Thank you to everyone who submitted movies!🍿🎥

And the winner of the very first Flockbuster is… The Last Starfighter, submitted by Ethan Wallace!

Congratulations, Ethan, and thank you for submitting such a fun film! It was a blast getting to watch something I’d never seen before.

Turns out, The Last Starfighter was released the same year as Tron, which I just watched! I could definitely see some similarities in the filmmaking style, especially with the way both movies blended sci-fi with video game elements.

The Last Starfighter is an action/adventure story about a young man with big dreams for his future. What he doesn’t know is that those dreams are about to take him much further than he ever imagined. The galaxy needs him! 🚀🎮

Watched on: Amazon / Runtime: 1:41:15

Hope you enjoy!

Way to go, Ethan... great choice, ESPECIALLY right after TRON!

I saw this in the theatre with my friends and we loved it. I still remember us riding our bikes on a hot summer's day in Florida during summer break, we were just like the gang from Stranger Things (including the D&D). I loved The Music Man growing up and seeing Robert Preston in this unique role was great.

Mike Smith

I've never seen this movie but I'm looking forward to watching it. I just learned that the director played Michael Myers in the original Halloween. I'll have to keep that one in my back pocket for movie trivia night!

Ethan Wallace

That's CRAZY! I never win ANYTHING! I'm honored, thank you!

Paulo

Wow this was a surprise. First I watched Tron and then The Last Starfighter, it will be a great day if I wasn’t sick.

This was another childhood favorite of mine. Here's a little bit of trivia: the director, Nick Castle, is also an actor and is famous for being the first to portray invincible serial killer Michael Myers in the original Halloween (1978).

Robert Inman

A younger Robert Preston as a con man hawking 76 trombones in the classic Music Man played another con man/alien decades later - fun!

Ed Scoglio

Never seen this one before and it was a lot of fun! Definitely love the Flockbuster idea!! I also realized that Ernest Cline totally ripped off this idea for his book Armada. That is also about using a video game to recruit people to fight a war against aliens!

Yea, I love the Last Starfighter! Glad we got to watch it again. I am liking the FlockBuster concept, and would love to see it happen more, assuming it doesn't too badly disrupt Jax's schedule.
