I can't be the only one here who has a love for 80s movies, so I thought I'd dedicate a whole thread to them!

Ghostbusters (1st one only)

tmnt 1 was in 1990

Trunks 11-01-2003 07:29 PM

it was filmed and produced in 89 so I consider it an 80's movie.

Bowser_Koopa 11-01-2003 07:33 PM

ok, i see that makes sense :)

WHAT?! It's a funny movie! I swear! :D :lol:

Leo656 11-02-2003 06:41 PM

I agree with most of the choices listed here, but I can't entirely hate on "Just One of the Guys" because of that one scene near the end... YOU know which one I mean... damn that girl had a nice pair of.... eyes.... :o

Taloniss 11-02-2003 06:46 PM

Everything everyone's said, and Superman III is a good comedy IMO.

Brodie 11-02-2003 06:56 PM

Everyone forgets Predator. Are me and CQB the only ones who think God made that flick himself?

Eye of Sarnath 11-02-2003 06:59 PM

It had God in it (aka Arnold Schwarzenegger).

cqb101 11-02-2003 07:06 PM

Predator
Aliens

A lot more......

Reznorite420 11-02-2003 09:06 PM

The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Coming to America
Return of the Living Dead
1984

The Thing (1982, what the computer game is based from)
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Lethal Weapon

An American Werewolf in London
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

Listing "guilty pleasures" is superfluous since liking 80s movies is a guilty pleasure in itself :D

Worst:
Anything with Molly Ringwald in it
Adventures in Babysitting
The Princess Bride (I'M a hertic for that :roll: )
The Punisher (NOT because he didn't wear the skull (f**king fanboys), but because it was just a bad movie)

There's a lot, but my faves are

Ghostbusters
Spaceballs
Batman
Princess Bride
Roger Rabbit
Predator
Bill And Ted
Dick Tracy
Star Wars
indiana Jones

others, obviously, but there's a few.

Though I don't care for it now, Home Alone was one of my faves as an 80's kid.

Leo656 11-02-2003 10:28 PM

Nice list Rez, but I can't dis Molly Ringwald cuz I've seen her naked and I was very pleasantly surprised... (anyone curious knows how to find me...) :P

Mondo J. Gecko 11-02-2003 10:44 PM

Here's my list:

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Back To The Future Trilogy
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Beetlejuice
Batman

Leo656 11-02-2003 11:17 PM

I'm diggin' that list too but Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey was in 91 or 92 I believe. Close enough, though. PARTY ON, DUDE! :D

Aw no way, man. Ringwald was great in Sixteen Candles (her best film by far IMHO) and Adventures In Babysitting is hilarious in a juvinile way.

That Matt Guy 11-03-2003 07:14 AM

Here's a couple of good ones that nobody mentioned:

Revenge of the Nerds
Platoon
Pumaman

And Superman came out in 1978.

Kid Icarus 11-03-2003 07:53 AM

Did you all know that Molly Ringwald got hideously ugly over the last decade? Her face gives me nightmares now.

Brodie 11-03-2003 02:48 PM

I thought the Breakfast Club was good...Just cause Judd Nelson is harsh.

No sh*t...just look at her in "Not Another Teen Movie".

Reznorite420 11-03-2003 09:09 PM

Yes, it was the last scene in the airport; she kept commenting on Jake's attempts to get Janie back, saying stuff like, "Oh, please, that's from "She's All That"! Do something original" or whatever she said...I've only seen the movie once.

PanMan 11-03-2003 09:59 PM

Machias Banshee 11-04-2003 04:05 PM

Gah, Steven Spielberg's only Truly Bad Movie! :P

Mars-Chan 11-04-2003 04:11 PM

Nyahh! I LIKE that movie thank you! :lol:

Would THIS work?

RskimB 11-04-2003 04:16 PM
