what is your favourite 80's movie?

I want to say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I, but I suppose that was 1990. So I will have to go with the generic choice of The Breakfast Club.

goonies.

[linsee]

Ghostbusters!

My friend Beth and I would watch it over and over in her basement in the summers. We would also eat ice cream and wait til it melts and drink it. Cool, I know.

[linsee]

goonies.

My friend's 9 year old got obsessed with this movie last summer, it was awesome/hilarious.

oh yeah i am the proud owner of all these in boxsets (i even like the cheesy ones e.g. nightmare on elmstreet: dream warriors LMAO)

oooh and all the george romero zombie movies heee there my faves

[CarlaRant]

Return to Oz

It's the unofficial sequel to The Wizard of Oz. It's seriously creepy and Fairuza Balk's first film.

Yeah the dream warriors is good... When a little girl sings a lullaby and Freddy is coming out from the girl's bed... Cool. :)

My favourite is the Evil Dead. Best horror movie I've ever seen... I think if there is a lot of blood in the movie that is not enough to make it good. The "psychological warfare" is very important too... And Evil Dead and Elm street movies have the spirit.

[Lifestyle_X]

back to the future is fucking awesome ! also watchd the lost boys, it amused me

[straightXed]

who remembers teen wolf?

[mouseman004]

who remembers teen wolf?

With Michael J. Fox! That is a great movie!

Seriously? You should see lost boys...the sequal is pretty dire though.

[straightXed]

Anyone remember BMX Bandits?

[XTrueColorsX]

I don't know why but I have missed it yet... But I will make up for it!

[XTrueColorsX]

Anyone remember BMX Bandits?

With the young Nicole Kidman? Yeah, it was awesome!!! I saw it few weeks back...

[CarlaRant]

I don't know why but I have missed it yet... But I will make up for it!

I haven't seen the sequel. I thought I might cry at the horrible acting and cheesy effects. Was I right?

[straightXed]

I cant even explain how dire it was, the movie was a complete EPIC FAIL lol

[Just-a-fool]

I liked Evil dead 1,
Is Night of the living dead from the 80's?
Anyway i also love The godfather, wich came out in '72.
And Chucky: Child's play was pretty amusing too.

Ohw and i'd almost forget Gremlins, Gizmo is so cute :D

[CarlaRant]

I don't know, I haven't seen it...

Sorry, quoted the wrong person.

[Crasshole702]

what is your favourite 80's movie?


Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo...

[straightXed]

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo...

What i find interesting is that breakin', breakin' 2 and breakdance all came out in the same year! Breakin' was cool with ice t in it.

[Crasshole702]

Well, I think breaking pretty much exploded and they had to keep crankin out movies to follow the constantly changing and growing trends. At least that's what I assume, because I missed the 80's haha

I didn't miss them but its still pretty strange to have a sequal in the same year as the first film. But yeah, breaking did explode big, it was neat.


Now what about karate kid, that was cool.

[rodrigo]

[straightXed]

i don't think i would know a level 42 track if i heard one.

[Lifestyle_X]

i don't think i would know a level 42 track if i heard one.

'Lessons In Love' is pretty known/famous
but i prefer Bronski Beat instead of Level 42 actually

[straightXed]

[Telilah]

For me, the Dark Crystal and Gremlins have to be my favorite movies from the 80's even though theres a bunch more I really love those two got me through my childhood and The Dark Crystal is just my favorite movie of all time period.

I also luv Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club, Back To School, the list goes on, I luv the 80's so much and especially the music and the films.
