Eric Zane of The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show has never seen "Poltergeist" & I have a friend who has never seen any of the "Back To The Future" movies. Me... Well I am a Real American Movie Critic, however I must confess, I have never seen "Deliverance."

I am one of the three "Real American Movie Critics."

There are a lot of movies out there to watch, some are worth the time, others are not even worth $10 bucks. That is why I am here, to let you know what classic movie you're missing out on.

1. Harvey

This one is a real classic starring Jimmy Stewart, it is referenced and parodied often, because he plays a guy who's best friend is a invisible rabbit.

2. A Street Car Named Desire 

Another film that is referenced and parodied a lot, however this is the film that made Marlon Brando. Forget "The Godfather" If you want to see why Marlon Brando is considered the greatest American Actor of all time, watch this.

3. Where the Buffalo Roam

Basically the prequel to "Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas" and this one brings up the debate of "Who Played hunter S Thompson better?" my vote goes to Bill Murray. In Johnny Depp's defense, he got to study Hunter in his later years while Bill Murray got to study Hunter in his prime. FUN FACT: If you watch "Caddyshack" after "Where the Buffalo Roam" you can so see that Bill Murray is still in Gonzo Mode.

4. Just One Of The Guys

When it comes to adolescent, high school themed 80's movies, some people are all about John Hughes. Some people say that it is all about "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." I am all about "Just One Of The Guys."

5. Girls Just Want To Have Fun

It is without a doubt, a chick flick. But it is so bad it's good! Sarah Jessica Parker is the good girl gone bad, because she just wants to dance. Helen Hunt is the bad girl who wears the most ridiculous 80's fashions and Shannen Doherty is the kid sidekick.

6. The Monster Squad

This one is considered to be "The Goonies" wanna-be. It is about a group of kids who take on Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy and the Create from the Black Lagoon.  This one is so 80's it hurts. It even has its own terrible 80's theme song.

7. White Water Summer

I have a strange memory of this one, because I kid, it terrified me. Was there ever a PG movie that scared you, because you were not exactly sure what was going on, but you knew enough to be scared of what was going on? This was mine.

8. The Gate

Despite the cheesy special effects, this was actually scary, when I was a kid. There is a scene with a dead dog that I can never erase from my mind. This is 1980's B Horror at its finest.

9. My Science Project 

Another cheesy 1980's classic! Where a group of teens open a portal that unleashes history's most dangerous.... things, on their high school. It features Dennis Hopper as a mad science teacher.

10. Krull

Forget about "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hunger Games." In fact forget everything about modern Science Fiction Fantasy movies, because you don't know EPIC until you have seen Krull.

In conclusion, this list loses its credibility as it goes on.
