Tron (1982) is more than a film about computers — it’s a fable about belief, humanity, and home. Beneath the glow of the Grid beats a story as old as faith itself, where men and their creations search for connection in a world made of light.

Krull (1983) shines as a forgotten jewel of 1980s fantasy cinema. A tale of love, prophecy, and courage against a mysterious immense enemy . With echoes of mythic prose, it weaves adventure, tragedy, and timeless wonder into a single dream. Though dismissed in its day, Krull endures as a poetic testament to the age when fantasy dared to believe in magic.

Troma Entertainment’s 1985 The Toxic Avenger exploded onto the grindhouse scene with equal parts blood, guts, and black comedy. What starts as a nerd’s tragic fall into toxic sludge mutates into a savage yet hilarious revenge spree against bullies, crooks, and corrupt cops. This low-budget splatterfest became a cult legend by daring to mix absurd humor with over-the-top violence, making it the radioactive godfather of superhero satire and the cornerstone of Troma’s trash-cinema empire.
