The Year: 1984The Players: Um yeah. No one.
The Take: $29 Million
What's a Starfighter?: Starfighter is a fictional video game (Atari was going to make this game for real but ended up releasing it as Star Raiders 2) that the hero played in the movie. When beating the game, he was recruited into an intergalactic army to fly a Gunstar, the ship simulated by the game.
Why you should see it: To justify all those video games you play. Maybe someday you will save the galaxy. Actually, the hero, Alex Rogan, lives in a mobile home park full of hilarious folk including Shotgun Granny. The final battle is pretty unbelievable since it is Alex alone versus an armada... but I guess that's what he trained for. Just don't get in the way of his "Death Blossom."

Man I love this movie...only later did i realize that the dude who played Alex Rogan also played young Clark in the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve.
Great blog by the way! I stumbled onto it today...I'm now a subscriber.
Woah! I thought I had seen that kid before, but I just couldn't place him. Thanks for pointing that out.
