I had to look them up. I had no idea that Ridley Scott had a little brother director. Looking at their work, neither one really grabs me. Except for True Romance by Tony Scott. That was a pretty great film, -at least I remember it as one. Gotta love Brad Pitt taking a back seat to Christian Slater.
Another movie from 1984 that stuck with me was Cloak & Dagger. Maybe it was because the roleplaying game in the beginning, or the video game tie-in. I loved that about E.T. It also had that Home Alone meets the Cold War feeling. Someone missed a real opportunity to have a rag-tag gang of kids fight Al Qaeda...
