Subject: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Okay everyone you have to pick ONE and only ONE 80's movie as your favorite and post it here. Mine is Back to the Future!
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Only one? It is a difficult choice, but I would have to say Better Off Dead.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
"Back to the Future" it was the first movie we rented after getting a VCR.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
In terms of overall enjoyment, I choose Back to the Future. In terms of mindless fun, however, I choose UHF.
I know you said "ONE" but I like situational movies.

I loved that movie, although now I don't remember a lot about it.
It was one of many movies about clever little girls, including "Annie", "Little Miss Marker" and "Anne of Green Gables" to name a few.

GREMLINS ;D
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
It is really hard to narrow my choice down to just one movie.
For today I will say: The Lost Boys

Along the same lines..."The Naked Gun" :) Every time I go to a ball game I heckle the ump during the 7th inning stretch to start doing the Frank Drebin-as-Enrique Pallazzo-as-home plate umpire routine...you know, calling the strikes while doing the splits.

Band of the Hand...a cult classic for those who have seen it, made in the tradiation of Miami Vice
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
It's so hard to choose, I like Better Off Dead, and I like Howard the Duck, Ferris is a classic... oh, the drama...lol...
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
I think Ferris messed people up...I wonder how many kids actually tried to do that back then? You know, cut class, steal a mustang, go to town, have a kick ass time, and get away with it without your parents finding out AND without your principal being able to do anything about it?
But then again...it is just a movie
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Breakfast Club
It was especially funny when they would censor it for t.v.
"flip you" was my personal favorite censor-job.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Yes of course, a movie it is... maybe we should stick with Better Off Dead and his 'come to life' drawing... and we can't forget about the hamburger's that come to life to...lol... "Everybody wants some".

Goonies and the Last Dragon
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Hah, not too surprising a lot picked Back to the Future (which is my choice, of course). Is it just me, or is that whenever someone mentions the 80s, Back to the Future automatically appears in your mind?
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Sorry to bring this comedy-laden topic down, but i'd have to say Glory. Got to be one of the only movies me and "Oscar" have ever agreed on.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
I forgot "Trading Places." That is one of my all-time favorites. I know just about all the lines to that movie because I have watched it so much.

Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Hard to go for just one, but some of my personal favorites have already been mentioned. Ferris Bueller (and that was a 60's Ferrari, not a 'stang!! ;) ) The Lost Boys, I loved Streets of Fire (I KNOW it's cheesy, so were the 80's!) The Terminator, Top Gun, Beetlejuice, Scarface, E.T. I could go on and on...
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!

Subject: Favorite 1980's movies
My favorite 1980's movies are "Ghostbusters", "National Lampoon's Vacation", "WarGames", "Spaceballs", "Raging Bull", "Gandhi", "Amadeus", "The Princess Bride", "The Blues Brothers", and "Top Gun".
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
My favourite 80s movie is The Princess Bride - I could probably recite the whole movie. A close second and third would be Dead Poets Society followed by The Lost Boys. Also loved the Indiana Jones movies.
Sorry - couldn't list just one!
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
my favorite all time 80s movie was the lost boys!!
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
"Raiders of the Lost Ark": Excellent action movie.
"Amadeus": Excellent Best Picture Winner of 1984.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
My favorite movie of the 80s is Say Anything. Truly splendid! ;D Lloyd Dobler is my hero.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Too many...can't...decide!! *embolism*
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
I'll go with Ghostbusters
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
This is an almost impossible question to answer. But if I had to I guess Valley Girl!
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Pretty in Pink!! All I ever wanted was to be like Molly Ringwald and to find a guy like Ducky!!
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
"There can be only one" Highlander
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Jeez, this is a tough one...I'll choose "The Road Warrior".
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Techno movies like ROBOCOP, SHORT CIRCUIT and TERMINATOR were cool.
Can't forget GOONIES, FERRIS BUELLER(KennedyKennedyKennedy!), POLICE ACADEMY.
Then there were the 'grown-up' ones like COCKTAIL, FATAL ATTRACTION and PORKY'S.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
St. Elmo's Fire (just for shallow fun)
Glory (for thought). Plus I sob at the end EVERY TIME (that music kills me)
Two choices, but opposite ends of the spectrum!
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
THE GOONIES!
I could still watch that movie all day long and get a kick out of it.
My sister's class in High School called a girl there CHUNK, based on appearance. This was in 1996 8) So, needless to say, its legecy lives on.

I'm glad someone posted Savanna Smiles. I thought that was a great movie. Made me cry at the end. Also it was filmed here in Utah and the spot where the guys get arrested by the creek is a favorite hangout of mine.

Mine it's "Fire with Fire" directed by Duncan Gibbins in 1986.

I must agree with "Back To The Future" was there anyone more 80's than Mchael J. Fox?
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Hi every1, :D
Yes, I agree that the Goonies were sucha great film, definately my favourite :D a good script, original story, great setting, great dialogues , I can't remember how many times I watched it! ;D
But there were some others I liked as well: Back to future, Dirty Dancing (how couldn't I? I really loved it!) and there is a film that really really touched me: "Deads poets society".The message of the film was just beautiful: chasing your dreams may be difficult but it is worth it. Because achievin real happiness is making your dreams come true. No matter how much it costs. I've seen this movie about 10 time sbut I still cry at the end of the movie, when all the guys stand up n say "oh my captain, my captain". That is when those guys became real men.

Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
If I had to choose, I'd probably have to go with The Lost Boys or Creepshow. Oh, Syncronos, in Ferris Bueller, it was a vintage Ferrari that they took, not a Mustang.

Blade Runner (wonder why nobody mentions this great movie)
Alien
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Dawn of the Dead. It was a must see at the midnight movies.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
I have to go with Ghostbusters. It has such epic special effects and has some great one liners. I think movies in the 1980s had more realistic and convincing special effects. The computer and digital effects of today actually look more primitive to me.

i would have to say caligula with that guy from the clockwork orange great movie about the roman empire lots of sick tortures and weird sexual scenes too
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Mmmm...probably National Lampoon's Vacation. Ferris Bueler (everyone's favorite or close to it) was probably second. Of course, I was a bit too young to see them on the big screen at the time... Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which I did see at the time, was up there as well.
Subject: Re: Everyone post their fav. 80's movie!!
Another 80's movie that is great is "Repo Man"! :D
