30 years ago today MULTIPLICITY was released in theaters. While it didn’t hit at the box office, it remains an underrated gem in the directorial filmography of Harold Ramis and one of Michael Keaton’s best performances ever.

35 years ago today ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIEVES was released in theaters. Accent or no accent, it’s the blockbuster version of Robin Hood I’ve always enjoyed the most. Alan Rickman is devouring scenery at every turn. And Michael Kamen delivers one of his most iconic scores (Hello, Morgan Creek).

30 years ago today TWISTER was released in theaters. Jan de Bont‘s worthy follow up to SPEED is a spectacular blend of digital & practical FX anchored by a 5 star character actor kill squad. One of my top 3 PSH performances & the movie that finally made Bill Paxton the leading man. We’ve got cows!

This lost gem of Michael J. Fox's early 90s wilderness is more enjoyable than it gets credit for. It plays off of Fox's own persona as a former child star, but its magic is really in Christina Vidal's breakout performance. Shout out to the goat, David Krumholtz, for stealing every scene he's in.

A curious outlier in Bill Duke's directorial filmography, this comedy about a trio of friends who all become widows in short succession is not casual with its message about grief. But the chemistry between the three leads gives the film wings of levity and charm to rise above the dour premise.
