I'll tell you a true classic. Road- Fucking -House. Patrick Swayze's crowning moment. Every inch of this film is a masterpiece. Every line a memorbale qoute. It is stated to be a Drama, but everyone knows its truly a comedy. With this I say to you all, I used to fuck guys like all of you in prison!

I dunno, if you want THE definitive 80s movie then Commando is hard to beat. Every scene is a stone cold classic.

...The ludicrous notion that Swayze could ever, in any way shape or form, be a "Hardman".
...Swayze's character's badass old mentor. ...The naffness of the club he protects.
So many classic aspects.
Hmm, I dunno if Roadhouse or Commando are the best though. I think The Hitcher is a contender too.

when Arnold throws Cooke through the wall onto a couple who somehow kept having sex despite the four gunshots in the next room, Rae Dawn observes, "These guys eat too much red meat." Again, exactly right. Also of note is when the naked couple emerges from underneath the covers, the woman is behind the man. Yeah, buddy!
Haha!

I watched "Cobra" the other day and so intensely 80s was it that time actually vomitted me back 20 years. I'm writing this on my Spectrum.

Road house transcends decades. Its ageless. Mullets are still in style where this film was depicted, I gather. The quintessential 80's teen male film for me would have been Rambo probably. Or predator.

this thread in summary, in my opinion Cobra is an 80s film which is not as good as First Blood which is not as good as Road House which is not as good as Predator which is not as good as Hitcher which is not as good as Commando which is not as good as Die Hard which is not as good as Playing For Keeps

Any 80s film starring Kurt Russell is a classic.

I'd never heard of that before, but based on the following list of characters, I think I may have to check it out:
Van Go-Go Sam, the Luncheonette Owner Dancer (Silk's Fantasy) Dancer (Spikes' Fantasy) Mint Buyer, 'No Cash' Lady who Finds Cheap Steaks Kidnapped Priest 78 Pound Lady

I've said it before and i'll say it again.
The Running Man Captain Dynamo
"I'll show you dickless!"
Absolutely incredible delivery and undoubtably the best one-liner ever to grace the silver screen. Respect to the Dynamo.
