Sunday Night at the Movies: Robocop (1987) (*cyberpunk genre*)



Sorry, for the lateness of this "Sunday Night" film, too much work, and not enough play, I need sleep too you know...I wanted to post a different film but this is what is available now.  I recall when all of these late 80s, and early 90s films were broadcast on television in the mid 90s.  Ah...how time slips by, I remember those days before things went really sour in my life...memories. This film was a hit.
