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

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).

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

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
