Full Metal Jacket was among the best movie released that decade.

The Princess Bride still ranks as one of my favorites.

Also:

Ordinary People

Raging Bull (how could I forget that gem?)

The King of Comedy

After Hours

Purple Rose of Cairo

Broadway Danny Rose

Radio Days

Zelig

Crimes and Misdemeanors (a must see)

Arrr the 80's

Good Morning Vietnam
Indiana Jones
Bill & Ted's excellent adventure
Platoon.

Was "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" 80's I'm sure it was

i can't believe i forgot to mention the breakfast club.
fantastic flick

thing fish, I notice you like John Hughes movies. I was not a very big fan of his, but some of the earlier films were enjoyable.

Tootsie (Dustin Hoffman gave one of his best performances in that movie.)


It is hard to find really good movies in that decade. Hollywood started the blockbuster hit, and that is what they seemed to release.

Clash of the Titans
Heavy Metal

these are definitely not the best movies from the 80s but worth mentioning

Two by Blake Edwards:

S.O.B.

Victor, Victoria

Both star the wonderful Julie Andrews, and she appears like she has never before in S.O.B. She has the immortal line: "I'm going to show my boobies!" in that film. The late, great Robert Preston also appears in both those movies.

Blue Thunder for you action fans. That movie inspired three TV series: "Blue Thunder", "Airwolf", and "Riptide".

Picked up "The Lost Boys" on BluRay about an hour ago. Shall be watching that this evening. I'm surprised I've never actually watched this film.

so what did you think about the lost boys?

how bout big trouble in little china
the toxic avenger
american flyers
