Best Movies of the 1980s

[Mecca]

Nope.

It was GotG.

I was looking for him in IW, but no dice.

Was it?

I binge watched so many of those movies at a fan event marathon for Infinity War that I fried my brain.

It was the scene where Stalone showed up, right?

 

[Dolemite censored]

and?

Getting old.

Yeah I probably should add Wall Street as a really good film. He nailed the 80s zeitgeist with that.

JFK was such a horrible film that it ruined Stone for me. Natural Born Killers was trying so hard to be a commentary on society and it just fell flat on its face.

Talk Radio annoyed the shit out of me.

Nixon was pretty terrible because he was so busy trying to smear Nixon he forgot to make an actual movie.

He was better with W. but, still, not the guy I would want doing a film about Bush Jr.

Savages was hot, buttered garbage too.

Nope.

Stallone was in GotG 2

Howard was in the post-credit scene of GotG 1

Getting old.

aren't we all? I mean, she's in her early 50s now

 

[calsnowskier]

I don’t remember that scene. I must have missed it.

I will need rewatch that movie.

 

[Godstree]

Isn't that where FUBAR comes from?

I was gonna say "FUBAR" came from this movie.

 

[Droopdog51]

Don't forget Samuel Jackson was in that movie too...

I was gonna say "FUBAR" came from this movie.

I know that was the first time I ever heard the term, but I never imagined they actually coined it.

I assumed it had a military origin, seeing as they have totally adopted it.

With Louis Anderson, just over his shoulder.

Forgot about Flash Gordon and Strange Brew and not one Ninja movie. But somehow Caveman with freakin Ringo Star makes the list

Fail. Delete thread. Ban User.

 

[Mecca]

How if the hell did this not make the list

Was this one already listed?

I had a thing for Billy Baldwin back in the day.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

I'm dismayed that nobody listed Raising Arizona.

I loved that movie.

I don't believe I ever saw that movie

Rock and Face/Off were great. Cage actually showed he could act in those movies.

But early and late Cage is cringe-worthy.

I thought he was just ok in the Ghost Rider movies as Johnny Blaze.

 

[Mecca]

I don't believe I ever saw that movie

It's a silly, slapstick comedy.

 

[PhilSimms11]

This is fun.

Yep it did. Kurt Russell was the one who came up with that zinger of a one-liner.
