ALIEN_NATION_(1988)

ALIEN NATION (1988)

L.A. cop James Caan gets partnered with a space alien who does some really weird things, like drink spoiled milk (ewwww), and melt when he's exposed to sea water (eeeek). However, the eccentric extraterrestrial proves invaluable during the investigation into Caan's former partner's death. Surprisingly intelligent sci-fi film attracted a lot of fans with its pointed commentary on the impact of immigration and the challenges of assimilation, so much so that it inspired a television show, a series of novels and a host of made-for-TV movies. Directed by Graham Baker.

CLUELESS_(1995)

CLUELESS (1995)

Here's the 411. Genuinely funny and good-natured updating of the Jane Austen chestnut "Emma" follows a rich Beverly Hills high schooler who tries to make the world a better place by playing matchmaker. Alicia Silverstone's ('memba her?) winning performance and a script peppered with Valspeak are a highlight. What-ever! With Paul Rudd and Brittany Murphy. Directed by Amy Heckerling.

Congo

CONGO (1992)

Big, goofball, yet surprisingly irresistible adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel racked up multiple Razzie Awards upon its release but, like "Showgirls," has since developed something of a cult following because of its, well, mind-boggling goofiness. The plot involves killer gorillas, diamond mines, laser beams, earthquakes and a group of adventurers making their way through darkest Africa, where they pitch their tents in high camp. Did we mention the talking monkey? With Laura Linney, Dylan Walsh and Ernie Hudson. Directed by Frank Marshall.

COWBOY_WAY,_THE_(1994)

THE COWBOY WAY (1994)

"Crocodile Dundee"-like tale about two New Mexican cowpokes (Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland) who saddle up for the Big Apple when a friend's daughter disappears. The two stars carry the entire film with their effortless charm and good-natured horsing around. With Dylan McDermott. Directed by Gregg Champion.

FRESHMAN,_THE_(1990)

THE FRESHMAN (1990)

Marlon Brando plays Don Corleone. That's the joke, and it's a great one, in this wonderfully off-the-wall comedy about a film student (Matthew Broderick) who encounters the inspiration for "The Godfather." And you've just gotta love Brando's Komodo dragon. With Bruno Kirby, Penelope Ann Miller and Bert Parks. Yes, that Bert Parks. Directed by Andrew Bergman.

GRIFTERS,_THE_(1990)

THE GRIFTERS (1990)

Thrilling, pulpy neo-noir traps con artist John Cusack between his mom (Anjelica Huston) and girlfriend (Annette Bening), both of whom have more angles than a protractor. All the performances are top notch, but Huston slinks off with the movie as the coldblooded Lilly. Directed by Stephen Frears.

MEET JOE BLACK

MEET JOE BLACK (1998)

On the eve of his 65th birthday, media mogul Bill Parish (Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins) gets the chance to cut a deal with Death: the Grim Reaper (Academy Award nominee Brad Pitt) will postpone Parish's death in exchange for a tour of life and the world. Taking on human form as Joe Black, Death's plan hits a snag when he falls for Parish's daughter. A stunning remake of the 1934 film "Death Takes a Holiday," Academy Award winning director Martin Brest spins this magical tale of romance and fantasy with a superb cast, including Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden.

PRESIDIO,_THE_(1988)

THE PRESIDIO (1988)

This is the movie where Sean Connery gives a dude a butt-whupping using only his thumb. Seriously. We could recommend a lot other things about "The Presidio," like the great chase scenes, and the chemistry between Mark Harmon and Meg Ryan, but Connery's thumb-thumping is hard to beat.

SOLARIS_(2002)

SOLARIS (2002)

Hypnotic exploration of outer and inner space finds George Clooney encountering the ghost of his dead wife aboard a space station. Decidedly romantic remake of the classic Russian sci-fier polarized audiences upon its release. But whatever your feelings toward the film's deliberate pacing, it's difficult not to get sucked into the metaphysical mystery at its core. And ladies, George has never looked more gorgeous. Directed by Steven Soderbergh.
