Inspire by last weekend release of remakes like Karate Kid and the A-Team. I figure this would be one interesting topic. (me thinks)

Anywhoo, you're ready for this?

I've seen practically every movie ever made during the 80s. But there is ONE particular I never seen....be shock everyoner.....




...Top Gun.



Yes, I admit...I never seen it. Love the soundtrack but never bother to watch the whole movie. Ironically I seen Hot Shots (which is a parody of Top Gun) but never Top Gun.

Gawd! I feel awful! Back to my wearing my L.A. Gears shoes!

I just saw Top Gun for the first time last year or so, incredibly overrated.

The Karate Kid

Tons and tons of movies.

Too many to name.


How about someone compile a list of the top grossing movies of the 80s. Say, the top 10 from each year?

Someone please ban Mild.

I've seen and nearly have them all.

If I've seen any, I either didn't know it was an 80's show... or I was coerced.

All this remaking worries me when it comes to movies like "The Goonies" and all John Hughe's films. My god. What if they remake "The Breakfast Club?" AHHH!

I can see a remake of the Goonies, because Steven Spielberg did it, and "just think of all the special effects that could be better." Except there would be no truffle shuffling, because most Hollywood Kids are skinny as hell.

I have not seen

"Can't Buy Me Love"
Flashdance
48 Hours

Strangely, I've seen all of the others. I remember thinking Big was the most awesomest concept ever. (I saw it on VHS in like...91.)

Also, Can't Buy Me Love seems like a generic shallow 80s "nerd gets the girl" flick. I think the 80s started that trend...no?


Edit - Forgot to say it: thanks for posting that list, dude.

i have seen every movie from the '80's

48 hours is very good, if you happen to ever watch it, you'd like it a lot

Closet homosexual? it's okay. Hit a nerve have I.

wow after all this time.yeah it is VERY over rated.Flight Of The Intruder a movie similiar to that film is by far MUCH better by leaps and bounds.

why it really isnt that good a movie.Tom Cruise in his early years wasnt that good of an actor and this movie was in his early years.

Speaking of, his new 'Knight and Day' flick looks like total garbage.

I was avoiding a top grossing movies list since the title is about popular and not movies with high grossing box office records.

Day of the Dead is a very popular film for horror fans...but it didn't reach high gross sales at the box office.

Ha, old-man had to do a search, the memory is slipping.

Anyone who hasn't seen 'Ferris Bueller's Day off' or 'Breakfast Club', needs to die.

I've have never seen 'Blade Runner', it's been on my queue for a long time, just never gotten around to watching it.

Witches of Eastwick, dude, epic win. Do send.

If none you haven't seen Howard the Duck....you are soooo EVIL!

Red ****in Dawn, bitches.

For films iconic to the 80's decade, I haven't seen -

Wall Street
Risky Business
Pretty In Pink
The Color Of Money

Breakfast Club
16 Candles

The Breakfast Club is my personal favorite.

I wasn't aware that those two were mutually exclusive.


Aren't they almost the same exact thing with very few exceptions? (The exceptions would be cult classics that did not gain popularity until years later.)

Then that wouldn't be a popular movie from the 80s then, would it? Only popular among horror fans doesn't necessarily mean that it was plain ol' popular, right?

Not popular as in mainstream. But is becoming more and more known by many...after all they did made a remake and that is helping the original get more popular. Which is a good thing for the next gen of horror fans who are expose to garbage like the Saw franchise and the Ring, and so on.

That's easily one of my favorites from the 80s.

I have never seen Footloose.

Oh man you guys have to see "Stand by Me" if you haven't already. The large list shown earlier was a good overall list, and someone added Red Dawn which is a good one too. But "Stand by Me" is perfect--especially to watch in the summer.

I've never seen Footloose either, and frankly don't want to...

Thats what i say about the people who havent seen Footloose that have posted here.That is my second favorite movie of all time right after Star Wars A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back which are tied for first place.

Well I havent seen Ferris Buellers Day Off.Parts of it when I was flipping around channels once,but never the whole thing.Also havent seen Some Kind Of Wonderful and Cant Buy Me Love.Just saw Dead Poets Society for the first time last week.Not a fan of Robin Williams.

hmmm,Im wondering if he isnt a friend of yours that you referred to to this site.Both of you are from england and never seen Footloose? Seems just a little too coincidental to me unless he is a friend of yours of course.

The only movies I choose not to see-

Pretty in Pink
Footloose
Titanic (not 80s so what)

Well I don't know anyone in Oxfordshire, so no. I don't know anybody on this forum outside of the internet.

Stand by Me and Stand and Deliver were two movies our Jr. High (nowadays known as Middle School) teachers would shows us all the time!

for all the people that have said they havent seen FOOTLOOSE,if this trailer doesnt get you all excited and pumped up,well then you have bad taste in movies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaaYU-lZ3ac&NR=1

I was little when this movie first came out and when i got into high school I always tried to get my hair to look like Kevin Bacons in that movie to no success.Wish he had kept the same look of his hair he had back then for all his films.Hated it that he didn't. I realise you may not like it but come on,if that trailer doesnt get you excited,then theres something wrong with you.

Like always,you show your true maturity level around here which equals a child which is why I usually always have you on ignore,back to ignore again.yeah I am jeoulous of Kevin Bacon for getting to kiss that hot chick in that movie,yet I am that of what you say I am.real logical there. But then again,thats the kind of logic I always expect to come out of YOUR mouth.

LoL, was just silly humor; I've watched Footloose 2-3 times myself. Wasn't an insult.

But as always, your old butt-hurt over being spanked over and over in debates springs forth, too good, too good.

Robtard
This person is on your Ignore List.

Hahahaaha, kids these days.

Robtard's mouth droolio

Krull, I used to love that movie as a kid.

Hell yeah, the one eye dude was badass. Got pwned by the mountain-ship thingie though.

He was dead anyways.

Top Gun for me too, I tried to sit through it once... it sucked mammoth dicks, so I got up.

Having now seen the film I can now see why you like it so much. It is a very uplifting film and had some strong performances in it.

yeah sure is.Glad to see you agree with me on that.

48 Hours

haven't seen any of the Godfather movies.


or any that would be called an "oscar" winner for that point.

But that goes for pretty much ANY decade.

Its okay but its EXTREMELY over rated.Not the great movie that it has been billed up to be over the years and the movie networks love to show over and over again day and night.I swear not so much now these days, but for so many times over the years,I couldnt turn on the tv set without some cable channel airing Top Gun too many times to remember.

A movie thats very similiar to top gun that I strongly urge you to see if you havent is Flight Of the Intruder.Its about navy jets during the vietnam war.Has William Defoe and Danny Glover in it.That is an axciting action film that is extremely UNDER RATED.

That would be "Lost Boys", also staring the "Cory brothers" (Cory Feldman and the late Cory Haim who died last year or this year). Definitely a good movie.
