80's Films

[Wez]

Uncle Buck was superb! and Ferris...........was quality.

But Aliens is the best 80's films, ahead of its time.

"I say we nuke the site from orbit."

Bill paxton "f**cking A"

Coming to America (1988)

Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones

 

[Italiaseagull]

The best bit in Coming to America

"God bless America"

"Hey buddy f*** you"

"Yes yes f*** you too"

The best bit in Coming to America

"God bless America"

"Hey buddy f*** you"

Oh to have a bird to do that every day.

And who says the 80s was just a time of big hair and shite music?
Trading Places, classic call. Trains, Planes and Automobiles must also get an honourable mention. On a different tangent altogether is Highlander - There can be only one!

Body Heat
Big Chill
Broadway Danny Rose
Hannah and Her Sisters
Unbearable Lightness of Being
My Beautiful Laundrette
Au revoir les Enfants
Raging Bull

see no evil hear no evil, planes trains and automobiles and road house. dalton is the man!

 

[Jim Byrne]

all absolute gems, my personal faves include The might Back 2 Future trilogy . . . how many hours of my youth were spent watching those!! Indianna Jones trilogy .. another legendary series that consumed a large proportion of my earlier years.

Ferris beuller . . legend . . . first time i saw this i was . . ironically. . faking ilness to get off goig to school! oh how i laughed .

Surely an honourable mention must go to Brewster's Millions !

LOL at that quote Wez. Yeah tinx, the Highlander sountrack makes that film 'One Year of Love(is better than a lifetime alone)' when he's drinking bourbon in the bar, and 'Who Wants to Live Forever' when Heather is an old woman but he's still young.
