My traders say I look like Tackleberry. I guess that's a complement.
OT: Best Movies From the 80’s

Y’all being honest? Favorite movies that don’t include any porn?
No “Scarface” ??? That was the only other one I thought deserved listing . Was “Coming to America” 80s or 90s???
Good call. Think I was six when it came out so I didn't catch it until well after the 80s. Like I said, there were too many great movies to name them all. Think Coming to America was late 80s. Another good one.
Beverly HIlls Cop (both)
Red Dawn
Raiders of The Lost Ark

Lots of great ones listed. The motion picture business has changed so much since the 80s. I miss the way the huge hits of the 80s DOMINATED the box office for an entire summer or even longer. A movie like ET or Raiders of the Lost Ark would hit #1, stay there for 5 or 6 weeks, give up that spot to a new movie for a couple of weeks, and then GO BACK to the #1 spot for another month or so. That's unheard of today. And they would continue to rank in the top 5 for months. As a kid growing up in the 80s, I can still date-stamp my memories of the summers based on the popular movies that were playing at the time. That was before endless cable channels (remember when HBO was one channel?), Netflix, and international release dates that create incentives for the studios to pull a movie from circulation the moment it's popularity wanes so they can rush it along to the next stage of revenue generation. Even blockbusters today may leave your locality within a month of its opening day.
On a completely different topic ; who was your 80s Celebrity crush ?? Mine were Heather Thomas from “Fall Guy” and Belinda Carlisle from the GoGo’s . And the chick in the WhiteSnake Videos !! Haha .
You are so right. There's already been two that I know of: Vacation & Red Dawn.
I liked The Natural so much I actually read the book. I much prefer the movie ending compared to the books.
Also, Field of Dreams. Still gets me choked up when he turns around and realizes it’s his Dad.

It did miss the 80's didn't it....dang, I thought it was one of the "Brat Pack" movies.Raising Arizona is one of my favorites. While a good movie, Gross Pointe Blank missed the 80s by quite a few years.
As for 80s celebrity crushes:
I think I got it and "Less Than Zero" confused as far as being a Brat Pack movie....and, of course, from the 80's.
My favorite sci fi movie and one of my all time favorites in general
Heaven Help Us (underrated movie)
Naked Gun
Gremlins
Jewel of the Nile

And my greatest crush.....
