Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm 1 year older than you. We couldn't afford to go to the pictures when I was a kid so we had to wait til films were on telly. Goonies, Karate Kid, Rambo, Flight of the Navigator, Labyrinth, Princess Bride, Indiana Jones, Willow, ET, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Masters of the Universe ..... If you weren't watching these films as a kid in the 80s then you're the weird one, not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26162 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Out of that list I've seen Willow, Ghostbusters and Gremlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born in 1989 and I've seen most of those just on TV as a kid, nevermind re-watching the cult classics again as an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13956 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Even I've seen about half of them and I used to sit in my room reading atlases instead of watching telly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19728 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Not that i want to side with J69 either but that's a canny list of 80s movies, with masters of the universe being an obvious exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26601 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Goonies, = watched. Shite. Karate Kid, = watched. Shite. Rambo, = watched, ok at the time. Flight of the Navigator, = never seen it. Labyrinth, = saw a bit of it. Utter shite. Princess Bride, = Saw a bit of it, lasses film tbh. Indiana Jones, = watched Raiders of the lost ark, excellent, temple of doom not quite as good as the first but still canny enough. Willow, = what? ET, = watched. Very good. Ghostbusters, = watched. Canny enough at the time. Wouldn't have aged well. Gremlins, = watched. Average at best. Masters of the Universe. = Are you for fucking real? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the rest may I be the first to say, how very dare you sir! Although ironically, given the poster, most of these probably only hold up under the influence of some serious narcotics.

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Not to derail but I watched that Patrick Melrose recently and it's fantastic. Bendybus Cabbagepatch is a great actor when he's not being asked to recite shitty-arsed dialogue by whatever fraud wrote Sherlock. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerosum 234 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Predator was my fave 80s film I think. Closely followed by full metal jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Commando is the undisputed champ of highly enjoyable, cack action movies. It takes on an added dimension when you’re pissed as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6129 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Courtney Cox's finest work tbh. It might have been a smidge better if they didn't blow the budget before dubbing Dolph Lundgren out of it. The rest are 80s classics, I'd add Short Circuit, Big, and the first two Police Academy. The latter are surely utter shite but still iconic. Oh, Back to the Future as well. Class.

Gemmill 34166 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have any of you dickheads watched Queer Eye yet? I'm telling you, its life affirming shit. @Renton you're circling the drain at the minute with worries about Brexit. Let the queer eye lads plug your drain hole.

David Kelly 1115 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Big Trouble In Little China is another 80's classic along with everything John Hughes did (apart from Home Alone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
