I'll stop there and I'm sure you've probably seen some of these, and I was going to suggest Top Gun but I stalked your Movie Log on WC and noticed that you watched it so good on you.

 

[Postman Dave]

Jeez I gotta a lot to do :

Gonna watch one tomorrow hopefully, watch this space.

 

[Postman Dave]

tonight's choice is....

Oh & FYI, Tremors was released in 1990, not sure that counts as an 80's film guys?

 

[Fuji Vice]

Well it would have been filmed in the 80's anyway, lol.

Good choice for tonight, here's hoping you enjoy.

Hey guys! Did you see the size of that chicken?

 

[Postman Dave]

Well that was good.

Loved Estevez as the rogue leader, only ever seen him in Mighty Ducks so had no idea he had that in him.

God damn John Locke with hair, holy shit.

Noticed there's a sequel, doesn't seem very necessary though. Any good?

 

[Fuji Vice]

Yeah, Estevez can really stretch the acting chops from time to time, he's a good director as well. He's great in St. Elmo's Fire, you should check that out if it's available. Also, it was released in 1990, but check out Men at Work if you can, it's hilarious.

It was alright, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. Just listen to the Bon Jovi song "Blaze of Glory" instead.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

actually I like the sequel quite a bit if only for Christian Slater's Arkansas Dave Roodenbaugh and also some small glimpses of future super stars...

I'd def watch it LB

 

[Postman Dave]

Tomorrow

Tremors, or Footloose?

 

[Gentleman Jake]

Tremors


Footloose is rad though... really can't go wrong with Bacon

 

[Fuji Vice]

Yeah, Tremors for sure.

And the sequel was based off of a guy who claimed to be Billy the Kid if i remember correctly in real life as well.


And Tremors. Footloose is great but Tremors rules better tha. Odoyle does.

 

[Swinny]

I've never seen Footloose either, so Tremors automatically gets my vote. You should have fun with that one.
