Director John Badham had a big run from the ‘70s through the late ‘80s, with “Saturday Night Fever,” “WarGames,” “Blue Thunder,” “Short Circuit” and “Stakeout” becoming bona-fide box-office hits. Even Badham’s movies that didn’t quite come off commercially were solid – the John Williams-scored “Dracula” (1979) among those – yet Badham hit a wall when the 1990s began.

I sort-of recall watching PROPHECY (102 mins., 1979, PG; Kino Lorber) on network TV in the early ’80s, and getting quite upset that Talia Shire’s unborn baby could be a mutated, one-eyed monster — the kind of thing you might expect from a tired grade-schooler who probably shouldn’t have been staying up to watch this movie to begin with.

John Wayne and director John Ford produced over a dozen movies together, concluding their collaboration with a picture that, while being deemed a lark by most involved, nevertheless became a beloved outing for its fans: DONOVAN’S REEF (116 mins., 1963; Kino Lorber).
