Watching every movie released in 1987: Walker I really loved this film and have no idea why it's so underrated. Great performances (including Star Trek's René Auberjonois), a relentlessly witty script, and some bold directorial choices from Alex Cox.

Watching every movie released in 1987: Malone It's really hard to maintain attention on a movie when the lead actor is so disinterested. Reynolds seems to spend half the film literally lying down. His hair system is the real star of this movie though. It is a masterpiece.

Watching every movie released in 1987: Making Mr. Right Something felt off for me with this movie because it was clearly slick and witty but I just couldn't get into it. One of those movies I might enjoy more on a different day. Ann Magnuson was as magnetic as ever though.

Watching every movie released in 1987: Mannequin Classic 80s movie set in a department store and everything feels like it is from a bygone era now. 2nd movie of the year from Kim Cattrall, she was really at the top of her game in 1987.

Watching every movie released in 1987: Death Before Dishonor with Fred Dryer Dryer is a pretty convincing and charismatic action star, especially compared to most ex-football players who went into film. There's some good stunts in here but the story is pretty miserable as is the brownface acting.

Watching every movie released in 1987: A Return To Salem's Lot One of 2 movies released on this weekend in 1987. Felt like a TV movie at times but practical effects were fun. I'm now intrigued by the origin of groups of blonde kids seeming creepy, because it works on me every time. Never trust 'em.

Watching every movie released in 1987: Dancers An IMDB reviewer said "It's about the dancing not the acting"... but unfortunately not enough of the movie involved dancing & that left a whole lot of time for bad actors to deliver awful dialog. Baryshnikov screaming "Lisa" was extremely Tommy Wiseau.

Watching every movie released in 1987: Tin Men It was interesting to see 60s nostalgia through an 80s lens. The cast and the Cadillacs are incredible. Bonus points for the Fine Young Cannibals being the house band at the bar. This was one of my favourite movies of the year so far. 40/210

VHS for Tin Men with Richard Dreyfuss, Danny DeVito & Barbara Hershey

Watching every movie released in 1987: Lionheart with Eric Stoltz and Gabriel Byrne A reasonably fun action adventure which I might have enjoyed as a kid but is probably too slow for newer generations. 2nd movie of the year for Byrne and a 1st for Dexter Fletcher (what a career he's had).

Watching every movie released in 1987: From the Hip with Judd Nelson It's probably hard to judge this fairly since David E. Kelley went on to be so prolific and influential but this felt pretty flat. It provided a few laughs though, right up until John Hurt unexpectedly chilled me to my core.
