best 80's movie?
 

Yesterday I spent the day, along with a few friends, at an all day 80's movie fest at the 1.50 movie 'art' house in London. We watched, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Ferris and St. Elmo's Fire. We are massive John Hughes fans so we loved it.

I know you said to name one 80's movie. But how can you have just one 80's favorite
:)

I am sure they will..I think it might be hard to get actual prints of some of the films. The ones this cinema (I love this place, right in the social center of London but costs 1/10th the cost of a movie at the big cinema right nextdoor) had were all a bit scratchy but then they have been sitting around for nearly 20 years.

one I haven't seen in ages - Some Kind Of Wonderful

Remember Lucas?

Oh, last night the Cinema nextdoor to that one hosted the London premier of Tombraider 2. Jolie was out there when we went to stretch our legs between movies. Tombraider 2 or any of the movies that played last night? I think I made the right choice.

Revenge of the Nerds
Weird Science
Back to School

how about
The Blues Brothers
Animal House
Stripes

i love Goonies too..I was actually saying to the cinema staff last night that they should get it. Do an 80's kids movie marathon.

Tootie - I had never seen Breakfast club on the big screen and it brought something new to it, such a great dialouge film.

Back to the future.http://www.bttfmovie.com/modules/ima...85_marty_e.jpg

I real feel sorry for Michael J. Fox,

what is missing from today's movies is a sense of 'movie magic'. Sure special effects mean you can do anything but it used to be written into the scripts more than it is now.

Of course, there are 80's films that never should have been made..Teenwolf Too comes to mind.

toxic avenger
porkys
3 oclock high
wierd science

was Lost Boys 80's or was it 90's?

Under the Cherry Moon
Breakfast club
School Days

The first boner I ever got was when I saw Molly Ringwald for the 1st time! I remember thinking: Oh my god, whats happening to me? I felt all warm, and my lil' dick was about to tear through my under-roos! :eek2

Raiders of The Lost Arc, 48 Hours, Caligula, Fast Times

SCARFACE!!!!!!!!!

And...

Tonari no Totoro, Rainman, Robocop, Terminator, and I probably missed a bunch.

Zapped :1orglaugh

My band, Innocent Rage, was supposed to be featured in that movie, but we broke up a few days before our interview segment with Penelope Spheris(sp?) due my guitarist fucking my drummer's girlfriend.....

1977 I believe

but, yes, one of the greats...it made me want to be a stuntman.....

Porky's
Porky's 2
Porky's Revenge

Early eighties cheesy but cool.

I wish like crazy they'd bring it to the big screen here. It's not only my favorite 80s movie, but it's also one of my top 10 of all time.
