What popular 80s Movie you have NEVER seen?

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

Dude!

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

Someone please ban Mild.

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.
