Best Film Of The 80's

Started by madsci3 pages

in no particular order (except for #1)...five of my favorites

1. empire strikes back - epic. probably my all time fave.
2. raiders of the lost ark - i want to be indy when i grow up.
3. escape from new york - i'm actually watching this right now. i find it funny that the duke of new york is now the chef of south park!
and for that matter, just about any other movie by john carpenter...the thing, big trouble in little china, just not escape from l.a.
4. creepshow I & II - "thanks for the ride lady!"
5. halloween III: season of the witch - guilty pleasure

Even Beverly Hills Cop II had a good soundtrack. Remember the song, "Shakedown" by Bob Segar? Pretty good by those standards, IMO.

Pretty much every other movie had bad music 😉

Here are some I think are good films
Top Gun
E.T. - The Extraterrestrial
Dirty Dancing
Good Morning, Vietnam
Big
Platoon
Gorillas in the Mist
Alien
Pretty in Pink

...I put more than five 😖

You can pick more than five 😄

Classic: Goonies
Cartoon: Last Unicorn 🙂
Action: Indiana Jones!!
Comedy: Big
Best one I've neard that I still haven't seen: Top Gun
