1986

I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but this was another great year for sci/fan/hor. David Cronenberg remade The Fly, James Cameron remade Alien (and sneakily added an s on the end) and John Carpenter made his last great movie. We also got to meet the lovable Johnny 5, though I still don't know why Ally Sheedy thought he was an alien and not a robot. But never mind. Oh, and how could I forget the great Highlander, with a Scotsman playing a Spaniard and Frenchman playing a Scot?
