The Poseidon Adventure
Just minutes into the New Year, the S.S. Poseidon gets capsized by a tidal wave that was caused by an earthquake on the ocean floor. Now it's up to radical preacher Gene Hackman to lead his small flock to safety.
This has always been one of my favorite Gene Hackman roles as well as a favorite Irwin Allen film. Check it out and enjoy.
Rocky
Here's where it all started. On January 1, 1976 Apollo Creed offered a long shot fighter, Rocky Balboa, a chance at the title. Of course, those of you who made it through Christmas know where he ended up but it's still fun to go back to the beginning. Enjoy.
War Of The Planets
You spent Christmas with him, now Franco Nero is back to help you ring in the New Year. It's New Years Eve in the 21st century and mysterious green lights have taken two of Earths space stations and transported them to Mars.
Their goal is to brainwash the crews of the stations and conquer the Earth unless a small assault force can put an end to their evil plan.
This is Italian sci-fi from 1966. While the plot loses a little in translation, the special effects are pretty cool. Remember when they used to take the time to build miniature sets? You know, before computers came along and made it look worse cheaper and faster. Worth a look if you're a fan.
