A Case of Deadly Force (1986)

A Time to Triumph (1986)

96 mins     Drama, TV Movie

A Winner Never Quits (1986)

105 mins     Biography, Drama, Sport, TV Movie      

I don't think it needs me to say it but "A Winner Never Quits" is two things; firstly a biopic and secondly an inspirational movie. Now I must admit I had never heard of Pete Gray before stumbling across "A Winner Never Quits...

About Last Night... (1986)

113 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

"About Last Night..." may now be 25 years old but it is as good to watch now as it was back in the 80s. Why it's still so good to watch is that whilst it goes from humour to romance and on to drama before returning to humour ...

Aliens (1986)

137 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

As a sequel to the already impressive "Alien", James Cameron's "Aliens" is an extraordinary movie which is as good if not better than its predecessor. What makes it extraordinary is the fact that whilst it is an action movie ...

An American Tail (1986)

80 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

As a child I fell in love with "An American Tail" and remember driving people crazy with my constant replaying of Fievel and Tanya singing "Somewhere Out There". It wasn't just the song I enjoyed as the whole storyline about ...

As Summers Die (1986)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie

Betrayed by Innocence (1986)

94 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

The first half of "Betrayed by Innocence" feels like it belongs to a Harlequin movie as we watch Nick who is in an unhappy marriage finding love with a young woman who makes him feel young again. It even has that sort of roma...

Beverly Hills Madam (1986)

97 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Let me take you back in time to the mid 80s where not only did the size of a woman's shoulder pads seem to signal their status in the world but so did the size of the rock they had weighing heavy on their hands. It is one of ...

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

99 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

I am probably in the minority when it comes to John Carpenter's "Big Trouble in Little China" because whilst it's entertaining with its rollercoaster ride of action, adventure and comedy I also find it a little dull. The trou...

Biggles (1986)

108 mins     Adventure , Family, Sci-Fi      

I can kind of remember when "Biggles" came out because during the build up there was excitement over the movie adaptation of a boys own hero and when it came out many were hugely disappointed by it all. I never got to watch i...

Child's Cry (1986)

100 mins     Drama, Thriller, TV Movie      

"Child's Cry" is one mixed bag of a movie as for everything which is good there is something which is not so much bad but just not as good. It makes it strangely fascinating because you are never sure as to what you are going...
