The Dan O’Bannon ready reckoner
It's Friday, it's ready reckoner time, and, oh look, it's Dan O'Bannon again!

Dan O’Bannon’s name should be familiar if you’ve been reading Den Of Geek this week, so who better to put our Friday Ready Reckoner than the great scribe himself? We know he’s lovely, but which of his films are tasty, nutritious brains and which are just jars of gristly pickled brother?
Dark Star (1974)

Alien (1979)

Dead and Buried (1981)

Blue Thunder (1983)

The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

Lifeforce (1985)

Invaders From Mars (1986)

Total Recall (1990)

Bleeders (1997) (aka Hemoglobin)

Sadly, I’ve seen neither Screamers, nor The Resurrected, so they might well be the missing links of brilliance in the otherwise fairly scattershot second half of Mr O’Bannon’s career. I will endeavour to track them down.
