The 1984 film

  • Awesome Music: The whole damn score, but especially the ending theme. What do you expect when you have Peter Gabriel as composer?
  • He Really Can Act: A retroactive example. Nicolas Cage was all of 20 years old when he starred in this film. There are none of the histrionics, wild takes, or hamming it up one would associate with his later work. He gives a restrained and extremely moving performance as a shell-shocked Vietnam veteran whose face has been covered in bandages after being horribly burned.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Again, the score by Peter Gabriel, a mosaic of song fragments from his third and fourth albums.
