November 11, 2024157: NO WAY OUT (1987)
From the heyday of the techno thriller, we've got a very 80s movie with Gene Hackman, Kevin Costner, and lots of political and criminal intrigue. It's NO WAY OUT.

October 28, 2024156: Disney's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983)
In 1983, Walt Disney Productions released an interesting experiment: A children's horror movie set in an old-timey American town menaced by an evil carnival, with a screenplay adapted by Ray Bradbury himself from his classic novel. Doesn't sound very Disney, does it? It's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.
