Amazon Women on the Moon
Big Trouble in Little China
Blade Runner
Bloodsport
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Shaolin vs. Ninja
They Call Me Bruce
They Still Call Me Bruce
The Three Clones of Bruce Lee
Transformers The Movie

...and every other movie listed so far, especially Aliens, The Goonies, The Untouchables, and the Brat Pack flicks.

I also want to find out the name of an HK movie from the 80s that starred a character named Dogegg. It was a touching martial arts movie about an orphan boy, his sister, and a funky sports martial arts tournament.

Hey, you didn't ask for good movies, you asked for personal favorites. ^_____^

MAJOR EDIT: How could I forget to list Best of the Best? No filet mignon for me tonight, I haven't earned it.

[Duo_Maxwell]

Running Man...classic Arnold...see also the Conan movies and Total Recall (even though it was techinically 1990). Another good one, the first Batman movie w/ keaton.

Edit: And Spaceballs

[daikaiju]

One Crazy Summer


Bobcat Goldthwait + Godzilla Suit = Classic

[Mustang O-Line 75]

I hate Anthony Michael Hall. (and Robert Downey Jr.)

Oh man, how did I forget: Spinal Tap.

[BigLebowski]

Better Off Dead, or any other early John Cusack movies. Fandango with Kevin Costner is a great one. Weird Science, National Lampoon's Vacation, and, most importantly, FLETCH...

Predator
Robocop
Batman
Red Dawn
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket

Top Secret! underrated movie IMO
Monster Squad - I watched this movie when I was in grade school and was scared shitless. I watched it a few years later and realized how ridiculous it was

[Tricky]

Flashdance
Breakin'

[EnderA6]

[pacifickarma]

Better Off Dead, Night of the Comet, The Princess Bride, The Last Starfighter, Flight of the Navigator, The Neverending Story

[xboxowns]

The Toxic Avenger. Absolutely mandatory viewing for any fan of B movies, as well.

[darthbudge]

WTF is wrong with you Ow3n? This is like the 4th or 5th 4 year old thread you have bumped.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Gotta get some of that Beverly Hills Cop, yo.

[hobocorpses]

Let's not forget Police Academy 1-4...classic stuff.

[cindersphere]

I love these 4 year old thread bumpings. To add flame to the fire hackers was 90's. Best 80's movie was of course a scorcese film, The Last Temptation of Christ.

[Simon D I]

Everything mentioned here was awesome, but Goonies definitely personified the 80's, man.

When it looked COOL to have a bunch of teens hangin around listening to Cyndi Lauper...you know it was the 80's!!!

[Bathory]

Coming to America. I'm sure it was released in the late 80s.

[CouRageouS]

What the hell? And here I thought punqsux was back for 2.0. Tomorrow someone's going to bump a BigNick Olsen Twin thread.

[supermodestmouse]

didn't see it mentioned, but ghostbusters ^^ 2 was weak, but 1 was good
(taht sega genesis game was HARSH!!!)

i love the cusack movies (especially better off dead)

and who could forget the naked gun ^^

and of course the downward spiraling...RAMBO I, Rambo I: Part II, and Rambo III

and rambo's alter-ego: Rocky (well, at least the good ones where he fights Mr. T and the Russian)

[kaptinmorgan]
