Movies of the 80s: 'Without Warning' a Goofy Forgotten bit of 80s Sci-Fi
"The Alien Terror is Here on Earth" Though almost completely forgotten and being not a very good movie in general, there is an unexpectedly awards heavy pedigree to the 1980 sci-fi cheapie "Without Warning." The cast and crew of "Without Warning" carries 9 Academy Awards, 5 Golden Globes, 3 BAFTAs, and a SAG Award. Of course, no one won anything for their work in "Without Warning," and few had won anything before making "Without Warning," but it's still notable and unusual for such a forgotten movie.

Movies of the 80's: The Un-Making of John Huston's 'Phobia'

In an effort to bring more film production to Canada, the government began offering more than just tax breaks, they began offering tax subsidies. Productions that chose to film in Canada could get between $3 and $5 million dollars in subsidies for shooting in Canada, working with Canadian crews, and hiring Canadian actors for prominent roles.
