Bing bing

The film's score was composed by Andrew Powell and produced by Alan Parsons. Richard Donner stated that he was listening to The Alan Parsons Project (on which Powell collaborated) while scouting for locations, and became unable to separate his visual ideas from the music.

[EDIT: I'll be gone starting in the early afternoon Saturday through late Sunday, so if nobody has it by then, someone else can post a new one and we'll go back to this one...]

Gremlins

Ghostbusters

Nope to both...

[Insert film name here] has a rating of 65% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 20 critics' reviews.[4]

Vincent Canby in The New York Times called the film "divided against itself," and went on to say that "scenes of high adventure or of visual splendor... are spliced between other scenes with dialogue of a banality that recalls the famous Tony Curtis line, 'Yondah lies my faddah's castle.'"[5] Time Out called it "all rather facile sword-and-sorcery stuff, of course, but at times very funny... and always beautifully photographed."[6] Variety described the film as a "very likeable, very well-made fairytale... worthwhile for its extremely authentic look alone."[7]

Robin Hood, Men in Tights? :p

Princess Bride.

Nope. Here's a softball:

Richard Donner had attempted to get the film financed for a number of years and came close to making it twice, once in England and once in Czechoslovakia. He eventually got the project up at Warners and Fox, where it was green-lit by Alan Ladd, Jr. Originally, Kurt Russell was cast as the male lead alongside Michelle Pfeiffer.

Forgot it was a Richard Donner movie.

Ladyhawke? I'm not sure it's a Richard Donner movie- I'm going off the co-star.

BING BING BING!

Kyle's turn!

Awesome! Here we go:

Crowe returns home, where he finds his wife asleep with their wedding video playing. While still asleep, Anna asks her husband why he left her, and drops Crowe's wedding ring, which he suddenly discovers he has not been wearing.

The Purge

The Sixth Sense

...opening narration redundantly informs the viewer that "future events such as these will affect you in the future", while referring to viewers as "my friends" four times in the same minute. Criswell also begins the narration by referring to future events, only to later describe them in the past tense ("... the full story of what happened on that fateful day"), and inexplicably calling for "the guilty" to be punished.

An Inconvenient Truth.

12 Monkeys?

No home video release has featured the film's original theatrical aspect ratio. [it] was composed and shot for the 1.85:1 aspect ratio theatrical projection, the predominant widescreen format. As unskilled a filmmaker as he was, [he] never intended for his film to be seen in a 1.33:1 open matte aspect ratio. This has led to various boom mics and edges of props, etc., being seen at the top and bottom of the image, which was always intended to be cropped, thus unfairly maligning the film yet further.

[He] hired his wife's chiropractor, Tom Mason, as a stand-in... even though Mason was taller... and bore no resemblance to him, making him one of the earliest "fake Shemps".

...The military soldiers' hats are slightly lopsided, the "cemetery" and graves are obviously made out of HDF wood, and the leader of the aliens wears a generic stage play "medieval soldier" uniform.

Plan 9 from Outer Space

Bing bing!
