Total Recall (Paul Verhoeven, 1990)

069 - This is a big one. Philip K Dick mixed with a little Verhoeven, brought to life with peak-90's practical effects and shaken into absurdity by Arnold - makes this movie operate on any conceivable level. There is pretty much something for everybody here. However, back in the 70s and 80s, this thing wasn't so easy to sell, and was stuck in development hell as it bounced around Hollywood for over a decade, with various combinations of directors and leading men attached - from Patrick Swayze to Richard Dreyfuss. Yep. This movie's origin story is stacked.
