Your favorite 80s movie
 

I'm going with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Ferris Bueller would be runner-up. You?

Looking forward to this thread, I love 80's movies and want to see which ones I missed

Breakfast Club and St.Elmo's Fire are two that immediately come to mind, but there were a ton of good movies from the 80's.

desperately seeking susan...i think this was during the late 80s

Man there are so many.

Fastimes at Ridgemont High
Better off Dead
Pretty in Pink
Breakfast Club
St Elmos Fire
One Crazy Summer
Beverly Hills Cop
Big Trouble In Little China
Ghostbusters
Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Arthur
Caddyshack
Airplane (1 and 2)

Jeebus.. who can pick just one. Any one of the above list shows up on the movie channel and my evening is shot.. hehe

Best movie ever made = Bladerunner (1982)

Rebel, great list.

Thanks, can you tell I'm a child of the 80's? And that's not including any of my Horror list. hehe:winkwink:

It's funny, they didn't have all the new special effects.. but they did have a plot damnit, and that's enough for me.

big fan of the horror too, mostly 70s I think

A Nightmare on Elm Street
My Bloody Valentine
christine
Cujo
Twilight Zone: The Movie

just to name a few

the thing

Vision Quest - Louden Swain, Shute, Kuch... banging the older lady.. and of course high-school wrestling.

Best movie ever made = The Terminator

Those two would be up there on my list. But I'd be lucky to narrow that list down to 10. The Goonies is my #1 favorite 80s movie.

Some others that I love, off the top of my head:

Empire Strikes Back
The Toxic Avenger
Revenge of the Nerds
Tron
Labyrinth
Weird Science
Sixteen Candles
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Back to the Future

The 80's were a blur for me,I liked Fast Times and Ghostbusters

Masters of the universe.

By far Dolf's best work.

Top Gun. No movie has ever had a bigger impact on me - A few months later I joined the Marines.

The Great Outdoors!!!

purple rain

I was mistaken, The Terminator is only the second best film ever made. Surprised that trailer didn't have Girls Just Wanna Have Fun though.

you fuckers missed red dawn and boys next door

Better Off Dead is definitely on my top 10...

One of the quintessential 80's movies, no doubt!


I want my two dollars!

Spring Break

Straight up -Top Gun is the gayest movie ever made. TG makes XXX gay fisting porn look hetero in comparison. :1orglaugh

Fright Night

Loved Top Gun...Tom Cruise may be kind of a whack job but I still think he's a great actor

Caddyshack with 48 Hrs coming in second (unless that was in the 70's)

2 Dollars!!!!

My all time favorite movie of the 80's
 

Big Trouble In Little China! FO SHO!

Also:
Back To The Future
Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom
Adventures in Babysitting

Goonies.

Just a few that I enjoyed in the 80's

When Harry Met Sally - (1989, Rob Reiner) (Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan)
The Killing Fields - (1984, Roland Joffe) (Sam Waterston, John Malcovich)
Driving Miss Daisy - (1989, Bruce Beresford) (Morgan Freeman, Jessica Tandy)
Body Heat - (1981, Lawrence Kasdan) (William Hurt, Kathleen Turner)
The Last Temptation of Christ - (1988, Martin Scorsese) (Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel)
Out of Africa - (1985, Sydney Pollack) (Meryl Streep, Robert Redford)
Platoon - (1986, Oliver Stone) (Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Charlie Sheen)
Field of Dreams - (1989, Phil Alden Robinson) (Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones)
The Executioner's Song - (1982, Lawrence Schiller) (Tommy Lee Jones, Rosanna Arquette)

Quadrophenia - Technically released late Sept 1979 - But as I didn't see it until early 1980 - It counts as 80s for me :)

Is that Van Damme at 2:25????

Ghostbusters was nice

throw momma from the train
war of the roses
wall street
the untouchables

not in any certain order
better off dead, rain man, full metal jacket, rad off the top of my head

Saw Beverly Hills Cop 2 the other night. Still a great movie after all those years :thumbsup

Soooooo many great movies back then. That was back when Hollywood still had ideas.

Difficult to choose a favorite.

Since Hollywood is on a reboot spree, I would love to see a remake of The Day After.

At least a few movies I don't remember seeing in here, will have to check some out.

Shining
Clockwork Orange
Once upon a time in America
Scarface

Do we only count American movies? If not, I would add Time Bandits

Too many to mention ...

80's are when action movies were in their prime. stallone, schwartzenegger, norris, van dam, segal, gibson, willis.. didn't miss those kinds of movies until they were gone. Expendables is pretty good though.

Agreed. This had been on the top of my top 5 since..forever.
