I'm so glad you covered Brainstorm. I watched it when it came out, then drove back to the theatre two days later to watch it again. Like you say, it was a sci-fi movie for grown ups. I highly recommend it. The only other movie of that period that comes close is Altered States.

Brainstorm AND Night Of The Comet!!! Two Movies I wouldn't hesitate to watch again, even though I couldn't tell you how many times I've already seen them both.

I remember Alex Cox's Repo Man very fondly, although I only watched it once on TV. I'm not sure it makes much sense, but I remember it being quite surreal and fascinating to watch. Whilst I probably watch his Sid and Nancy film once upon a time, I mostly remember him from BBC 2's Moviedrome, where he introduced many interesting, mostly non-English language films from the BBC's "library". I don't remember many of the films, although I'm sure I watched many films I would never have done otherwise. This is one thing I really miss from the 1980s and 1990s when TV could introduce you to something completely new with an interesting intro from a film maker and fan to set the scene.

Mary Woronov is never boring. She was in an episode of Wings and she was awesome as usual.

True. She always seemed to be having fun, too.

I recently rewatched this with my wife and was afraid it wouldn't hold up. Glad I was mistaken! The screenwriter was an experienced pro and well-respected in the industry. This is a movie much better than it had any right to be, thanks in no small part to the script and dialogue. "The car didn't care." "I love working with children!" "TV is real. TV is very real!" Just off the top of my head.

Mary Wornov and Paul Bartel also reprise their roles as Mr and Mrs Bland briefly in the movie, "Chopping Mall," for some reason

I share the love of Brainstorm. Saw it at the Empire Leicester Square when it first came out, and it blew me away

'Night of the Comet' has always been a favorite of mine! (Sam was the inspiration for Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, as I'm sure you know!) While we are on the subject of Honorable Mentions... I'd like to make a case for 'Repo Man' (the quintessential 89's flic!) 'Return of the Living Dead' (1st Zombie/Comedy!) 'When the Wind Blows', 'Final Count Down', 'Saturn 3' & though it came out in 90... 'Frankenstein Unbound' (I had to add something by Aldiss!) & as for your Marquee thumbnail... 'The Stuff' is worth a look! Sort of 'Special Delivery' meets an indictment of 80's Over Consumerism!

I love Night of the Comet, and since Kelli Maroney's performance was so good, it inspired me to watch Chopping Mall (which has sci-fi elements with robots gone beserk).

I really must watch Brainstorm again. I haven't seen it since the late 80's. I shall drink some beer and eat popcorn too!

Great video. Thanks. "Brainstorm" is a summary of what true science fiction should be. An idea about a non-existent concept taken realistically to its full consequences. The cast's performance is absolutely memorable, and Douglas Trumbull's grandiloquence and intelligence is in every corner of the film. James Horner's score is a kind of tone full of class and haunting. There are so many subtleties and intricate meanings that the film reminds me of an era of more educated audiences. Few people, for example, notice an image of the climax, taken directly from an engraving by Gustave Doré of Dante's "Paradise". Too bad the film is remembered more today for the passing of Nathalie Wood than for its value. On almost the same note, "Death Watch" has a manic depressive note related to every final project in Romy Schneider's career. An interesting movie indeed.

Great picks again, Terry. And, to echo Joel below, "Brainstorm" is grown up. Probably a little too grown-up for me when I caught it at an early age. I remember Louise Fletcher's final scene upsetting me greatly. I wasn't scared by it as much as shaken. It was existentially terrifying, made incredibly real by a talented actress who demonstrated total commitment to the role. It's taken years to work up the courage to watch it again. But, I know that this movie was one that drove my love of hard scifi.

Two of my very favorite movies there. Brainstorm is simply amazing on so many levels even considering what it could have been with the hyper-realistic ShowScan process. Ground breaking! I've always liked Night of the Comet because I was already quite familiar with the female leads from the soap operas of the time. Kelli Maroney was featured in All My Children and Katherine Mary Stewart on Days of Our Lives. Her manager at the theater was also from DOOL. I felt like I knew these people already. I didn't know Robert Beltran until Star Trek: Voyager launched years later. I also enjoyed seeing Mary Woronov who I already knew from TerrorVision and Eating Raoul.

My favorite Cliff Robertson performance was in the science fiction movie _Charly_ (1968). He plays a mentally challenged man who has his intellect greatly increased via a medical procedure. It is based on the short story (and later novel) _Flowers for Algernon_ by Daniel Keyes.

His near-last film, Lucky, is also worth seeing. It's a good tribute to him.

Brainstorm was an extremely mature approach to science fiction. A strong science fiction element, strong characters with empathy for one another and of course a bad guy who in this case was corporate faceless machines also known as the military. And I believe the reason this movie was a box office failure is due to the tragic death of Natalie Wood. I know people - and they don't want to be reminded of it of anything bad. At that time she was well known for previous work and this was her big comeback. Seeing her would just be too much of a bummer - so the movie failed. The b-52's 5th album suffered from the same problem when guitarist Ricky Wilson died immediately prior to its release. Nobody wanted to buy the album because it was just a painful reminder of the loss.

Love, love, love Brainstorm. Aside from some poor comedy toward the end he film is fascinating and though the end ideas disappointed me I loved Natalie Wood in this. She gets better as the movie gies along. Louise was great in this too. James Horner’s score is beautiful. We saw this on a 70mm screen back when it came out The opening credits looked very 3d as they appeared to bulge out of the screen!

I really liked Brainstorm! It seemed plausible especially when you saw the technology evolve from clunky prototype to a sleek consumer product. Something similar to probably what Apple was going through in their transition from the apple 2e to the first Mac at the time. The technology seemed outlandish to me when I saw it back in 83, but now not so much. I recently saw a news story on how scientists have mapped the specific area of the brain that activates during PTSD flashbacks using a MRI scan. They're hoping to see if they can use drugs or tech to control it to lessen the severity of the trauma. Now imagine if they could do the same for senses and even emotions. Maybe you couldn't see the experience like in the movie, but instead would feel it and experience the emotions. Very interesting stuff!

I noticed a couple of things in your great video: the keyboard shown in a still for 'Brainstorm', looks suspiciously like the keyboard used in 1977's 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' - Douglas Trumbull was the SFX director of that movie, so the prop might be his. Secondly, in the 'Deathwatch' segment, you show a still of an office. On the wall is a poster for the 1963 Ray Milland starring movie, 'X - The Man With X-Ray Eyes'. With the subject matter of 'Deathwatch' in mind, I wonder if this was deliberate? Knowing how precise Bertrand Tavernier was, (he died in March this year), I'd say that it was. A proto 'Easter Egg', perhaps? Another in the 'Xtro' (No, me neither.) segment. The sign reading 'WALTER GOTELL LTD' made me smile. Walter Gotell was a great character actor, often playing Russian Generals in the James Bond movies. He was a favourite actor of mine.

I've always felt that XTRO was a subversion of ET and all of those sci-fi movies that affirm humanity to be some extra special species with superior values. It's clear the father in that movie no longer regards his fellow humans as equals except for his own son, whom he feels compelled to transform into an alien. In an inferior movie, the film would end with the father rejecting his alien form and choosing to be human again thanks his family's love or some crap. XTRO was having none of that. Night Of The Comet in turn, seemed like a subversion of horror/slasher movies where the slutty girls are the first to get murdered and the pure, virginal ones are the ones to survive. Other than the fact that the surviving girls are sisters who just happened to avoid the effects of the comet in two separate locations (what a coincidence!), the movie does a good job of making us feel that the survivors were just random people who happened to be at the right place at the right time. The surviving sisters also seemed less like contrived characters created to fulfill some audience fantasy and more like characters in their own right, who didn't conform to anyone's stereotypical idea of what spoiled, upper class girls should be like. This helped to make a scenario that made you feel that anything could happen, because you weren't sure what the girls were (and weren't) capable of doing. An underrated gem that plays with the typical horror movie formulas.
