Of that list the only one I would re-watch is Aliens. 80s comedies and romcoms are dire. DIRE. OK on second thought I admit would rewatch Lost Boys for Sax Man. |
||||||||

Hold on I am receiving a late breaking bulletin that I think Heathers is also pretty OK. |
||||||||

half are great, half is just nice nostalgia |
||||||||

|
There is a shit ton of 80s films that arent on there that i would add |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i watched heathers not too long ago, it's "very" as their vernacular goes. my mum let me see it when i was little and i had no clue what was going on but i remember learning about cow tipping, heh |
||||||||

|
robot jox is a weird movie robocop is a better movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
somehow heathers never registered on my radar before, sound like a lot of fun |
||||||||
|

Excellent selection. Ellen Barkin and Peter Weller looked like living 80s graphic design in that movie. Plus it's completely bonkers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't seen it in a while, i remember it being bizarre but that's why i really liked it, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's just so over the top in every way and that's why it works. If they had shown restraint or "good taste" in some aspects it would have fallen apart. Plus it had Jeff Goldblum in that Wynona's Big Brown Beaver cowboy costume. |
||||||||
|

herd of it but haven't seen it |
||||||||

||||||||
|

eraser (1996) is not relevant to this thred |
||||||||
|
|

back on topic, gary busey's bulletproof (1988). gary busey's catchphrase is literally "butthorn" and it features the singularly most awkward rape scene in the history of cinema. parts of it were so flagrantly terrible that i found myself stewing on the whole concept of a movie itself: like, alright, i know what you're trying to do with my emotions here, but this is such crap i can't, i just can't -- but, yeah, isn't that weird? how movies are a tunnel we subject ourselves to; we want our emotions manipulated, with plot and characters and music so i thot "let's just blow that up right now" and made |

Better off Dead is an ok John Cusack romcom but far better is Rob Reiner's The Sure Thing. And then Say anything... is also better than... Better off dead. The Goonies which I watched again recently did not disappoint, I know some people say it didn't age well. They are wrong. The Lost Boys is brilliant, and yes I do like Sax Man. I remember when I first the film at the cinema when it came out and thinking Sax Man was the single greatest song if ever heard, I struggled to comprehend how music could be that good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was just googling around and Sax Man's has a happy ending. |
||||||||
|

has a great scene with steven berkov as a drug addled maniac |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great story. All this time I didn't know the song was a cover, I've only ever been about the Sax Man version. I'm giving the original a go.... now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The only one I haven't seen on that list is Mystic Pizza. Think it's going to stay that way too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Does anyone else get emotional when they find ET face down in the river, that always gets me that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it was my favourite film as a kid i was scared of e.t. at first, shocked when he died, crazy happy when he came back (telefon, telefon) and sad when he left the whole spectrum of emotions, just because of that potato from outer space, damn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't seen ET in years but that scene sticks in my mind - looks very gritty with him lying there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god i really want to see it now, haha potato from out of space John Williams music is genius in that film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah very stark for a kids film! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the music is awesome. i rewatched it last winter and just saw it popping up on my netflix and i almost clicked as i kid i always hoped for a second film, where e.t. comes back. the only official sequel was a commercial |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently there was going to be some sort of horror quasi sequel called night skies, sounds like a bit of a weird idea! |
||||||||
|
|

|
Anybody like 'to live and die in LA?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is getting a new release soon, remember renting this from the video shop in the 90s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Wang Chung... love that tune... not seen the film though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone remember the VHS display in their local corner shop, all up on the wall, and the smell of corner shops that go with it...? Looking at all the covers and wondering wtf they were all about, when ur 5, fucking brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i was saying to before i really miss going to the video shop with my dad and brother, used to go every weekend, get some Charles Bronson film, some sci fi action film invariably with Rutger Hauer in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah i know what you mean, they did that for games on cassettes as well. those spinning carousels with 3 sides. Do you remember those sensors you had to walk over when you went into a library and made a clicking sound |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not only did my library have that, it had a fishtank with a lamprey and a two story cactus in skylit stairwell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one, interesting to see we shared a sort of commonality even though you're in America. I really miss going to the library with my dad, getting books, tapes and cds. I guess it was like a prototype of surfing the internet |
