LB watches 80's movies

[Postman Dave]

I've noticed that Now TV have dumped a load of 80's movies on their section recently. So far I've watched Lethal Weapon & I'm currently watching Big Trouble In Little China. I want to get as many as possible seen this month, so recommend me some stuff, and if it's there I'll whack it in the queue. Chances are I haven't seen it, so recommend anything.

List
Stand By Me
The Goonies
Raising Arizona
Trading Places
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Pretty In Pink
Say Anything
Over The Top
Heathers
Clue
Young Guns
Commando
Karate Kid
Tremors
The Great Outdoors (90% sure I saw this a couple of times when I was younger)

Yeah great list there Wang Chung, I would put the Breakfast Club on that list. Such a great cast, and the things the characters go through, kids together when I was young went though, as the current kids do today.

 

[Postman Dave]

the search tool I use to check if any of these are available is down :

Soon as it's back up I'll check 'em. 90% certain Revenge Of The Nerds is out there though.

This has been on my "to watch" list for ages, none of the on-demand services in this country seem to want it for some reason.

Oh and I must know what you think of Big Trouble in Little China?


Sleepaway Camp
Robocop
Over the Top

 

[Fuji Vice]

Trying to base this on what I think would fit your tastes...

Superman II and III
The Punisher
They Live
The Terminator
Heathers
Stand By Me
Back to the Future
Full Metal Jacket
Mad Max II: The Road Warrior
Big
Gremlins
The Goonies
Ordinary People
This is Spinal Tap
Raising Arizona

I'm sure you've seen some of those but I'd definitely recommend watching the rest.

I'm just going through the 80's lists from WC (yes, I keep them all) and I see Dave has seen quite a few of the movies we've already suggested. Here's a couple from each year that you didn't nominate, although I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean you haven't seen them...

1980 - Caddyshack, The Blues Brothers
1981 - Escape from New York, Clash of the Titans
1982 - Fast Times at Ridgemont High, 48 Hrs.
1983 - Trading Places, The Outsiders
1984 - Sixteen Candles, Gremlins
1985 - The Goonies, Back to the Future
1986 - Stand By Me, Ferris Bueller's Day Off
1987 - Full Metal Jacket, The Princess Bride
1988 - Rain Man, They Live
1989 - Major League, The 'Burbs (I assume you've see Batman)

I've added a few of Fuji's recommendations to the list as I know for certain they are available. I have seen The Goonies & Ferris Bueller before but it's been so long I want to watch them again.

You'd be wrong on Batman :shifty:

This is the reason I didn't really start participating in that until the mid-90's. I mostly watch stuff from the last 10 years, so there's some huge gaps in my movie viewing.

 

[Fuji Vice]

Should definitely watch Batman at some point then.
