When you watch these films and compare them to today's action flicks, one thing that stands out is that the action is anything but non-stop.

It's not the one node that shuts down, the whole system flicks a switch and ceases to be.

They have some quite incredible flicks there, but without the language knowledge it's often hard to get access to them.

Strangely "tilt" sets it back to normal but keeps the domain, then when you change the search query it flicks back to backwards mode.

Not that that's a bad thing, but "true 80s" flicks are a bit different IMO (ie: Breakfast Club, Back to the Future and the like).

So I would argue that Windows has at least two different types of pie menus, including Flicks.
