	Razor's Edge Bill Murray gives a great dramatic performance in this story of a man's search for the meaning of life. Based on William Somerset Maugham's novel.
	Star Wars This is the all-time favorite movie for many people. Absolutely blew everybody away in 1977 and completely changed the movie business. First movie of the Star Wars Trilogy which includes The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
	Real Genius This is a great comedy movie. Val Kilmer gives a wonderful performance as Chris Knight a genius college student who must, with the help of his smart but nerdy friends, stop a professor misusing his invention.
	Contact Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey are great in this sci-fi movie about receiving messages from space. This movie is based on the Carl Sagan novel.
	Back to the Future Forget about the arguments of time travel. This movie is just fun and it's character portrayed by Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd are great. The two sequels were also very good.
	TRON Kevin Flynn is trying to prove that computer games he created were stolen by another programmer. He is pulled from the real world and held inside the company's massive computer system. This is the first movie,1982, that used CGI (Computer Graphic Imagery) for most of it's scenery.
	Wallace & Gromit This classic claymation movie series from Nick Park and is brilliant down to the last detail. Wallace is a quiet & eccentric British inventor and Gromit is his faithful dog who keeps him out of trouble. If you've never seen a Wallace & Grommit movie then find out what your missing.

Edison, the Man Spencer Tracy gives a classic performance as the great inventor Thomas Edison. This movie was released in 1944. Earlier in the year a 'companion' movie was released by the same studio starring Mickey Rooney called Young Tom Edison. Even though these movie embellesh as all biographical movie tend to do. Both are fine movies and portray a fairly accurate historical perspective of this great man.
Wargames Maybe the best 'computer' movie. Matthew Broderick play David Lightman wants to play computer games and ends up trying to stop World War III.
You've Got Mail Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are together again in the love story about people who meet over the Internet. Parker Posey, Greg Kinnear, and the other supporting cast are great in their supporting roles. Actually makes you think it would be nice to live in New York City. ;)
Brainstorm What about a VCR for the brain? That is the premise of this 1983 sci-fi movie about an invention which can record thoughts, memories, feelings, and experiences of a person and play it back for others. This is thoughtful movie about how a wonderful invention can be used and misused.
CaddyShack Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Rodney Dangerfield are great in this comedy about life at the Bushwood Golf Country Club.
Pirates of Silicon Valley. This fairly accurate movie covers the beginning of personal computers in the mid-70's and through the 1980's. Noah Wyle and Anthony Michael Hall give great performances as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Joey Slotnick really shines through as Steve Wozniak, the genius creator of the Apple I & II computers.
Nothing in Common Tom Hanks stars as a successful advertising director who must confront the problems of his father, Jackie Gleason.
