The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. It is the most 80s of all 80s movies and the fact it never produced a franchise makes us all lessor.
Raising Arizona. I love the scene with the family selfie The sad a disappointed look that Cage gives the supermarket worker who has just tried to shoot him with a shotgun makes me laugh out loud every single time.
I believe it was titles Marilyn Chambers' Private Fantasies Vol 1. The scene where she is in a cheerleader outfit, sans panties, on top of the soda shop counter, and a gentleman is digging maraschino cherries out of her anus was a cinematic masterpiece.
To many to chose one 1. Princess Bride 2. St. Elmo's Fire 3. From the Hip 4. Pretty in Pink 5.Sixteen Candles 6. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 7. Die Hard
Platoon is a masterpiece. Hollywood was rewriting the Vietnam war by giving money to people that were never in the war, like Sylvester Stallone. Oliver Stone was there, his knowledge of the actual facts of that war made all the difference in that movie.
Too bad Oliver Stone ruined his own career w/ #metoo and kissing the backside of dictators like Putin.
Remember when movies were original and not re-do's and movies made from TV series and TV series made from movies, and live action versions of animated and animated versions from live action and female versions of male versions...etc

What happened to creativity in the movies? Is it just thinking the past was better and there are just as many good films today but I am just not seeing them? Or did the accountants take over and ruin everything? What modern movies will you stop and watch even though it is already half over when flicking through the channels?
I saw goonies, princess bride and great outdoors mentioned, but what about uncle buck, people? What kid didnt fantasize about snow shovel pancakes or tellin some cunt "heres a quarter go have a rat gnaw that thing off yer face"?
The Outsiders. The Breakfast Club. Purple Rain. The Lost Boys. Beetlejuice. Desperately Seeking Susan. The Vacation movies. The Flamingo Kid. Drugstore Cowboy. Anything with Matt Dillon!

ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful movie to watch, and the performances are excellent. And I LOVE hearing Fernandez singing The Wally.
How is Breakfast Club problematic? Good lord.
ReplyDeleteProbably Sixteen Candles or Pretty in Pink. I loved them so much! I wanted to be a teen in the 80’s so bad 🥺 And you cant beat the term “oily bohunk”.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins
ReplyDeleteNow this movie should have spawned a franchise or at least a made for TV series. It would have been cheap to make and better than most 80s TV shows.
Too many to choose just one: Top Gun, When Harry Met Sally, ET, Rainman, Breakfast Club, I really could go on....
