Movies from the 80's
I grew up watching these movies. Now, we have to admit, some pretty psychotic stuff came out of the 80's. Unfortunately for me, my memories from those times long past (the days I spent watching movies in the 80's) have seriously faded and I can hardly remember watching these movies. Also, since my friends and I never know what the hell to do when we hang out (we're dirt poor, and we're not into drinking so anything related to alcohol is out the window), so I came up with the idea of renting movies that we grew up watching. I think this would be a really cool idea, but what I'm looking for specifically is... well I can't describe it other than psychotic, movies from the 80's. These movies aren't necessarily psychotic, though, maybe just a bit disturbing. I have this list so far:
Little Petshop of Horrors Better Off Dead Batteries Not Included InnerSpace Willow Never Ending Story Supergirl Bill & ted's excellent adventure Gremlins Short Circuit Willow Krull Whoops Apolcalypse Labyrinth Tron The Dark Crystal The Princess Bride Flight of the Navigator Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure Alice in Wonderland Can you think of anything else? :) |
You've got to have the "classics"
The Breakfast Club Sixteen Candles Pretty In Pink (John Hughes is my hero) Maybe these are too girly though.... |
Hot Dog - best bad ski movie ever.
|
SPACEBALLS
|
Clue, one of the best 80's movies ever.
|
Big Trouble In Little China!
|
The Goonies!
edit: not that disturbing, although Sloth could scare some people.. or the truffle shuffle. edit ii: why's this in General Discussion? |
Was Top Gun 80s? or 90s?
|
These are some good suggestions. And I suppose this thread would work better in Nonsense.
|
I suppose it would be even better in Entertainment, with the other movie threads ;)
aaaanyways, I've got 3 rec's - Heathers (possibly too 'chicky') Less Than Zero (woah bad imdb score .. i guess I'm weird for liking it) River's Edge And a Bonus (altho I didn't first see it until the '90s, it was relsd in '86) Blue Velvet (judging by your list, these may be a bit 'edgier' than you're used to) :cool: |
Quote:
The Lost Boys was another one I thought of. |
Picnic at hanging rock
|
|
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Ferris Bueller's Day Off St Elmos Fire Footloose About Last Night Eddie and the Cruisers Dirty Dancing Say Anything oh oh oh -- how could i ever forget absolute movie brilliance Caddyshack Airplane Who said the 80s had no culture? :D |
Can't forget...
Naked Gun History of the world, part 1 Blazing Saddles Young Frankenstein Mad Max Black Stallion 2001: A space Odessy Gosh, there are sooo many, this list could go on and on. |
Crickey,
No one has mentioned Risky Business. I also think "Death Race 2000" was made in the 80's and I damn well know that "Spinal Tap" was. |
Blade Runner
Running man and how could I have forgotten, Alien! |
dream a little dream -- the corey duo is in this flick.
|
Total Recall
|
Geez... The Breakfast Club? anyone anyone... Bueller... anyone Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
These are the ultimiate in 80s teen films... |
Karate Kid
Iron Eagle Oh so good. |
You gotta check out the Mad Max movies. That's entertainment!
|
John Huges is also a movie King in my house. So Molly Ringwald is the princess I suppose... I would have to say...
Say Anything (Kickboxing... oh Cusack; you so crazy) Fast Times at Ridgemont High Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Bueller... Bueller... anybody?) St Elmos Fire Footloose (JUMP BACK!) The Goonies The Breakfast Club Sixteen Candles Pretty In Pink (Oh Duckie "Blaine, Blaine... thats a major appliance, not a name") The Princess Bride ("Luve, Twue Luve") The Christmas Story ("You'll shoot your eye out!" Theres more I'm sure but I'm having a hard time to think of them all. I think the Wedding Singer should be made an official 80's Movie. PMF 21 |
Action in the eighties: A golden era in the action genre, a period of transformation and refinement, where the stylistic leanings of action moved away from the traditional taut suspense plotlines and hardedged badass archetypes of Bronson and Eastwood to embrace orgiastic violence, oiled biceps and heavy Regan era political overtones.
Personally I love the entire catalogue, it's a horrific, ignimonious perversion of artistic expression and the entire medium itself, yet I still love Commando and Rambo First Blood Part II... And the list goes on... |
The best movie of all time...... Karate Kid 2 !!!!!11
|
Commando to be sure. Here's something that might interest you if you want 80's action: http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/80saction/80saction.html

Ha, I just watched one on TV yesterday (I was bored and laying around). Summerschool from 1987. Not really crazy I guess, but totally 80's.
Oh, and by far the best bmx bike movie - RAD. Best skater movie - Gleaming the Cube - Christian Slater was the star with a big cameo part for Tony Hawk. |
- Another vote for Howard The Duck from one of 5 fans on the planet
- Spaceballs! - Anything Arnold did (Command, Predator, Running Man, etc) |
