A time of novelty rave choons and when I took my first steps into a much larger world in film. 1992 was when I first discovered the legendary Psychotronic Video basement store in Camden Town. It was the most eye opening education into film since the heady times of Alex Cox's run presenting Moviedrome (1988) and Jonathan Ross' The Incredibly Strange Film Show (1988).
The conspicuous omission of Clint Eastwood's acclaimed western, Unforgiven is intentional since it has forever been ruined by my mates heckling it at the cinema; whinging about it being nothing like the Sergio Leone films. Same lot dragged me with them to watch the awful The Lover in the same year. Harrison Ford's suit and tie action hero movie Patriot Games was also a favourite; largely because of Sean Bean, but I've killed that film having seen it so many times on TV and James Horner's recycling of his Aliens soundtrack really irks me somewhat.
Also enjoyed: Juice, Batman Returns, Single White Female, California Man (AKA, Encino Man) and Poison Ivy at the time, but have never seen them ever since. No idea how any of them hold up today. After revisiting Deep Cover, Fortress and Romper Stomper this year, I was surprised by how well they had aged. What have aged like terrible CGI are: Wayne's World, The Lawnmower Man and Sleepwalkers. The latter is especially tragic as this humble blogger was utterly smitten with Twin Peaks actress Mädchen Amick back in the day.
