: Alright, I'll admit it: I kinda liked Howard the Duck!!!!!!!! There ya happy!?!?!?!? Anyway, Tucker: A man and his dream was a cool movie! But in any eighties movie Christian slater looks like he's fifteen! In tucker he looked like he was fifteen, but two years later when he played on Young Guns he looked like his right age! And he was twenty years old when he did tucker! Anyway, Tucker kicked ass! I never seen Willow though 8-( I bet it rocks too. See ya, Shorty.

Tucker: The Man and his Dream is indeed a terrific film; another good Lucas/Coppola collaboration based on an actual individual is Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, although it’s not for all tastes. I also adore Labyrinth.

As far as Lucasfilm’s original creations go, American Graffiti is outstanding; ditto its unusual sequel, More American Graffiti, although it significantly departs in style, tone, and meaning from the original. Aside from these two, THx-1138 is probably my favorite other Lucasfilm, although technically it’s not a Lucasfilm production - just a Lucas film, since Lucasfilm Ltd. hadn’t yet formed when it was made.
