OT: Best Movies From the 80’s

[Carolina4]

I love 80’s movies, especially the comedies. They were just creative scripts that didn’t have to be so raunchy to get a laugh.

I love Revenge of the Nerds (ok so this one is kind of raunchy) and, believe it or not, just watched The Breakfast Club for the first time recently. Never expected it to be so dramatic near the end.

What are some other 80’s classics?

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Caddy Shack (tied for favorite)
Bull Durham (tied for favorite)
The Big Chill
Empire Strikes Back

Flash

View to a Kill (honorable mention) most Bond films deserve recognition & Grace Jones stole the show.

I always enjoyed Moonstruck (1987). Like her or not, Cher won the best actress Oscar that year and she deserved it. The movie is full of great lines. Fine performances by the late Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, Nicholas Cage (he's never been better), and the late Danny Aiello.

 

[AsTheCockCrows]

As a teenage boy, the chick from RainMan provided me with hours of entertainment!

 

[Art__Vandelay]

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

 

[Art__Vandelay]

Dang.. Forgot Trevor Lawrence starred in this. Dude is quite the renaissance man.

 

[Quisp]

I have to mention Working Girl. Lots of good dialogue. And Kevin Spacey actually hitting on a woman!!!

 

[sclawman77]

How could I forget?

Stripes (love that movie)

 

[sclawman77]

Every single John Candy and Bill Murray movie ever made.

John Candy was hilarious. Summer Rental, Armed and Dangerous and Uncle Buck were good movies.

Love the Duran Duran song too

Yes, View to a Kill was far from a favorite Bond film, but I thought it had a great theme song.

I loved the John Cusack teen-movies (Better Off Dead, The Sure Thing, Say Anything, One Crazy Summer). The Last Starfighter deserves a quality remake, as I have fond memories of that one. Revenge of the Nerd and the original Porky's were both fun and hilarious.

Kenny Loggins, soundtrack king, sang both tunes too.

Caddyshack: "I'm alright"

Caddyshack 2: "I'm going all the way"

There's some useless information for you.

The Rabid Dolphin & Bob Cat carving the engine out of the ferrari !

I start yelling everytime that board drops and you see the back of the ferrari.
Makes absolutely no sense but it's still hillarious.

Eddie and the Cruisers. Not a comedy but a really good movie. One of my favorites.
