Stand by Me (1986) 88% 3/4 EDIT “It's a rare, deeply moving look at boyhood camaraderie, beautifully acted by everyone involved.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Sure Thing (1985) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Not only does [Reiner] show the main characters trying to cope with the cultural quirks and pressures of modern life, but he's got a healthy appreciation for the offbeat. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “Horror of any kind works on the mind, with the imagination of the film maker heightening that of the viewer. In "Christine," the only thing that the director successfully works on is the funny bone.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 17, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “It's junk, but good junk.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Predator (1987) 64% EDIT “John McTiernan's pedestrian direction emphasizes pyrotechnics, blood, gore and singular determination to avoid fleshing out his characters.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “Desert Hearts is a cut above the rest because it deals with recognizable people and their hang-ups and prejudices... It's a lovely movie full of feeling. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 12, 2025 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Some may view the light Kureishi sheds on his characters as harsh, but beneath the cynicism lies a streak of compassion. That turns out to be the saving grace of My Beautiful Laundrette. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 10, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% EDIT “It's satire at its absolute best.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Sep 9, 2025 Full Review High and Low (1963) 97% 4/4 EDIT “High and Low comes close to being a masterpiece of the detective genre. It's pure Kurosawa which means storytelling that thrills and subtle but vaulted philosophizing. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Explorers (1985) 49% 2/4 EDIT “The movie has its charming moments although a disconcertingly large number of slow ones, too... For summer fare, "Explorers" will do.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% 1.5/4 EDIT “"Superman IV" limps along rather than soars.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Supergirl (1984) 19% 3/4 EDIT “Director Jeannot Szwarc keeps the action balanced with equal parts good humor, adventure and romance. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Return to Oz (1985) 59% 3.5/4 EDIT “Its cleverness will be appreciated by adults while its wonderful story and fantastical glow are bound to keep children engrossed.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 19, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 49% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's so contrived it reeks. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer May 27, 2025 Full Review The Karate Kid (1984) 81% 3/4 EDIT “The kind of movie fit for the whole family. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer May 27, 2025 Full Review Fandango (1985) 70% EDIT “Though Judd Nelson comes off more pompous than he needs to be, Kevin Costner is terrific.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer May 19, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% 3/4 EDIT “"Starman" delivers its message without undue pyrotechnics or excessive pontificating. Those things alone make it a winner.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer May 13, 2025 Full Review C.H.U.D. (1984) 43% EDIT “What's so entertaining about "C.H.U.D." is that it mixes satire of those cold-blooded establishment types who run the EPA and Nuclear Regulatory Commission and genuine old-times scares.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer May 11, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 84% 2/4 EDIT “The ideas in this movie are often funnier than their execution. Both Grant and McGann are enormously appealing actors but only rarely do you get the feeling that there's a powerful bond between them.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Any director who wants to make a movie about contemporary teen-agers should be forced to go to John Hughes' movies. They address the subject with humor, sensitivity and a great sense of humor.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “An amazing, bravura piece of film-making from the surreal mind of writer-director David Lynch.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Never Say Never Again (1983) 71% EDIT “Essentially, it's a remake of the less successful Thunderball, also with Connery. but Never Say Never Again, in the original Bond spirit, concentrates on the people rather than the gadgets -- at least for the first half.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review
