65. "The Final Countdown" (1980)

Well let's give it another try.

The last time we mixed World War II with a sci-fi thriller we got 1984's "The Philadelphia Experiment," kind of a misbegotten episode. It's safe to say we did better with tonight's "The Final Countdown," a 1980 popcorn pic that sees a modern aircraft carrier traveling back in time to Pearl Harbor. Lots of familiar faces in this one, and a plentitude of military equipment (so much so this movie actually served as a recruitment tool, a la "Top Gun").

Asides include Beavis & Butthead, Superfly, and a 1979 horror film based on the 'The call's coming from inside the house!' urban legend.
