Initially, it should have been rated R until they removed some of the “nonsense” from the movie (if you say there’s rubbish more than once in the movie, it’s an automatic R).

That’s probably enough weird and pointless out-of-date information for this review. Unlike Annie Given Sunday and Tremors, the Oliver Stone film came out on Christmas Eve 1999. None of those movies would crack the list, so this would be the oldest discussed film.

Internal Affairs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 and Ski Patrol were all released a week earlier. Released on 19 January 1990, it is only the fourth film to come out in the 1990s. It’s a movie that’s completely convincing in itself and it transports you to Perfection, Nevada with Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward and all you care about is killing these fucking sandworms. Borrowing but also improving upon the monster movies of the 1950s, Tremors focuses on a great premise, fun lead characters, and a wide-open setting. As with any Sunday that was overstuffed, Tremors is simple.
