TNL Movie Club Hall of Fame- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
I’m willing to bet that due to my reputation, you’d expect a horror flick to be my pick for Season Two. Hate to disappoint, but here it is.

Buckaroo Banzai. I remember first seeing this when I was younger and loving it. Now, here I am, a month away from 30 and I still love it. The writing is great, the characters are awesome, and the performances are good(Lithgow especially). It’s just a fun sci-fi film. Here’s a synopsis:
Quote:
"The very oddest good movie in many a full moon" Buckaroo Banzai combines "humor imagination a little oriental mysticism and a passel of sharp performances [into] very chic sci-fi" (Time)! Oscar nominees Peter Weller and John Lithgow team with Emmy® winners Ellen Barkin and Christopher Lloyd for a fiendishly clever action-packed adventure in an outlandish world you'll want to visit again and again! Brilliant brain surgeon Banzai (Weller) just made scientific history. Shifting his Oscillation Overthruster into warp speed he's the first man ever to travel to the Eighth Dimension and come back sane! But when his sworn enemy the demented Dr. Lizardo (Lithgow) devises a plot to steal the Overthruster and bring an evil army of aliens back to destroy Earth Buckaroo goes cranium to cranium with the madman in an extra-dimensional battle that could result in total annihilation of the universe!
Hey, any movie where Peter Weller plays a physicist, neurosurgeon, Samurai, rock musician, Jet Car driver comic book hero can’t be bad.
Enjoy.
