Misfit · 11-01-2003, 05:06 PM

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!

Use this thread to discuss the best, the worst, and the "guilty pleasure" movies from our time's best decade, the 1980s. U'll start the ball rolling with a little list (which is in no order, btw):

Best

The Karate Kid (1st one only)
Ghostbusters (1st one only)
Beetlejuice

The Wizard
The Princess Bride
The Worst Witch

Worst

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-01-2003, 06:54 PM

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

My favourite 80s movie: Better off Dead

*Kid Icarus* · 11-02-2003, 11:08 AM

Breakfast Club, Beetlejuice, Weird Science, and Poltergiest

*Mars-Chan* · 11-02-2003, 12:12 PM

Breakfast Club, Beetlejuice, and Howard the Duck.

WHAT?! It's a funny movie! I swear!

~~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....

*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

Best:
Escape From New York
Evil Dead 1 and 2
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Robocop
Star Trek 2, 3, and 4
Ghostbusters (BOTH of 'em)
Howard the Duck
Aliens
The Terminator
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Coming to America
Return of the Living Dead
1984
Highlander
The Naked Gun
History of the World Part 1
Spaceballs
The Running Man
Big Trouble in Little China
The Thing (1982, what the computer game is based from)
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Lethal Weapon
The Last Starfighter
Platoon
Predator
Superman 2 (4 was OK, but not the best)
Beetlejuice
They Live ("Hey, what's wrong, baby?")
An American Werewolf in London
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Monty Python's Life of Brian (if this wasn't 80s, tell me)

Labyrinth (trunks is a heretic

)

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

Worst:
Anything with Molly Ringwald in it
Adventures in Babysitting
The Princess Bride (I'M a hertic for that

)
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

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
