classic eighties movies.

Ferris Bueller's Day Offffff!

 

The breakfast club, 16 candles, police academy, the first lethal weapons, the stuff (LMAO), RAWHEAD REX, Splash, The terminator, Christine, Flowers in the attic, Beetlejuice, BIG, Elvira haha, Fletch, Grimlins, and who could forget Porky's? I could go on and on...

 

Yep, John Hughes had a big run there.
16 Candles
The Breakfast Club
Weird Science
Uncle Buck
Ferris Beuller's Day Off
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Christmas Vacation
...then in the 90's he kind of fell off. But, I hear he was a writer on Drillbit Taylor, but wrote under the name "Edmond Dantes". I haven't seen that movie.

 

i watched about 15 mins of of pretty in pink and i couldnt get into it... but i loved the breakfast club and ferris bullers day off!!!

 

I'd have to say.....

(I dont know if all of these are eighties so sorry)

Trains, Planes, Automobiles (maybe that was nineties...)
Say anything
What about Bob

 

Stealing home 19&&

 

Truly impressive necropost where all the participants prior save for Scratcho are no longer active, LOL.

But hey, I like 80's movies myself. A lot of them seem better-balanced compared to the film of today, too. Too many good 80's films to mention, but the original Star Wars trilogy and a lot of Spielberg films made in that era are still some of my favourites. And not to mention the other ones like Flight Of The Navigator and The Last Starfighter, The Dark Crystal, and of course one of my all-time favourites, Superman films with the late Christopher Reeve.

 

A thread that is always relevant though


16 candles, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller, I never got why those movies were a big deal, Suckfests, all of them

 

Oh yeah, I wasn't complaining, or anything of the sort. In fact, I like this topic.

So, thank you Fred for reviving this thread.

 

I didn’t know I reviewed it.. I loved the. 80s it was a time time for me. I wish I could go back in time

 

I worked in the film industry between 1970 and 87. it was a wonderful time, On golden pond and Yentl were among my favorites. Recording this scene and then opening the film in London is still one of my fondest memories.

 

Wild at Heart. (1990 but barely.)

 

The movie that introduced us to John Rambo, "First Blood".

 

Flashdance! Not to mention Dirty Dancing and Back to the Future of course
And all of John Hughes
And whatever came out in the 80's by Cronenberg and Lynch (forget Dune though, its horrible)
For me also die Blechtrommel by Voelker Schloendorff and The Mirror by Andrei Tarkovsky, but those I've watched as a grownup.
And last but not least Bladerunner.
Probably a whole lot more though.

 

Always loved the Lynch version of Dune. You have to be in a certain mindset to sit down and watch it. But great collection of actors and great soundtrack

 

I agree Dune Directed by David Lynch was horrible (and you'll find no bigger fan of the Dune universe anywhere on earth)

 

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985).

 

Killer Clowns From Outer Space

 

Nobody said Top Gun.

So... Top Gun

 

Commando
