Home Video and Blockbuster Era Movies I've Watched (including my mini-reviews)
What I've watched since 2015, including my mini-reviews in the comments of every list item.
What will you find in this list? Movies, direct-to-video movies, TV movies and feature-length pilot episodes for un-commissioned TV series. This list has ended up being mostly genre B-movies with a few mainstream Hollywood movies. Almost every list item is the first time I've seen it.
What dates/eras does it span? From the proto-blockbusters of the late 60's, via the home video era to the last few 80's style movies made around the turn of the Millennium.
Although mostly in chronological order of watch date, I keep sequels grouped together. Even those sequels beyond the scope of this list because I'm thorough.

Quirky hidden gem. I enjoyed this free-wheeling misadventure.
I originally saw most of it on TV years ago and wanted to watch it properly. - RegisseurJohn BoormanFilmstarsJon VoightBurt ReynoldsNed BeattyIn der Absicht, den Cahulawassee River noch einmal zu sehen, bevor dieser in einen riesigen See verwandelt wird, nimmt Outdoor-Fanatiker Lewis Medlock seine Freunde mit auf eine River-Rafting-Tour durch die gefährliche amerikanische Wildnis, die sie nie vergessen werden.10/10/15
More serious than it needed to be. Great cast including Burt Reynolds. Origin of those 'killer hillbilly' movies. - RegisseurSam PeckinpahFilmstarsKris KristoffersonAli MacGrawErnest BorgnineTrucker bilden einen kilometerlangen "Konvoi" zur Unterstützung der Vendetta eines Truckers mit einem missbrauchenden Sheriff....Basierend auf dem gleichnamigen Country-Song von C.W. McCall.17/10/15
I caught a the first few mins. on TV late on night and wanted to watch it properly.
This is great fun! A 70's, freedom loving, American road movie. - RegisseurStuart GordonFilmstarsGary GrahamAnne-Marie JohnsonPaul KosloIn the distant future, mankind has forsaken global wars for battles of single combat. The world has been divided into two opposing super powers, with each side represented by trained champions.24/10/15
Cheesy 80's sci-fi action with fighting robots in this Italian B-movie. - RegisseurAlbert BandFilmstarsDon Michael PaulBarbara CramptonJames StaleyA renegade Megarobot pilot and an archaeologist must team up to thwart the Centro's attempts to resurrect a hidden Megarobot, with which they can challenge the prevailing order.17/11/17
A sci-fi B-movie sequel to 'Robot Jox' (1989), again by Charles Band's production company. It took me a long time to discover that this sequel existed. This one was produced by Charles Band and directed by his father, Albert. The robot effects are stop-motion models and minitures. They look dated, but I like how they look, and the whole movie looks fairly good for an early 90's B-movie. But there's only one big robot fight in the movie. And not enough action to compensate for the disjointed, incoherent plotlines. Overall, has some entertainment value, but not as much as the first one. - RegisseurWes CravenFilmstarsSusan LanierRobert HoustonJohn SteadmanAuf dem Weg nach Kalifornien hat eine Familie das Pech, dass ihr Auto in einem Gebiet, das für die Öffentlichkeit gesperrt und von gewalttätigen Wilden bewohnt ist, die zum Angriff bereit sind, eine Panne hat.30/10/15
Low-ish budet 70's horror classic. Worth watching if you like the 2006 remake. - RegisseurWes CravenFilmstarsRobert HoustonDavid NicholsVirginia VincentA group of bikers, heading to a race, become stranded in the desert and find themselves fighting off a family of inbred cannibals who live off the land.31/10/15
Not as good as the first. - RegisseurClive BarkerFilmstarsAndrew RobinsonClare HigginsAshley LaurenceEine untreue Frau begegnet dem Zombie ihres toten Liebhabers; die dämonischen "Zenobiten" verfolgen ihn, nachdem er ihrer sadomasochistischen Unterwelt entkommen ist.01/11/15
Unique and memorable. One of the best horror films ever. Dated make-up and special effects have taken away the shock value, but you won't care because the story is so original. - RegisseurTony RandelFilmstarsDoug BradleyAshley LaurenceClare HigginsKirsty wird nach dem Tod ihrer Familie in eine psychiatrische Klinik gebracht, dessen okkult-besessener Leiter Julia wieder auferstehen lässt und so die Zenobiten entfesselt.06/11/15
Definitely watch this sequal if you want more of the original. Made by the same people as the first one. - RegisseurAnthony HickoxFilmstarsTerry FarrellDoug BradleyKevin BernhardtEin investigativer Reporter muss den ungebundenen Pinhead und seine Legionen zurück in die Hölle schicken.07/11/15
Not made by the same people. Only watch if you're a fan of the first two. - RegisseurKevin YagherFilmstarsBruce RamsayValentina VargasDoug BradleyIm 22. Jahrhundert versucht ein Wissenschaftler, das Unrecht zu berichtigen, das sein Vorfahre geschaffen hat: die Puzzlebox, die die Tore der Hölle öffnet und Pinhead und seine Cenobiten-Legionen entfesselt.08/11/15
Deeply flawed and not made by the same people. It fills in gaps in the history. Make this the last one you watch. - RegisseurScott DerricksonFilmstarsCraig ShefferNicholas TurturroJames RemarA shady police detective becomes embroiled in a strange world of murder, sadism and madness after being assigned a murder investigation against a madman known only as "The Engineer".13/11/15
Avoid. - RegisseurRick BotaFilmstarsDean WintersAshley LaurenceDoug BradleyAfter a car crash, a shady stockbroker suffers from amnesia. This leaves him in a hazy limbo of sex and murder. But, as in a predestined journey, he takes the bait and follows the marked-out clues all the way to Pinhead.14/11/15
Avoid. - RegisseurRick BotaFilmstarsStelian UrianKatheryn WinnickAnna TolputtGamers playing a MMORPG based on the "Hellraiser" films find their lives endangered after being invited to a rave, the host of which intends to show them the truth behind the Cenobite mythos.15/11/15

Avoid. - RegisseurVíctor GarciaFilmstarsJolene AndersenSteven BrandDan BuranZwei Freunde entdecken in Mexiko eine Rätselschachtel, die den Zenobiten Pinhead freisetzt.21/11/15
The worst one yet. Avoid. - RegisseurGary J. TunnicliffeFilmstarsDamon CarneyRandy WayneAlexandra HarrisDetectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiraling maze of horror that may not be of this world.22/11/20
Direct-to-video Hellraiser sequel by Gary J. Tunnicliffe and with another new actor in the Pinhead role. I expected to dislike this but was surprised how enjoyable it turned out to be. The first quarter was excessively gross and gory though. After that it becomes a better detective story with a premise similar to Se7en (1995) and with a good plot-twist at the end. Overall better than I expected. - RegisseurSam FirstenbergFilmstarsMichael DudikoffSteve JamesJudie AronsonDer amerikanische Soldat, offensichtlich sehr erfahren in Kampfkünsten, nimmt es im Alleingang mit Söldnern auf den Philippinen auf.Unlike the rest of the list, this one is out of order! I watched it after The Hills Have Eyes Part II and before Hellraiser. I wasn't as organised early on!

American Ninja is an upper-end martial-arts B-movie. Lots of action. Not bad. - RegisseurSam FirstenbergFilmstarsMichael DudikoffSteve JamesLarry PoindexterAuf einer abgelegenen karibischen Insel untersucht Army Ranger Joe Armstrong das Verschwinden mehrerer Marinesoldaten, was ihn zu The Lion führt, einem Superkriminellen, der einen lokalen Wissenschaftler entführt und eine Armee von mutierten Ninja-Kriegern in Massenproduktion produziert hat.05/12/15

Not as good as it could have been. Does have some unexpected Mad Max inspired elements. - RegisseurBob BralverFilmstarsDavid BradleyLee ReyesAnne DupontAls die Tochter eines Wissenschaftlers entführt wird, macht sich American Ninja auf sie zu finden.13/12/15
Intended to be a different, family friendly ninja movie, this had the American Ninja name slapped on it. Pretty awful. - RegisseurMichael WinnerFilmstarsCharles BronsonHope LangeVincent GardeniaEin New Yorker Architekt wird zu einem Ein-Mann-Volksjustizkommando, nachdem seine Frau von Straßenpunkern ermordet wurde, in denen er nach dem Zufallsprinzip ausgeht und Möchtegern-Räuber auf den gemeinen Straßen im Dunkeln tötet.16/01/16

As above, not a bad sequel. - RegisseurMichael WinnerFilmstarsCharles BronsonDeborah RaffinEd LauterDer Architekt und Bürgerwehrmann Paul Kersey kehrt nach New York zurück und wird von einem korrupten Polizeichef zwangsrekrutiert, um die Straßenkriminalität einer großen Bande zu bekämpfen, die die Viertel terrorisiert.23/01/16
A guilty pleasure movie! So bad it's good. Lots of cheesy 80's action. A must watch for cheesy 80's B movie fans.
Watched it before, would would it again.
