Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971)
For as baffling and dumb as it gets, "Godzilla vs. Hedorah's" psychedelic nature is quite entertaining and makes for a great "so-bad-it's good" movie.
First time viewing:
Pumpkinhead (1988)
Stan Winston's directorial work is nowhere near the excellent quality of his effect work, but "Pumpkinhead" is still an enjoyable experience thanks to it's imaginative imagery and a fully committed Lance Henriksen performance.

Inu-Oh (2021)

-Of Mice and Men (1939)
First time viewing:

"Universal justice, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a murder for a murder."
