Just had this discussion in work, so what are your favourites?

Mine- Platoon and Wierd Science. (brilliant bill paxton as chet) 🙂

Too many.

Goodfellas?

Assuming only can pick one, Back to the future!

First Blood

Ferris Bueller or Blade Runner, maybe.

Platoon’s up there. Near Dark, Blue Velvet

or

but probably best of all:

Rita Sue and Bob too

The Goonies
Robocop
Die hard
Aliens

Easy: Empire Strikes Back

Local Hero.

Die Hard, Predator, The Hunt For Red October.

All made by the same director one after the other, thats a pretty good run of ’80s classics.

But no, Back to the Future wins but someone said it already

Yeah, Back To The Future, obvs. Jeez, of all the stupid questions. 🙄

Back to the Future – check out that 4×4, so I did.

All the above plus Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Raiders of The Lost Ark, Risky Business…

Withnail & I

Rumble Fish; and a lot of what has be said above but not all 😆

a lot of what has be said above but not all

Too right! Predator was shite then and is shite now. As for the kids’ films, I was a bit old for those in the 80s.

+1 for Back To The Future.

But, hard to ignore…
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Wierd Science
Goonies
Top Gun
Aliens etc…

The Blues Brothers 😀

Also lots of the above, especially Withnail and I.

Uncle Buck

The Thing

Actually the number 1 is from 1980:
The Shining.

They Live was awesome, as was The Thing. In fact, every John Carpenter film from the 80’s was pretty good!

1988 They Live
1987 Prince of Darkness
1986 Big Trouble in Little China
1984 Starman
1983 Christine
1982 The Thing
1981 Escape from New York
1980 The Fog

Come and See

“The big blue.” Weirdly brilliant, depressing and uplifting all at the same time. Plus you get a tantalising peek at Rosanna Arquett’s lovely bits.

BMX Bandits in 720p for sir?

Top Gun is the best ever!

Bill and Ted.

Excellent!

Why’s nobody said Terminator? Eighties soundtrack and evyfink.
Or Footloose 🙂

blade runner
scarface
das boot
once upon a time in america
the terminator
full metal jacket

It’s obviously footloose.

Or Back to the Future.

“You are not a god”

“Why don’t you pull the trigger and find out.”

Can’t beat Young Guns

A lot of teen Americana so far. So here’s another- The Lost Boys

Predator.

Highlander

Oooo, forgot this gem from 1981, Excalibur.

i have to add manhunter also (cannot choose between the hitcher/manhunter as my fav tbh both awesome films 😀

Withnail and I

Or for a more obvious 80s type film – Breakfast Club.
