Movie's You Might've Missed

Descriptions Via IMDB.com (and some mega-witty comments from me!)



In the near future, a police officer specializes in malfunctioning robots. When a robot turns out to have been programmed to kill, he begins to uncover a homicidal plot to create killer robots... and his son becomes a target.
*Robots were one of those "things of the future" everybody talked about constantly. A bunch of movies filled screens with just about every kind of robot imaginable. Runaway had killer robots; the "evil" side of technology....or something. Good movie!*


Charlie Harrison dreams of being a rock star and, with the help of friends and a gang of local toughs, he arranges a concert in his house for a big time record producer, or at least that is what Charlie thought he was arranging.
*This is one of those movies I watched after my parents went to bed with the volume so low I had to keep my ear next to the speaker to hear anything.  Haven't seen it in years but I remember it being funny as hell back then.*


Jonathan plays a game called Gotcha in which he hunts and is hunted by other students with paint guns. After a big win, he goes off for a vacation in France where he meets the sexy Sasha who says she is only interested in him because he is a virgin. She takes him with her to East Germany where they are separated and he has to escape back to the west on his own, all the while being trailed by East German spies. He arrives home only to find the game is still going on, and a canister of film is in his backpack. Then Sasha re-appears.
*One of those "how did I end up in this mess?" movies that were everywhere in the 80's.  Cool movie with a post-Nerds/pre-Top Gun Anthony Edwards.*


When Joey's dad dies Joey is starting to act strange. He's got psychic powers. He can talk to him on the phone! His red toy telephone! But what he doesn't know is that he is not talking to his dad. He is talking to an evil dummy and the evil dummy is starting to make Joey's world a living nightmare.
*Me and some friends saw this in the theaters and laughed all the way through due to how goofy it was.  Some liked it, others hated it.*


Stroker Ace, a champion NASCAR driver, is standing at the top of his career, but is getting fed up with having to do as he's told. In between rebelling against his sponsor (a fried chicken chain)'s promotion gimmicks (like making him dress up in giant chicken suit) he spends the rest of the movie trying to bed the buxom Pembrook.
*Everyone was big on Burt Reynolds after Smokey And The Bandit, and Loni Anderson from WKRP in Cincinnati, but I think this one bombed hard.  I always thought it was pretty funny though.*
