Stargate (1994)

The most remarkable thing about this sci-fi about a Robert Langton code-breaking Egyptologist who with a military team crosses the universe via an Einstein-Rosen bridge only to experience trouble returning home is that it spawned multiple television series and computer games despite being so dreadfully, dreadfully boring.

Bad Influence (1990)

This 80s Fight Club has a baby-faced Rob Lowe playing a wet sort of a Tyler Durden whose (not very convincing) bravura in a bar fight and way with women (doing 'out there' stuff like buying them drinks and dancing with them and stuff) works a Rasputin-like spell over James Spader's The Narrator, who ditches his corporate life of double-breasted suits, ProDOS computers, and suitcase mobile phones for an anarchic Clyde-and-Clyde lifestyle of grubby three-person sex, convenience-store theft....and murder!
