in stark contrast to fingers' religion thread, some lowbrow fun...

gonna have a vid night this weekend, trying to come up with the 3 definitive 80s trilogy. For what it's worth, here's my punt:

Ferris Beuller's Day Off
Back to the Future
Gremlins

interested to hear everyone else's - bring it on muthaz (except you young'uns who won't remember the 80s...)

[dave]

beverly hills cop box set.



"Don't think, Axel!
It makes my dick itch!"

[SamT]

ought wi molly ringwald, innit.

[Bubba]

Aye, The Breakfast Club is a real 80's classic.

[dave]

other good 80s shiz:

kids films:

flight of the navigator
labyrinth
space camp

action films:

predator
die hard
first blood (Rocky1)

[Bubba]

Check this list

A few good suggestions in there.

[dave]

i forgot spaceballs, the great outdoors, and naked gun.

[boulderingsam]

caddyshack ???

[cofe]

short circuit, 1 & 2
Ghostbusters

innit

[tommytwotone]

word. might ditch BTTF in favour of Ghostbusters.

random questions coming off the back of this one...

Has Tom Cruise ever died in a film?

more importantly, has Steve Guttenberg ever been in a good film?

[vivahate]

and Spaceballs

[samJ]

Has Tom Cruise ever died in a film?

more importantly, has Steve Guttenberg ever been in a good film?

Well he might die in Collatoral (haven't seen it though).

What? You mean you don't like 3 men and a baby!

Oh, and Princess Bride is one of the best films of all time!

[tommytwotone]

SPOILER ALERT

he does. That's what prompted the query - had a mate who said that you can't kill Tom Cruise in a film, and if you do it'll only ever be a maximum 7/10!

as for my man Guttenbizzle, reckon Caccoon is about as good as it gets...

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Risky Business, a young Cruise and (even better) a young
De Mornay...
 
Weird Science. Similar story, also as classic.

 
Most things off this list pre 1989... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000455/

John Candy Classic Triple Bill:
Uncle Buck,
Planes, Trains etc
The Great Outdoors

For some classic '80's weirdness check the Alex Cox directed 'Repo Man'. Emilio Estevez's finest hour.

Mind you, you can't beat a bit of Bueller...

[Graeme]

first blood (Rocky1)

Surely you mean Rambo?

I did think of something, but its gone now.

This thread is totally pointless unless somebody mentions....
