured Jeff Dillon, a crusading investigative reporter, or Dan Farrell. Farrell was a retired FBI agent who used his position as the editor of "Crime Magazine" to wage a literary war against organized crime. The series had several semi-regulars who were featured in one or more of the plot threads, including editorial Assistant Peggy Maxwell, and junior reporters Joe Sample, Andy Hill and Ross Craig

Episode Premise: This episode deviated from the normally staid, straight forward, journalistic series set in the current time frame (1970 - 1971) Los Angels. After a car crash, publisher, Gene Barry awake in a nightmarish "1984" world in which man is destroying himself and his environment with pollution of the planet. Both polluters and environmentalists are extremists in the coma-induced dream world. Upon recovery Barry begins a magazine crusade that tries to steer a middle course between the extremes.

Notable Guest Appearances:
Edward Asner Vince Leonard (episode "The Perfect Image")
Gloria Grahame Madame Noh (episode "The Takeover" (1/23/1970)')
Hal Holbrook Mayor John Adrian (episode "The Perfect Image")

Stephen Hudis "The Private World of Martin Dalton"

Premise:
Another medical network series, "The Psychiatrist" focused on psychological disorders and was one of the four character-driven segments
1. In the "Par for the Course" episode Roy Thinnes helps a golf pro cope with terminal cancer. In an improvised scene the pro’s friends dig up the 18th hole and present it to Clu Gallagher in the hospital.
2. In "The Private World of Martin Dalton" deals with the recovery of a 12 year who has lost is grip on reality and lives in a "Salvador Daliesque" fantasy world do to the divorce of his parents. Obviously, a dysfunctional family with a lonely child was close to Spielberg’s heart.

Peter Falk Lt. Columbo

Jack Cassidy Ken Franklin

Martin Milner Jim Ferris

Barbara Colby

Because of his good work on "the Psychiatrist" Link and Levinson gave Spielberg work directing the first regular episode of "Columbo" (after two pilots had already been shot).
Premise: This rumpled detective with the confused manner outwits a master criminal each week, which is slicker and smarter than the Peter Falk character.
Episode Premise: This particular episode is always held up as one of the very best in this well regarded series. Jack Cassidy, a mystery writer, commits the "perfect crime" -- the killing of his onetime collaborator, Martin Milner. An unrequited lover, Barbara Colby, is blackmailing the writer. Columbo, of course, unravels the mystery and gets his man.

Premise: In a small California town, attorney Owen Marshall, assisted by several different younger lawyers, defends clients with great compassion for the accused. Scripts tended to be better than most because of Dr. McNeely’s script doctoring, but this episode was Spielberg’s least favorite directing experience.
Episode Premise: A football coach encourages a star player to take amphetamines and after the player dies during a game, the coach is defended at his trial by Owen Marshall.

Summary: David Mann (Dennis Weaver) is trying to drive his car across California. When he tries to pass a gas tanker, the driver somehow takes offense. At first the unseen driver just annoys David by continually passing him and slowing down. Then the game becomes deadly. The story is seen from David's point of view, with commentary as he thinks to himself. The concept, however, revolves around the embodiment of evil. Is there a driver in the truck? Is the truck "the devil’ or a impure embodiment of evil? Why pick out David Mann, who is peacefully driving along? Is it fated? Listen to the sound of the truck at the end of the film; does it have more meaning than man conquering the "furies?" In this character study, is the protagonist made to do and suffer and change? Is it, man against nature or man against society or man against machine?

A. Duel was originally a made-for-TV movie, but this Spielberg film was lengthened and re-edited for theatrical release in Europe, at the request of CIC (the foreign distributor).

B. Spielberg shot an additional 16 minutes of footage (bringing the running time up to 90 minutes from the original 74 minutes of the TV version), including:

1. A longer title sequence

2. The scene showing the killer truck trying to push Dennis Weaver's car under a train at a railroad crossing

3. And, the scene where Weaver stops at a gas station and phones and his wife, which was written by producer George Eckstein to inflate the running time to the requested 90 minutes, reportedly against Spielberg's will.

C. There are less than 50 lines of dialogue in the entire film.

D. Spielberg refers to the piece as an "exercise in paranoia". But as Henry Kissinger remarked "even paranoid people have enemies."

E. Ten years after its TV release and a feature film run in Europe, Duel" had a theatrical release in the United States (1980) to capitalize on the enormous success of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and the box office clout and name recognition of a Steven Spielberg film.

F. Duel won the Cariddi D’Oro at the Taormina Film Festival in Roma for Best New Director and the Grand Prize at the Festival du Cinema Fantastique at Paris. It won an Emmy for Best Sound and an Emmy nomination for Best Cinematography.

Notes: Steven Spielberg developed the story stunt pilot barnstorming his way across America, but he was "taken off the project." He did not write the script nor direct the picture. It was a very painful experience, mishandled from the start. Spielberg has never made a picture for 20^th Century Fox.

Summary: Lou Jean Poplin (Goldie Hahn) browbeats her husband, Clovis Poplin (William Atherton) who is pre-release detention, to escape so that they can kidnap their infant son, Baby Langston, from his lawful foster parents. They catch a ride with the parents of another inmate. When they crash that car, they take a hostage, Officer Slide (Michael Sachs), who is a member of Texas Highway Patrol. They race across Texas pursued by hundreds of police cars often reminiscent of Keystone Cop chases. Because of news media coverage, the trio instantly become folk heroes and is welcomed by crowds along the route. Clown-like vigilantes attack the trio after they spend the night hiding in a used car lot. Captain Tanner (Ben Johnson) the leader of the pursuit tries to bring them in peaceably, but fails. The performances of the four principals are very strong in this comic "Bonnie and Clyde car crash movie," which is an extremely well made debut feature film outing for Spielberg. Although the film received excellent critical reviews, it was not a runaway hit at the box office.

Summary: A New England community named Amity is terrorized by shark attacks at the height of the tourist season. The local police chief, Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) brings in a marine biologist, Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) to identify the offending "eating machine." A salty old fisherman and shark hater, Quint (Robert Shaw) is hired by the Town Council to kill the Great White shark. This mismatched trio heads out to sea to put and end to the terror, and find that they have met their match. Jaws was the first of the smash mega-hits to earn over $100 million and it is credited with starting the trend of extremely wide releases. Both John Williams score and Verna Fields editing are sensational. The film rights were purchased a year before Peter Benchley’s novel reached bookstore shelves. Anything shot on water is problematic, but this shoot was a nightmare, because the mechanical shark nicknamed Bruce after Spielberg’s attorney, rarely worked. It was so problematic that Universal considered pulling the plug on the project. Jaws remains a stunning, still terrifying, movie, which wraps the audience in a psychological vice-grip, and it made the 27 year-old Steven Spielberg a star.

Jaws Notes:

1.Sterling Hayden was the original choice for the role of Quint. Hayden, however, was in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service for unpaid tax. All of Sterling Hayden's income from acting was subject to a levy by the IRS. There was an attempt to circumvent that: Hayden was also a writer, so one idea was to pay him union scale for his acting, and buy a story from him (his literary income wasn't subject to levy) for a large sum. It was concluded that the IRS would see through this scheme, so Robert Shaw was cast instead.
2. The book on sharks that Brody flicks through features a shark with a diver's tank in its mouth.
3. Shaw following a disagreement between wrote Quint's tale of the USS Indianapolis
screenwriters Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb. Shaw presented his text, and Benchley and
Gottlieb agreed that this was exactly what was needed. Whoever was responsible, Shaw got
the date of the sinking wrong, claiming it was June 29th, 1945, when in reality it was July 29th, 1945.
4. The live shark footage was shot at Seal Rocks, Australia. A real white pointer was cut up and
``extended'' for the close-up shots.
5. A midget in a miniature cage and a real shark were used to get some shots correct.
6. Susan Backlinie was experiencing real pain during her attack scene at the beginning of the
film. She was attached to straps and divers underneath pulled too hard.
7. During the filming of some scenes, Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Shaw had to look in
amazement off camera at a non-existent shark.
8. Preview audiences screamed when the head of a shark victim appears in the hole in the
bottom of the boat. Director Steven Spielberg re-shot the scene in editor Verna Fields'
swimming pool because he wanted them to ``scream louder''.
9. A real shooting star can be seen during a shot of the boat on the water at dusk.
10. Author Peter Benchley was thrown off the set after objecting to the final ending.

Summary: This is superb science fiction film with a screenplay written by Steven Spielberg and Paul Schrader (Uncredited) based on a story and 8mm " student film "by Spielberg titled Firelight. The film deals with an alien encounter of the third kind (level), which actual physical contact with an alien being. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss again plays Spielberg’s alter-ego.) is an ordinary man, an "everyman" if you will, who is trying to understand and cope with an enigma that is embedded in his mind. The enigma is a five-tone scale and the visual image of a mountain or mesa. The enigma has been implanted in the minds of other individuals that have had encounters of the first or second kind. Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon) has been traumatized by the adduction of her son Barry (the enormously appealing Cary Guffey) by the aliens. When the answer to the riddle of the image and tones finally becomes clear, Roy and Jillian race against all odds to the first human alien encounter. This powerhouse score may well be John Williams' most evocative score, because it carries so much of the meaning of the film. The FX are spectacular and "the painting with the light" by Vilmos Zsigmond' is bloody brilliant. A highlight of Close Encounters of the Third Kind is the very appealing performance by French director, François Truffaut, as Claude Lacombe, the leader of the scientific team. One of the strengths of the film is that it does not offer answers to all of the questions it asks. The audience has to think its’ way through this monumental film. In 1980, Columbia re-released the film as Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Special Edition after Spielberg re-edited the film to tighten the middle and expand alien-encounter material in the resolution. It is a warm, wonderful and intelligent quest for knowledge.

Summary: This big budget film with a big name cast failed as a comedy. Bigger is not necessarily funnier. Spielberg has control of the technology, but loses control of both the performances and the pace of the story. It is an incoherent, humorless exercise in excess. The script by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis is loosely based on actual events that led to paranoia in Los Angeles after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In the movie, the cartoon characters think they are under attack by Japanese bombers.

Summary: E.T. the Extraterrestrial is the quintessential Science Fantasy film. It is to the eighties what The Wizard of Oz was to the forties. In both films there are characters longing to go home. In E.T. a human boy Elliott (Henry Thomas), alienated by the loss of a Father in a divorce, finds a father-figure alien friend, who has the power of healing. The two are linked symbiotically and each helps to save the other. And there is also a grown-up Elliott in the character of Keys (Peter Coyote) who is also in a search for meaning. Both Elliott and Keys are variations on the director’s persona. We must always clap to save Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, and it is very human to believe in E.T. It is shame that some have lost "grace" and can no longer believe in the inherent goodness of a film of this caliber.

Summary: This is a truly scary ghost story co-written, co-produced and, rumors have it, co-directed by Steven Spielberg. It is ertainly well paced with amazing frightening moments with dazzling effects. It is certainly another Spielberg roller-coaster ride for the average American in which the bravest soul is the Mother. It starts out as "Casper and his friendly ghosts" and ends in a horrific confrontation with the dark one himself. It is a landmark film in the horror genre and spawned two sequels and a TV series. Zelda Rubinstein is wonderfully memorable as the diminutive psychic that comes to rescue the family.

""You wanna see something really scary?"

Notes: On July 23, 1982, actor Vic Morrow and two juvenile Vietnamese-American children were killed during an accident on set. John Landis was re-shooting the scene to get a helicopter in closer to the ground to stir up the water, explosion effect caused a helicopter to crash, decapitating the three actors. A decade later, Landis and four others were found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter charges.

1985 Saturn Award Best Horror Film

Summary: This wonderful, mildly scary, black comedy has at its center a loveable exotic creature, a warbling Mogwai named Gizmo. However, when wet Gizmo generates obnoxious and dangerous offsprings. This mysterious Chinatown "fable" is infested with naughty little monsters that perpetrate miseries on your typical suburban landscape. It is the same backlot town square used in Back to the Future and It’s a Wonderful Life that the creatures terrorize. This comic nightmare is wonderful ghoulish fun filled with wickedly biting gags. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins were responsible for the creation of the MPPA rating of PG-13. Both films were about to be awarded and R rating, which would have had a negative effect on box office revenue. The movie theatre advertises a double feature consisting of A Boy’s Life, which was the original title of E.T. the Extraterrestrial, and Watch the Skies the original title for Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).

Notes: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins were responsible for the creation of the MPPA rating of PG-13. Both films were about to be awarded and R rating, which would have had a negative effect on box office revenue. An early draft of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) had placed Indiana Jones in Shanghai to retrieve the Staff of Ra. He managed to escape behind a giant rolling gong as the bad guys fire submachine guns. The script also had Indy and Marion escaping in a mine-cart chase. These scenes wound up in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, rather than Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Summary: Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is sent into the past in a DeLorean/time machine invented by his friend Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Marty is accidentally transported back to 1955. Marty meets teenage version of his parents, disrupts their romance when his Mom becomes infatuated with her future son and deflates the school bully. Marty then has to play matchmaker for his folks so that they get married and have him! After a somewhat slow start it roars off a frantic climax. It is a wonderful, wacky SciFi comedy, perhaps the best ever made.

Summary: This beautiful film follows the life of Celie (Whoopi Goldberg, a "beautiful" young black girl growing up in the early 1900's in poverty and sexual exploitation. Celie survives 40 years of difficulty and manages to remain beautiful and strong in the face of terrible adversity. Celie smiles and smiles and smiles. Critics stirred up a politically correct controversy, because a white filmmaker was teaching a powerful lesson about an African American woman. The criticism was unwarranted and the film soars with searing performances that warms hearts as they are shattered. Alice Walker and Steven Spielberg tell a story that is a victory over suffering.

"This is ridiculous. It's crazy. I feel like I'm babysitting."

Summary: A motley crew of "Spielberg Kids" decide to have a cave adventure looking for buried pirate treasure without Spielberg. That’s part of the problem – no Steven around the kids, who remain a bunch of smart-alecks throughout the film. But the villains are good old-fashioned smarmy fun. John Matuszak, Robert Davi, Joe Pantolino and Anne Ramsey, a dear little old Mom just this side of Hades, steal the movie from the prepubescent "brat pack." Go and root for the good "bad guys."

1985 Nomination for Visual Effects Dennis Muren, Kit West, John Ellis, David Allen

Summary: It has the look and feel of a Spielberg-Lucas collaboration, which it is, not unlike their independent TV efforts in George Lucas’ The Indiana Jones Chronicles and Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories. And Holmes and the heroine have uncanny resemblance to a young Steven Spielberg and a young Amy Irving, Spielberg’s first wife. The premise is that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson were school chums and as junior sleuths foil the murderous plot of an Egyptian cult. The film is great fun for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s series of stories, because of the frequent references to the Holmes and Watson we all know in their later fictional lives. The mixture of Victorianna and FX could not find a young audience, which did not have a clue.

Summary: Dorothy, back in Kansas, can't stop thinking about Oz, and even believes that her friends have sent her a key. Auntie Em, worried for Dorothy's health, takes her to a famous doctor who works miracles with electricity. When Dorothy escapes from the treatment, she and a chicken named Billina find themselves in Oz. But when Dorothy tries to find her old friends in the Emerald City, she learns that the Nome King has transformed them all. And the evil witch Mombie wants Dorothy's head. It's up to Dorothy, Billina, and their new friends, the clockwork Tik-Tok (aka the royal army of Oz), Jack Pumpkinhead, and a Gump-thing to defeat Mombie and the Nome King and restore the rightful ruler of Oz to her throne.

Summary: The film is a "coming-of-age" story set in UT-Austin about a group of graduating seniors take off on one last road trip before assuming the responsibilities marriage, the War in Vietnam and other aspects of adult life. The basis of the film was Reynolds’ thesis film, Proof, that Spielberg saw and funded as a feature film. Although it is not a great film, it does have a charm all its own.

"Somewhere Out There"

Summary: An American Tail was the first animated feature to be produced by Amblin’ Entertainment in association with the great animation team of Don Bluth, which had previously made the brilliant The Secret of NIMH. Steven Spielberg was credited as the Executive Producer and Bluth was the director. Spielberg had brought the idea to Bluth and secured financing for the project. In this serious story that has a happy ending, Fievel Mousekewitz, a young Russian mouse, and his family emigrate from their homeland to America, where they have been told there are no cats and no pogroms. On route, Fievel gets separated from his parents. Upon arrival in the New World, he searches for the American Dream as well as his family. But, alas, he must keep running and dodging American cats. As is all of Bluth’s work this a beautifully executed, heart-felt tale. It found an audience large enough to finance a sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991), and an animated TV series, Fievel's American Tails. The performance of Dom DeLuise as the lovable Tiger is alone worth the price of admission.

Summary: This is a slapstick comedy about a young couple, Walter Fielding and Anna Crowley that by their Dream house only to find out that it is a hole in the ground that they pore money down, thus the title The Money Pit. It is misadventures with the very loveable Tom Hanks and Shelley Long trying repair their lemon of a house. Some critic’s saw it as a yuppie Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House (1948) that starred Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. But the earlier movie was more than a series of sight gags.

Summary: A group of elderly tenants in an apartment building are being evicted so that the building can be demolished. The tenants refuse to move out and the villainous developer hires gang members to terrorize the residents into leaving. However, an alien, mechanical life-form visiting earth comes to the rescue of the tenants to defeat the nefarious developer. Matthew Robbins, the director and screenwriter, had helped write the story for Spielberg’s first feature, The Sugarland Express and ha directed an episode of "Amazing Stories."

Summary: Jack Putter (Martin Short), a hysterical hypochondriac, is inadvertently injected with a serum containing a miniaturized one-man sub piloted by Lt. Tuck Pendelton (Dennis Quaid). The serum was supposed to be experimentally injected into a laboratory rabbit but goes astray in a "scardy-cat." The villains try to steal Putter with the sub inside. Innerspace is a slapstick spin on the SciFi classic Fantastic Voyage. Short is an off the wall hoot doing his best physical imitation of Robin Williams in distress. It is a silly wonderful film full of implausible complications.

Empire of the Sun Summary: J. G. Ballard is today a leading SF writer. But childhood experiences led to his also writing an autobiographical novel about a boy, James Graham (Christian Bale), who is wrenched from a privileged life in Shanghai December 8, 1941. In the chaos of the invasion Jim becomes separated from his parents and is imprisoned in the Japanese internment camp, Soo Chow. The child’s fascination with airplanes and flying is fueled by the fact that a military airfield is next to the camp. Despite the brutality, sickness, food shortages and other horrors in the camp, Jim not only survives, but brings out a kind of spirit and dignity and grace in fellow internees. The film’s horrors are "beautifully" realized in the extraordinary photography of Allen Daviau.

Summary: The George Henderson family while returning from a vacation in Harry’s forest home bump into Harry "Bigfoot" Sasquatch with their car. The family thinks they have killed a hairy troll-like E.T. and decide to bring it home, where, surprise, it recovers. Far from being a ferocious monster, the family acquires a "pet-friend." Unfortunately their friendly giant has to be hidden from neighbors, the authorities and a Bigfoot hunter. This is an endearing child’s tale about learning what it means to a humane being as well a human being. It is a movie that teaches even big kids to love and care for those different from us, like their "putz" of a father wonderfully portrayed by John Lithgow.

Summary: The world’s love affair (or fright affair) now has a new animated phenomenon, The Land Before Time from Don Bluth-Amblin’-Lucasfilm. In this second animated film from Bluth-Spielberg, an orphaned brontosaurus named Littlefoot sets off in search of the legendary Great Valley. This is supposed to be a Shangri-La of sorts, where there is lush vegetation and all dinosaurs can live in peace and harmony. Littlefoot recruits other young dinosaurs, each one from a different species, to come along on his quest. They encounter numerous obstacles and learn to work together in order to survive. This pleasant story is for younger viewers, who like very mild fright. There have been five straight to video sequels of this film:

The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure (1994)

The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving (1995)

The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists (1996)

Summary: Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a groundbreaking free for all of a film in terms of the integration of live action and Animation. It works at two levels, first as a straight forward slapstick comedy, and secondly as a Trivial Pursuit adventure into Animation lore. A live action, down on his luck, private eye Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is hired by animated "Toon" star Roger Rabbit to snoop on his wife, Jessica. However, it becomes a murder caper when the studio head is found dead and Eddie has to save Roger from being convicted and erased. The incredible blend of live-action and Animation is credit to the acting of Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd as the villainous, Judge Doom. The piece works because of the absolute willing suspension of belief that audiences bring to the film. Toonville and the cartoon characters actually seem to have an existence rooted in the "real world."

Summary: The third installment of the series involves a search for the Holy Grail, the cup used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is aided in his quest for the Grail by his father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery), Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) and Sallah (John Rhys-Davies). For the second time the Nazis are the villains in this search for the key to eternal life. The series is reminiscent of the old-fashioned Saturday matinee serials with the look of pulp magazines that boys loved "once upon a time," but the story telling style and "look" have up-dated the wonder and excitement of the cliffhanger. The opening "flash back" explains a lot of events that made "Indy" the man he is today. Last Crusade has all of the energy and panache of the original, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Summary: In the second installment of the Back to the Future trilogy Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) returns to whisk Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) off to 2015 in the DeLorean. The emergency they face involves the future of the McFly children. The villain, Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson), steals the DeLorean and takes a book containing 50 years of sports statistics back to his younger self, which is used to acquire an enormous gambling fortune. Biff transform bucolic Hill Valley into a nightmare environment. Doc and Marty must then retrieve the book to restore order out of chaos. This is the darkest of the three films, less humorous and more frenetic than the other two Back to the Future films.

Summary: Dad is a study of the turmoil an aging population is creating in America. In the past Mom and Dad raised the kids, but today Mom and Dad raise their children as well as they care for their aging parents. A busy executive, John Tremont (Ted Danson) learns his mother (Olympia Dukakis) has had a heart attack. He comes home and winds up becoming the "caregiver" for his father, Jake Tremont (Jack Lemmon). When Jake is diagnosed with cancer, the father-son struggle leads to a feeling they were incapable of having previously. And John comes to realize what he has been missing in his relationship with his own son. This is a male bonding "tear jerker" that found an elderly audience and brought them back to the movie theater.

Summary: Richard Dreyfuss (Pete) and John Goodman (Al) play buddies, who are daredevil forest-fire pilots.

When Pete is killed saving Al’s life, a guardian angel, played by Audrey Hepburn, sends Pete back to ease Dorinda’s deep depression and grief so that she can find happiness in loving another man. It is based on the Dalton Trumbo screenplay for the 1943 A Guy Named Joe directed by Victor Fleming.

"So I'm not sick? Except for this terminal disease?"

Summary: Joe Bank's (Tom Hanks) job is dehumanizing and the corporation for which he works is surreal. This failed fable is a comic spin on Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, with imagery and attitude to match. Joe quits his horrible job when he discovers that he has an incurable disease He jumps at an offer of the "good life" if he agrees to be a sacrificial lamb to appease the volcano god on the island of Waponi Woo. On the yacht taking him to Waponi Woo, Joe meets and falls in love with Patricia Graynamore. When they finally arrive at the sacrificial moment a kind of magnificent goofiness reigns. Meg Ryan is a hoot in three different roles, but the film failed to find and audience despite being well written and beautifully realized in the designs of Bo Welch.

"All they have to do is to eat three or four children
and there'd be the most appalling publicity."

Summary: That naughty army of malevolent little Mogwais is back in business and to prove it they evolve and overrun a high-tech corporate empire joining forces with the owner in today’s high tech world might be Microsoft’s Bill Gates. This is a goof-ball send up of the earlier film and the whole "monster-mash" genre. The naughty boys are back creating "to die for" havoc in the "Big Apple." No town serves a visit from the boys than NYC. It a gag filled romp with lots of Hollywood insider jokes and pointed barbs. How could a movie be bad with "King of Baddies" Christopher Lee "trumped up" as a mad genetic scientist, who collects diseases to share with the world? Forget the storyline, Gremlins 2 is "character studies." And you have to sit through the closing credits.

Summary: The final episode of the Back to the Future trilogy sends Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) back to 1885, where he must rescue Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) from death at the hands of the outlaw Tannen gang. The storyline is complicated when Doc falls for the new schoolmarm (Mary Steenburgen). Getting back to the future, however, is complicated by a lack of gasoline for the time machine. It is a fitting conclusion to this high-tech, rapid-fire comic time travel SF adventure.
