Favorite 80's Flicks?


Recommended Posts

Star Wars came out in 1977, not the 80's, and FMJ was 1988 so you're safe there...

My fave is probably Meet the Feebles...a few others include Evil Dead, Bad Taste, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Cinema Paradiso, Full Metal Jacket, Die Hard, The Killer, Brazil, and (for cheese) Princess Bride.

*waiting for half the people in here to start listing Princess Bride*

The 80's w2re sort of a dead zone for movies....the early 60's (Dr Strangelove, Wild Strawberries, Rashomon, etc), late 70's (Clockwork Orange, Annie Hall, Star Wars, Dolemite, A Boy and his Dog, Godfather, Chinatown) and late 90's (Usual Suspects, Shawshank, Seven, Life is Beautiful, Il Postino, Pulp Fiction, Before the Rain - the BEST movie nobody's ever heard of and one of my personal top 3 PLEASE PLEASE COME OUT ON DVD) were really the golden ages of film so far...

Yeah, and the Goonies rock too. I'm still searching for one-eyed willy. However, my esteem of the film dropped a bit because of a personal experience I had with Sean Astin. Explorers was another killer one with a lot of the same kids in it

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact

that we had to sacrifice a whole

Saturday in detention for whatever

it was we did wrong. But we think

you're crazy to make an essay

telling you who we think we are.

You see us as you want to see us...

In the simplest terms, in the most

convenient definitions. But what

we found out is that each

one of us is a brain...

...and an athlete...

...and a basket case...

...a princess...

...and a criminal...

Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
