Invasion U.S.A. and Runaway Train were both awesome (the Arctic isolation in Runaway Train was a character all its own).

I never saw Death Wish 3.

But, Mr. Gorman, for my money, Lifeforce would have to be in the top 3. Mathilda May was just freaking gorgeous-- the closest to feminine physical perfection I think you could get (she's top tier, in a very small group), and completely natural, too. No tattoos, no piercings, no augmentation (believe it or not), and not heroin-addict skinny like most of today's Hollywood actresses (though she was French). There are many other reasons to recommend that film, as well (the unintentionally cheesy dialogue, for one).

Anyway, that's my three cents:)

Lifeforce is indeed a great flick and not just because of the stunningly beautiful Mathilda May!

(But the other 3 are better)

For me, Lifeforce (I have a br copy signed by cast and Tobe Hooper!!) Cobra (Stallone's cheesiest best) and The Delta Force (Invasion USA being a very close 4th... !)

I love Cobra, a truly underrated movie but I always think of it more a WB flick than Cannon.

Yeah I get that... I don't know where you are, but in the UK back in the day most Cannon films released on VHS (in those big box rental cases) were either through Warner (Cobra, Superman 4, Masters of the Universe...) or MGM (Cyborg, Invasion USA, Delta Force...) and I still picture them that way... smiley
