Tom Clancy burst out onto the scene in 1984 with a runaway hit called The Hunt for Red October. Hunt was made into a film in 1990 and Then President Ronald Reagan said it was one of his favorite books. Three other books starring Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in both Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games and Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears. But his remarkable penchant for realism and technical detail are hallmarks of his style, it keeps fans coming back time and time again. For some, it might be laborious but the technical detail is interesting to see and the speculations on it by other characters. This lets me know that he has great advisors.  He's also made his mark on non fiction  But nonfiction isn't exactly what you came here for.

Halloween, the controversial holiday born of All Hallows Eve and a Celtic holiday. Some say it's pagan and churches put on Hallelujah parties to get kids to go to church instead of trick or treating...borrowing pagan customs and slapping Jesus on them is a thriving business idea...I need to get in on it and Joel Osteen it up.  The main thing I love about both Halloween and Christmas...the movies. Every night through October there is a movie on at any time ready to scare your pants off and make your blood run cold.  Then you grow up and Halloween is a time to be perverted with hunky cops and sexy nurse uniforms...or dress up as a Danish Cookie tin with a sewing kit in it. As I am not too keen on Halloween Parties this year because Rona decided to kibosh it, I wanted to rank the Halloween Franchise from worst to best. So let's kick off our list shall we?  Predictably, you'll guess which one kicks off our list Halloween Resurrection (2002) After Halloween H20 was the smash d...
