THE DANMAN CAN

A gorgeous gothic fairy tale full of tragedy and malaise. Recommended for fans of  The Reflecting Skin  (1990) [ review ],  Picnic At Hanging Rock    (1975) [ review ], and  Nosferatu The Vampyre  (1979) [ review ].

Nostalgia can be a four letter word, but this movie is intrinsically wrapped up in my childhood. The Transformers: The Movie (1986) is a schizophrenic mess of a film, but one that, if it hit at the right time in your life, will always be meaningful, fun, and transformative (sorry, had to). The animation is gorgeous, the soundtrack (and score ) kicks ass, and the assemblage of voice actors is impressive. Happy 40th to The Movie and  R.I.P. Peter Cullen . Remember: you got The Touch and you can win if you Dare !
