[Kalo]

Also, I'm thinking Anne of Avonlea doesn't count becuase technically, it is a tv Mini Series? 

[Kalo]

btw little unknown film, about gay love in edwardian era Europe, Starring, James Wilby, Rupert Graves, and Hugh Grant no less.

Just watched Near Dark, slow, but really good, am I crazy to think it may have been part of the inspiration for Stephenie Meyer's Twilight? 

 

It doesn't really seem like her cup of tea (IMO).

It needs to have a theatrical release.

Pretty sure the inspiration for Twilight was Harry Potter and Anne Rice.

Yeah, no theatrical distribution for that film, shame cause it would be my #1 if it could count.

It was apparently given a tiny theatrical release, so I can imagine the actual numbers might be hard to fine, I'd imagine.

 

 

That film is entertaining. Can't say it'll be on my list, but Simmons is definitely with the best villain deaths of 80's action films.

 

Raw wasnt given a small theatrical release. I saw it in London Canada. Population  250,000 at the time. And its still the highest grossing stand up comedy of all time. 50 mill in 87 is more than 100 today.

I was referring to the post regarding The Brave Little's Toaster's box office gross. I know Raw was hugely successful for a comedy concert.

1987 was such a great year for film. Going to get a list in for. Will need to watch & rewatch some films before making my list.

2. RoboCop
3. Lethal Weapon
4. Angel Heart
5. Near Dark
6. The Untouchables
7. The Running Man
