- Weekend at bernie's
- Wallstreet

Ferris Bueller

The Breakfast Club

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Ferris Beuler's Day Off

Weekend at Bernie's

WallStreet


the other ones are all good - but not quite what I'm feelin like tonight ... Top Gun didn't make the list because tom cruise is threatening to my manhood - my girlfriend wants him more than she wants me.

Scarface.

Goonies, Stand By Me, and Lost Boys.

I used to like the Ernest movies. Like Ernest Goes To Camp :1orglaugh

Flight of the navigator.

only a pure fucking dipshit would suggest such a stupid fucking movie.



Oh hey J.... you're hardcore.

Just FYI...

Sweet tarts and wine don't mix well.

Sweet tarts taste great after wine, but wine tastes like shit after sweet tarts.

A Christmas Story (1984)

Krull was cool!

Beast Master and Conan the Destroyer were cool too, dammit.

Three Men and a Baby was funny as hell. Probably because I can relate to it VERY easily.

You can leave out ghost busters.

The Terminator

A lot of great movies were made in 80's. Or may be it's just my illusion because I was young then? Many of them already mentioned here.

My favourites are

Blade Runner, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Predator, Commando, Conan, Terminator (and some other movies with Arny), Big trouble in little China (and many others with Russel), Alien... Some comedies with John Candy, also with Lesly Nelson.

Damn, I forgot many titles already (I'm always bad with names), but they were great.
