A few more classics to wrap-up....
They Live
(A covert alien takeover of Planet Earth has largely gone unnoticed by the masses. Only a small group of people have come to realize the human race is being deliberately kept under a dream-like mindless consumerist state by these aliens who take human form and have subverted the television and radio airwaves to keep humans dumb. When a pair of monochrome glasses are discovered, a job-seeking city drifter can see the aliens, and see the subliminal messages they have placed all around gone unnoticed by the masses. Desperate to find where these glasses came from, and who may have more of these glasses who also may be aware, he tries his best to form a posse of like-minded individuals to alert the human population and prevent the final takeover of the planet, 1988)
War Games
(A young teenaged hacker finds a backdoor that leads to the United States Air Force Strategic Missile Wing which has control over NORAD. Unaware that he has access to nuclear launch control centers and this is not some kind of online game he hacked into, he proceeds to send false alarms of Soviet attacks directed at major American cities which force the US military to escalate the DEFCON level while trying to defuse tensions between Russia. The teenager has little knowledge of what he has done and just how many powerful people he has pissed off around the world, 1983)
The Wild Bunch
(After an unsuccessful robbery, an aging group of outlaws look for one last big score as the traditional American West is disappearing around them. When they head down to Mexico the group finds they have a lot of other problems to deal with and get themselves stuck in the middle of a war while trying to seek more lucrative opportunities, 1969)
Rio Bravo
(A small-town sheriff in the American West enlists the help of a disabled man, a drunk, and a young gunfighter in his efforts to hold in jail the brother of a criminal kingpin. The kingpin hires a posse to take them out and free his brother in the meantime, 1959)
Beast With A Gun
(Dangerous criminal Nanni Vitali escapes and Italian prison with four accomplices. He and his henchmen terrorize the populace and seek revenge against those responsible for Vitali's incarceration. Commissioner Santini, son of the prosecutor who had sentenced Vitali, tries desperately to stop them, 1977)
