I don't know why, either.

The Abyss (1989)
Deepstar Six (1989)
Leviathan (1989)

Dangerous Liaisons (Dec, 1988)
Valmont (1989)

I was set on seeing The Abyss in next 2 days....How did you like it? I have seen Leviathan and thought it was Ok though many people complain about it.

The Abyss seems to be the most popular of those three. I liked it best, but I'm not too critical of movies.
