This was the type of year that makes these lists so fun to do. There was no runaway winner, no obvious one at the outset, when the final scores appeared, less than 2% separates The 4th spot from the top spot, but Robo deserves to be there. This is one of those results that made me actually appreciate the movie more for discovering that it won. For every argument that The Princess Bride deserves it more, the same might be able to be said for No Way Out. I feel I cheated a certain movie to the bottom of the list, but there are scarcely few more movies that deserve the confines of Abaddon than Jaws: The Revenge. It's director Joseph Sergent also directed one of the movies that will appear, probably somewhere close to the top of the All-Time list, Colossus The Forbin Project, as will the original Jaws. The near perfection found in both of these makes this all the worse. Would this movie have been any dumber if the shark wore a Hawaiian shirt?
Anyway, I still recall us renting Robocop on VHS for the first time. Yup, that's how I first saw it.
