BLOW OUT (1981)

Dir. Brian De Palma

9.5

Travolta's best work by far. The best De Palma movie for me. The best example of his Hitchcockian voyeur sensibilities without it getting too creepy, like Body Double. Top notch example of the post-Watergate political landscape that peaked around this time.

ENDLESS LOVE (1981)

Dir. Franco Zeffirelli

2.5

Thank god it ended.

Seriously, that second half is unbearable.

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981)

Dir. John Landis

8/10

A+ after the first twenty minutes, which were sitcom quality. Once he gets into the hospital, it's a fantastic movie, the sublime combination of horror and comedy executed brilliantly.
