Dune (1984)
Best sci fi film in existence.
It is a classic battle between good and evil. This film does not shove the science or technojargon in your face (i.e. Star Trek). It integrates the technology into the background and brings the story forward which is rich in details. The story itself was thought out well to give it a life of its own. The thoughts of the characters can be heard as well to bring out the full effect of the story, and the characters. This film makes you think, and it is for this reason I think the critics seem to hate it. It would seem a lot of people don't like to think about their entertainment, and at first viewing you come away not fully understanding what you saw. But each time you see it, you begin to appreciate the full scope of the Dune universe.
The Last Ninja (1983)
Best film involving ninjas as characters.
I have seen a few ninja films. Some were o.k., and others were downright awful. The legend of the ninja in most films was not portrayed very well. It would seem most directors wanted a lot of action in the film and played on the audience's ignorance. This film seems to do a little better than that. I have read a little on the history and techniques of the ninja, and even though this movie is dramatized, it seems to do well by the ninja. It makes the art of ninjistu, not only entertaining, but lets you see the awesome skill of its practitioners.
