Didn’t know about the play.

Just opened last week starring Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad and Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black.

Wow.. I’d pay to see that

Wait till it's close to end of the run and it'll be cheap, dramas don't play long on Bwy these days, not like big musicals.

OK, I'm brainstorming and blegging. I'm getting some streaming movies together for my daughter for Christmas. She's a STEM college freshman in a very challenging program at a challenging college, and has a taste for 80s/90s comedy, horror, and cult favorites. I'm looking to drill deep for some good recommendations from the peanut gallery.

Other than the original Ghostbusters, all of the Back to the Future movies, Halloween, and A Fish Called Wanda, let me have it. I'm listing those as examples of what I'm looking for. She may already have seen what you have in mind, but I'm looking for all kinds of recommendations here.

So far I've got Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, and Slingblade for this year's stocking.

Lay it on me.

Drilling quite deep here, and I'm not sure if it fits what you want, but Condorman is a good cult classic. It's from '81, but most of the humor stands I would say.

The Captain. Loosely based on true events.

Just watched Bird Box (not by choice). Interesting concept, but very hard to suspend disbelief. Dumb plot, and all the bad guys are white.

Social justice has fully infected the thriller/horror genre.

Are you putting together a list of shit you like, or something she might like ?

OK, 80s/90s comedy, horror
Death Becomes Her
Little Shop of Horrors
Evil Dead
Creep Show
Gremlins
Fright Night
Beetle Juice
Lake Placid
and throw in Stalag 17...... no one remembers it, but its a Christmas flick and one of the most underrated movies in history. Has comedy and is a thriller all in one...……...Bill Holden can't be beat.

If we are going 80s now you have to include American Werewolf in London.
