Movies from the 80's

What movies did you love from the 80's?
Do you still watch them, to this day?

Sixteen Candles was my favorite movie of the 80's. Long Duck Dong was so funny and who did not want to date Jake.

Indiana Jones movies were huge. I remember lining up to see those movies hours before they began.

Even though the first Star Wars: A New Hope, came out in the end of the 70's, the original trilogy is still considered to be from the 80's. It's my absolute favorite, and I watch all three many times throughout the year.

I too loved Sixteen Candles...

Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink are a couple others that I loved.

I still watch them today.

I liked all of the Brat Pack movies, like Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire.

I loved St. Elmo's fire. That was a good one. Top Gun was good too.

Goonies, Legend, Princess Bride, Neverending Story, Flight of the Navigator; loved em all back then.

Goonies was sooooooooooo cool. We watched that over and over.

Neverending Story. I loved that one. I took my nephew to see it. I should go buy it for Damon.

I wasn't too excited about that one. My brother loved it.
How about Labrynth with David Bowie... that movie is awesome.

Never saw it.

You have NEVER seen Labyrinth?

I love Labrynth... I have the soundtrack, and I have the track "Magic Dance" on CD in the car it's awesome, "you remind me of the babe, what babe, the babe with the power..." it's cool

I like Airplane!, The Princess Bride, I used to like the Never Ending Story, but I haven't seen it in so long... hmm... what else? The first two Back To The Future Movies, The Terminator and Die Hard... A Nightmare On Elm St. 1 and 3... The Star Wars sequels...

all I can think of

Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones, Back To The Future all rocked.

Personally, I loved Tom Hanks' early endeavour Bachelor Party. Whenever that movie is on I piss myself. Love it.

As for sappy 80's flicks, how about a young and naked Demi Moore (pre-boobified) and Rob Lowe in About Last Night. Great flick. Perfect date movie.

-HECK!

I liked all three of those movies, Bob...

Did we forget Ghostbusters?

Valley Girl

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

My Chauffeur

The Last American Virgin. Bad movie, awesome soundtrack. It had Just Once and OH No in the soundtrack. Very sad.

Beverly Hills Cop

Amadeus

I LOVED Fast Times at Ridgemont High...

Sean Penn on the phone, banging a shoe (Vanz) on his head...
"Dude... what was that?"
"that was my skull dude... I'm soooo wasted"

Oh and when Phoebe Cates walks in on the brother in the bathroom!

How about when she comes up out of the pool? That is one of the ALL TIME sexiest moments in movie history.

I KNEW you would like that.

Well... DUH!! A woman, who's HOT, bearing her boobs! What's NOT to like?

We forgot Bachelor Party

Steel Magnolias-that was the late 80's right?

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

E.T. (1982)

Ghostbusters (1984)

The Terminator (1984)

Back to the Future (1985)

Aliens (1986)

This was a movie about the 80's -The Wedding Singer. Did anyone else crack up watching the movie with all the band references and such? Like him telling his girl to get out of his Van Halen T-shirt before she jinxed the band and made them break up.

Innerspace

The Blues Brothers
