"Funny Farm" is great. Just picked it up on DVD. What Chevy Chase movie isn't great???
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
'Real Genius' is great; I'll add another Val Kilmer movie I liked - 'Top Secret!'
'Can't Buy Me Love' was another little-mentioned 80's teen movie I liked. Amanda Peterson was very pretty...she seemed to drop out of the motion picture scene soon after this movie. Wonder what happened to her...
I really liked 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure'. Yeah, it's stupid, but it's pure brainless fun. ;-).
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
There was a movie called "American Gothic". Has anyone else ever seen it before? I thought it was pretty funny, even though it was supposed to be scary. :)
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
"Millennium"
"Leviathan"
Both of these are from 1989 and are excellent! :D
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
"Irreconcilable Differences" - My dad took my brother, sister and me to this right after separating with my mom. I wasn't too keen on that.
"Vice Versa" - Loved this one! It was on Comedy Central this past weekend!
"Gung Ho" (Michael Keaton)
"Morgan Stewart's Coming Home" (Jon Cryer)
...come to think of it, the other movies I listed were ones my dad took me to see on my birthday whenever they were in the theater...

One of my favorites of all-time :) It was Keatons first movie before he hit it big the very next year with Mr. Mom, right?
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
"The Last Starfighter" with Lance Guest and Catherine-Mary Stewart. Saw it in the theater, and when it came out on cable I think I watched it at least 14 more times (I think I was really bored that summer.)
I had to watch "Dream A Little Dream" with the Coreys about 3 times to finally get it...and to see Meredith Salenger. (Nice to see her on "Dawson's Creek;" she hasn't aged a bit!) :)
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
"Bachelor Party"...there's a real funny but underrated movie.

I agree with you, Serpico. Speaking of Tom Hanks, how about "Splash" ;D
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
How about "Weekend at Bernie's? I thought that movie was too funny!

The first time I saw it, I thought it was pretty funny but then they came out with II and it was, IMHO, just pathetic...that made me think less of the first one, and so in a around-about way I guess I really don't like it much after all. As for Andrew McCarthey though, I really enjoyed him and the movie "Mannequin" from '87 ;)
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
Speaking of Andrew McCarthy..."Less Than Zero"...I thought it was a good flick although I expect mixed reviews on this one.
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
Brazil made me think and Top Secret made me laugh.

Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
My personal favorite, Fame, just making it in from 1980. Why isn't this movie available on DVD???? If anyone knows of a site that shows when movies are coming out on DVD please let me know.
Thanks!

How about:
MOONWALKER By Michael Jackson.
Subject: Re: HARDLY MENTIONED 80'S MOVIES..........
Movies we loved and my Mom couldn't stand:
Strange Brew - Bob & Doug McKenzie
Saturday the 14th - total send-up of horror flicks that no one else seems to remember
Six Pack - Kenny Rogers, and then little-known Diane Lane & Anthony Michael Hall. Although this could be late 70s, I'm not sure.
Stroker Ace - Burt & Loni in stock cars
Gee, these are all "S" movies. What's up wit dat?!
