Home Video and Blockbuster Era Movies I've Watched (including my mini-reviews)
What I've watched since 2015, including my mini-reviews in the comments of every list item.
What will you find in this list? Movies, direct-to-video movies, TV movies and feature-length pilot episodes for un-commissioned TV series. This list has ended up being mostly genre B-movies with a few mainstream Hollywood movies. Almost every list item is the first time I've seen it.
What dates/eras does it span? From the proto-blockbusters of the late 60's, via the home video era to the last few 80's style movies made around the turn of the Millennium.
Although mostly in chronological order of watch date, I keep sequels grouped together. Even those sequels beyond the scope of this list because I'm thorough.

Quirky hidden gem. I enjoyed this free-wheeling misadventure.
I originally saw most of it on TV years ago and wanted to watch it properly. - DirectorJohn BoormanEstrellasJon VoightBurt ReynoldsNed BeattyCon la intención de ver el río Cahulawassee antes de que sea embalsado y convertido en un lago, el fanático de las actividades al aire libre Lewis Medlock lleva a sus amigos a un viaje en canoa que nunca olvidarán.10/10/15
More serious than it needed to be. Great cast including Burt Reynolds. Origin of those 'killer hillbilly' movies. - DirectorSam PeckinpahEstrellasKris KristoffersonAli MacGrawErnest BorgnineLos camioneros forman un convoy de una milla de largo en apoyo de la venganza de un camionero contra un sheriff abusivo.17/10/15
I caught a the first few mins. on TV late on night and wanted to watch it properly.
This is great fun! A 70's, freedom loving, American road movie. - DirectorStuart GordonEstrellasGary GrahamAnne-Marie JohnsonPaul KosloEn un futuro lejano, la humanidad ha abandonado las guerras mundiales en favor de las batallas individuales. El mundo se ha dividido en dos superpotencias opuestas, cada una de ellas representada por campeones entrenados.24/10/15
Cheesy 80's sci-fi action with fighting robots in this Italian B-movie. - DirectorAlbert BandEstrellasDon Michael PaulBarbara CramptonJames StaleyUn piloto rebelde de Megarobot se une a una arqueóloga para impedir que Centro reactive un Megarobot oculto que podría alterar el orden establecido.17/11/17
A sci-fi B-movie sequel to 'Robot Jox' (1989), again by Charles Band's production company. It took me a long time to discover that this sequel existed. This one was produced by Charles Band and directed by his father, Albert. The robot effects are stop-motion models and minitures. They look dated, but I like how they look, and the whole movie looks fairly good for an early 90's B-movie. But there's only one big robot fight in the movie. And not enough action to compensate for the disjointed, incoherent plotlines. Overall, has some entertainment value, but not as much as the first one. - DirectorWes CravenEstrellasSusan LanierRobert HoustonJohn SteadmanDe camino a California, a una familia se le avería su coche en una zona cerrada al público y habitada por criaturas salvajes dispuestos a atacar.30/10/15
Low-ish budet 70's horror classic. Worth watching if you like the 2006 remake. - DirectorWes CravenEstrellasRobert HoustonDavid NicholsVirginia VincentUn grupo de motociclistas, que se dirige a una carrera, se queda varado en el desierto y se enfrenta a una familia de caníbales endogámicos que viven de la tierra.31/10/15
Not as good as the first. - DirectorClive BarkerEstrellasAndrew RobinsonClare HigginsAshley LaurenceUna mujer infiel se enfrenta al zombi de su difunto amante. Fuerzas demoniacas lo persiguen tras su fuga del inframundo sadomasoquista.01/11/15
Unique and memorable. One of the best horror films ever. Dated make-up and special effects have taken away the shock value, but you won't care because the story is so original. - DirectorTony RandelEstrellasDoug BradleyAshley LaurenceClare HigginsKirsty va a parar a un psiquiátrico tras la muerte de su familia, donde el líder obsesivo del ocultismo resucita a Julia y libera a los cenobitas de nuevo.06/11/15
Definitely watch this sequal if you want more of the original. Made by the same people as the first one. - DirectorAnthony HickoxEstrellasTerry FarrellDoug BradleyKevin BernhardtUn periodista de investigación debe enviar a Pinhead y sus legiones de regreso al infierno.07/11/15
Not made by the same people. Only watch if you're a fan of the first two. - DirectorKevin YagherEstrellasBruce RamsayValentina VargasDoug BradleyEn el siglo 22, un científico intenta corregir el error que su ancestro creó: la caja de rompecabezas que abre las puertas del infierno y desata a Pinhead y sus legiones cenobitas.08/11/15
Deeply flawed and not made by the same people. It fills in gaps in the history. Make this the last one you watch. - DirectorScott DerricksonEstrellasCraig ShefferNicholas TurturroJames RemarA shady police detective becomes embroiled in a strange world of murder, sadism and madness after being assigned a murder investigation against a madman known only as "The Engineer".13/11/15

Avoid. - DirectorVíctor GarciaEstrellasJolene AndersenSteven BrandDan BuranDos amigos descubren una caja de rompecabezas en México que da rienda suelta a la cenobita Pinhead.21/11/15
The worst one yet. Avoid. - DirectorGary J. TunnicliffeEstrellasDamon CarneyRandy WayneAlexandra HarrisDetectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiraling maze of horror that may not be of this world.22/11/20
Direct-to-video Hellraiser sequel by Gary J. Tunnicliffe and with another new actor in the Pinhead role. I expected to dislike this but was surprised how enjoyable it turned out to be. The first quarter was excessively gross and gory though. After that it becomes a better detective story with a premise similar to Se7en (1995) and with a good plot-twist at the end. Overall better than I expected. - DirectorSam FirstenbergEstrellasMichael DudikoffSteve JamesJudie AronsonUn soldado estadounidense muy hábil en artes marciales, se enfrenta a mercenarios en Filipinas.Unlike the rest of the list, this one is out of order! I watched it after The Hills Have Eyes Part II and before Hellraiser. I wasn't as organised early on!

American Ninja is an upper-end martial-arts B-movie. Lots of action. Not bad. - DirectorSam FirstenbergEstrellasMichael DudikoffSteve JamesLarry PoindexterEn una remota isla del Caribe, el Ranger del Ejército Joe Armstrong investiga la desaparición de varios marines.05/12/15
Unmemorable, but not bad sequel. - DirectorCedric SundstromEstrellasDavid BradleySteve JamesMarjoe GortnerA man newly trained in the martial arts must save his trainer from experimentation.6/12/15
Unmemorable. - DirectorCedric SundstromEstrellasMichael DudikoffDavid BradleyJames BoothThe two American Ninjas, Joe Armstrong and Sean Davidson, team up to do battle against a terrorist and his band of Ninjas.12/12/15
Not as good as it could have been. Does have some unexpected Mad Max inspired elements. - DirectorBob BralverEstrellasDavid BradleyLee ReyesAnne DupontWhen a scientists daughter is kidnapped, American Ninja (David Bradley), attempts to find her, but this time he teams up with a youngster he has trained in the ways of the ninja.13/12/15
Intended to be a different, family friendly ninja movie, this had the American Ninja name slapped on it. Pretty awful. - DirectorMichael WinnerEstrellasCharles BronsonHope LangeVincent GardeniaTras sufrir una brutal agresión su mujer y su hija, Paul Kersey, un ciudadano normal de Nueva York, decide vengarse acosando a todos los delincuentes de la ciudad que actúan por la noche.16/01/16
Really enjoyed this. Got it's dark moments, but the theme of fighting back is compelling. - DirectorMichael WinnerEstrellasCharles BronsonJill IrelandVincent GardeniaEl arquitecto Paul Kersey una vez más se convierte en un justiciero cuando intenta encontrar a los cinco punks callejeros que asesinaron a su hija y a su ama de llaves, esta vez en las oscuras calles de Los Ángeles.17/01/16
As above, not a bad sequel. - DirectorMichael WinnerEstrellasCharles BronsonDeborah RaffinEd LauterEl arquitecto y justiciero Paul Kersey regresa a la ciudad de Nueva York y es reclutado a la fuerza por un jefe de policía corrupto para luchar contra el crimen callejero, causado por una gran pandilla que aterroriza los vecindarios.23/01/16
A guilty pleasure movie! So bad it's good. Lots of cheesy 80's action. A must watch for cheesy 80's B movie fans.
Watched it before, would would it again.
