In at number 10, Michael J Fox in The Concierge.

Turns out they mixed up the envelopes...oh dear.
But it's ok, the guy who he bought some cheapo jewellery for and stuff, fancies building his hotel anyway.
...and I think he got the girl too.

They don't make em like that anymore.

St Elmo's Fire! love the brat pack movies of the 80's.

wot about 'mannequin' for numero 9

shop dummy comes alive and falls for some bratpack type awful actor

that's not naff though - it's good!

good call.  Andrew McCarthy.  And Kim Cattral was the dummy.

Back to the Future  was/is brill, I think it is really clever! but thats just me :)

Oh and Wierd Science :D

Number 8 - Flashdance?

Turns out The Concierge was made in 1993...Doh

It had an 80s "feel" to it though. Can it still count?

if Michael J fox was in it it counts. 

Talking of which....number 7: Teen Wolf

Darn good shout  ;applause;

With some cheesey soundtrack to go with.

Nothing's Going to Stop us now by Starship.

Teen wolf was a blinder by the way people!!!!!!

I vaguely remember a second one though where he was a boxer, if this isnt a sequel i just made up then from what i remember it was soooooooooooo bad.

Nooooo, this isn't about sucky films. It's about kick-ass "I loved that when i was younger" feel-good nostalgia balgia, chicks and puppy dogs love em films.

Got that sorted? Good.

Stick your Don't You Forget About Me Club where the sun don't shine and lets get down to buisness.

The wanderes is the WORST  film ive ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont get it  :dontask:



care to explain? :o

And ws that not made in the 70's?

Big Brother was definately watching that Shetland Pony, on second thoughts  I think that was Animal Farm 2?

Dunno when it was made, but I remember watching it in 81,82,83,84,85,86,87 bored by 88

Maybe my favorite film

I was subjected to at least 80 showings of this film once at a holiday camp. It still holds painful memories  :D

Top Gun ( 1986 )   

Days of Thunder ( 1990 ).  Tank was allowed one non 80's movie and my choice beats his by three years   " Theres nothing I can't do in a race car " 

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Pretty in Pink yet... (Or argued that Andie should end up with Ducky)


But what is really REALLY insulting, is that no-one has mentioned the ultimate 80's CLASSIC that is......



Hawk The Slayer

Wilt was a feel good movie

and Blot on the Landscape

Adrian Mole aged 13 and three quarters. Still didn't get to see Pandora's Box??

LOL

this post put me in the mood for some 80;s tunes..tried a website


and first up it's john parr and St elmos's fire........Class

I have the soundtrack on CD!!!!

No shit, i been breakdancing for the last hour  :D

Already wrecked the coffe table :(

hope it was made with formica


classic 80's material

fookin Rubix Cube

I've given up, and am now rearranging the stickers.

whoa..now we r talking



PACMAN

Both 1979

We'd better stop before we get the ZX Spectrum out.

Dik9 can only take so much excitement.

RUBBER KEYS OR PLASTIC


lol

It a special plastic, goes moldy faster than any other plastic.

Spectrum pish

Commodore 64 for me

and the coffe table was oak, although i think I have damaged a few Black Formica tables, usually in rooms with Grey Black and Red Curtains

Some good shouts already such as but I can't believe nobody hasn't yet mentioned the all time classic Dirty Dancing.

Needs to be considered just for Patrick Swayze's mullet  :D

Someone change that mans name to thedicegirl  ;D

I had the best collection of cabbage patch stickers 8)

i used to collect erasers

anyone else do this?

Along with beer mats and towels.

this post has been hijacked into deniis nordens 80's nostalgia extravaganza


its   grreeeeeeeeaaaattt





ATARI VCS 2600  ( with teak finish )

What can I say, I love my chick flicks  :D

In my defence I did correct dik9 that both the Warriors and the Wanderers were released in 1979 and not the 80's. The fact that the Warriors is my favourite film and I have every version of the film, a copy of the original scipt, completed the xbox on every level and own numerous pieces of memorabilia hopeful saves me from the title dicegirl  :D

Come out and playeaaaaaa

Sorry for insulting you , but i never saw it until the eighties.  :blonde:

Isn't it amazing how an 80s film thread quickly degenerates into

1) anything from the eighties

2) any film from the seventies as well, even porn

3) any TV show from the seventies

4) any computer games from the eighties

Not to mention the fact that I can't work out if we're listing films we love, films we hate, or films we love to hate.


Ok...

NAFF-ish eighties films we love to hate:

Red Sonja (Schwarzenegger: "I can't kill it, it's made of metal!")

Ladyhawke (Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer)

Krull... (nuff said)

---

btw.. did anyone seriously suggest that 'Brazil' was a bad film?  straight red for that one :redcard:

Films I also love to hate, but also love: David Lynch's Dune. So much about it is good, and also so much about it is also downright awful.

E.G. Francesca Annis, Patrick Stewart and Brad Dourif...  ;tightend;

BUT: Sting, The Beast Rabban and the guy who played Baron Harkonnen ...  ;tracet;


I could go on, probably will... you can try and stop me but you might have to get out the restraints.

Do we have to give a little respect to you now?  8)


Ok, but don't let us catch you doing the washing up.

RRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRROUNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDD



with mike wotshisface ( the cocknet geezer found in late 90's eastenders)

I probably saw it on Beta Max after it's release :D

I, Zimbra , you are such a purist :D I am nostalging :D

btw.. did anyone seriously suggest that 'Brazil' was a bad film?  straight red for that one


no zimbra


its one of my faves


but its not really feel good as tank intended

It's the opposite of feel-good, and all the better for it!

lol... it's so true...

80's films!

Anything with Corey Feldman in it. He was my hero when I was about 8 or so...  ;scarymoment;

agreed

reminds me

i gotta get time bandits special edition


u gotta love gilliam's  work


u see that documentary on his failed don quixote movie??  compulsive viewing

Don't worry bhoy, the thread can do as it pleases without upsetting me now.

It has sereved it's purpose, I now wish I was seven  8)

Yep, and  ;iagree;

He's one of those directors, I will watch anything he does.

Classic line but don't get me started for I shall start quoting a number of classic lines from the Warriors:

We're going in there with nothing. Were going in there like everybody else, nine guys, no weapons.
And Ajax's classic line "I'm going to shove that bat up your arse and turn you into a popsicle"


I'm not at all insulted, I'm just guilty of being a Warriors anorak  :D

Has anybody seen the films the Bronx Warriors 1 & 2, a poor mans version of the Warriors. Surely these qualify as naff but I'm not so sure about feel good.

he looks closer to 180 ;tk;

it is meandering a little


just like in the 80's when we played outdoors for till darktime,playing kick the bottle n stuck in 3rd gear on my grifter

creamola foam,kola bottles...........



errrr



goodnite all


think ive took that too far now

oooh, Eddie Murphy, Coming To America

"The royal penis is clean your highness"

We'll bung Beverly Hills Cop in for good measure

Did you have to dismantle the handlebars to get your colours back on your Grifter? Hang on that was the 70's as well? My mates all had Choppers, but I could go scrambling, whilst all they could do was give decent Backies.

Coming to America - another classic!

I love it because Eddie's actually not really playing himself.. like he does in everything else he's been in. Almost.

James Earl Jones ===  ;tightend;

John Amos ===  ;tightend;  ;tightend;  ("This is America, Jack - Say another word about Lisa, and I'll break my foot off on your Royal ass!")

Officer and a Gentleman .... guaranteed knicker loosener :)   now where did i put that white uniform ??

Tank dont start mate, you led off with a film from the 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Has anybody mentioned Gergory's Girl, truly naff but feel good. Well Clare Grogan made me feel good  :-*

top bird

bit mouldy now though

It was a deliberate mistake, in place to weed out the real 80's fanatics.

OK YA GOT ME!!!

whooooooooosh for me then.

Rita sue and bob too

hang on a minute, wasn't it you that ended up pointing it out........ cough cough!

Return of the Living Dead was truly naff but hardly qualifies as feel good  :D

Ok kids, fess up.

Who taught bolt how to read?

Rita Sue & bob too!!

The Golden Child and trading Places were good eddie Murphy movies I thought.

Moving with richard Pryor

The colour of money, fast eddie makes his comeback.

Transformers The movie!!  

Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure, " Be Excellent to each other & Party On Dudes!!"

Crocodile Dundee " that Shelia's a Bloke"

What about 9 1/2 weeks, truly naff but had a certain feel good factor about it. I however suspect it's feel good factor is not quite in the same context as it was meant in this threads title  :o

The late learners reading course for beginners if you must know.

I'm up to book 9, Danny the dinosaur, he's one crazy dinosaur!!!!!! ;D

The Dead Zone the Movie, first showing of the talent that Christopher walken has

What number I'm I thinking?

This film is a classic and can't be included on a naff list. I remember watching it on a late night viewing, after midnight, after a heavy drinking session. There was only two mates and I and two girls in the whole cinema which is just as well considering the amount of noise we made due to laughing so much. I remember telling everybody I met for the next month about this great film and encourging everybody to go and see it.

Thats on the good list its a must have/see/rent movie

He also loves....San Dimas

awwwwwwwwww

great film


but the deerhunter

cmon billy

Is Transformers the movie also on your must have/see/rent list  :D :D :D lol

omg, ive not heard of any of these films at all!! Ok, it might be something to do with me only being 18 - but come on!

I found Walkens performance in the deer hunter pales in comparrison to the Dead Zone, you only saw 2 sides of the character, where as in TDZ he goes through every emotion, joy to fear, fear to panic, panic to sorrow and so on.

I just think that TDZ shows more of his ability and range, The deer hunter was de Niro's movie anyways!

Yes it is, I happen to have it on VHS, I just dont have a VHS player anymore!!

Section that man  :D

Then again I've just purchased H.R.PufnStuf so guess I'm just as guilty.

i was getting mistaken with the twilight zone...dont ask me why..lol



yeah this is a good film

he shakes hands with martin sheen..who becomes president and presses the button,,,,,for then end of the world

yup he played that role well

Your are missing on many classic films. I love films from both the late the 70's and 80's and much prefer them to the high tech crap that Hollywood currently curns out to make a quick buck. You just need to see the number of remakes to realise how much better films use to be.

I know it's not 80's but I've just seen a poster for the new Wickerman remake. I understand the hollywood suits have recreated it as taking place in a Canadian village and not a Scotish island. Damn you hollywood, hope it's not as bad as the Italian Job remake.

Who would believe you could babque a mountie??  They are too damn smart to get in that big wicker monster.

Do you know must be pissed off. Jill Murphy.

She wrote a heap of books in the 80s about an all girls Witch school. The Worst Witch.

Then that JK Rowling lady comes along and makes billions upon billions ripping it off.

The original though, why didn't it flourish more. I mean it was an all girls wizard school, all girls, all girls, all girls wizard school.

With an underdog, unlikely heroin type character.

And it was set in an all girls school ffs.

How the hell is that not a winning formula.

Timing, that's what it must be. Bad timing.

That and the freemasons  ;tk;

Can't believe no-one from Scotland has mentioned Restless Natives - 2 Scots geeks robbing tourist buses in a wee 125cc motorbike with stuff knocked from a joke shop.

Best Soundtrack EVER as well

can't believe  Terminator hasn't been mentioned "ill be back"
or what about  Lost Boys with the fantastic soundtrack and cool little girl called Star

or Police Academy with Mahoney :)  quality
Cannonball run with that big monkey
Ghostbusters  "who u gonna call"

Breakfast club and top gun still my favs

gotta admit

great film

'come back here ya fannnnyyy'



terrible non-admission


i even seen it twice at the pics...

What about Bill Forsyths first (& best) film That Sinking Feeling, absolutely hilarious.

Rod if you haven't watched this I urge you to, if you have shame on you for forgetting it  ;tk;

A few more:

Trading Places
Inner Space
The Outsiders (my fave film, not sure how it scores on the 'feelgood' scale though)

Oh - and Some Kind of Wonderful.  Was that 80s?

I've never even heard of it - but will look out for it now - (still won't beat Restless Natves - the soundtrack gives RN too big a lead).

What about howard the duck, and over the top.

I enjoyed very much the cinematography in the 80's classic the Maltese falcon

Naked Gun and the sequels

wow v cool thread.

lost boys and ferris bueler's day off sprung to mind but both have been mentioned so I'll go for herbie goes bananas.

By the way in Deerhunter I think Walken puts de niro in the shade which is some achievement.

has anyone mentioned this one yet?

Cool runnings!

Deer Hunter is absolute quality and not to be underestimated. The mighty Walken has had some rare moments in his career, this was certainly one of them. The film itself is utterly unbelieveable of course, but so well acted and stylised that I pretty much don't care that the story makes no sense...


I have been saying this for years!

Worst Witch was brilliant, all Rowling did was make it co-ed....

I saw a bit of this again recently, I have to agree - naff but enjoyable!


Oooh, I almost forgot:

naff but feel-good eighties movies:

DARYL

Cocoon


(A Barrett Oliver double bill there)

most have been mentioned, flight of the navigator and wizard with fred savage where his we bother in the film is a master at acrade games that was pretty good

I was going to say Flight of the Navigator too but couldn't remember what it was called!

There was another similiar film to called Explorers I think.

And lets not forget Stand by Me

praise silence for...

(http://davidbowie1847.homestead.com/files/Labyrinth/DavidBowie.jpg)

Cool thread 8)

No-one has yet mentioned Aliens.  Top film of the 80's..... or Empire Strikes Back...... Return of the Jedi

Feel good movies:
Batteries Not Included
Driving Miss Daisy

Feel good tear jerker from the 80s - Always starring Richard Dreyfuss & Holly Hunter.

My ex wife loved his film (ironicly!!!), & would blub away, I do seem to remember I had an irritation in my eye, that may have looked like I also shed a tear  :D

yeah makes me cry too :(

Me too  ;hide;

What is Joe Verses the Volcano like?   Is it any good.   It is on TV soon, I may watch it.

just watched the Burds on ITV there.......fekkin quality, brings back to my childhood, i used to love that film years ago

youve missed his best movie - "Stir Crazy" pure class!

sooooo true, lost boys is still one of my fav film ever cant believe i missed it out!

when?

dont think my fav film of all time has been mentioned, brewsters millions...class....also top secret deserves a mention

Ultimate in naff - Masters of the universe....lol

airplane
american flyers
all the right moves
big trouble in little china
dead poets society
repo man
see no evil,hear no evil
the wraith

 ;hide; sorry no more

All superb


Dreadful, not a film Kevin Spacey probably quotes on his otherwise impressive resume.

First saw repo man many years ago on bbc2 when they had this film buff presenting cult films.

Didn't even realise that Kevin Spacey was in that, so many years since I last saw it

BBC2 did a great yearly season of cult films, called 'Moviedrome', that I inevitably looked forward to. Its presenter was none other than "Repo Man"'s director, Alex Cox!


It's a great 'Before he was famous' moment, sort of like Working Girl. He's the ostensibly English villain who's trying to hunt Pryor and Wilder down. (The film certainly predates the recent trend for Hollywood hiring voice coaches, and actors actually being able to get the accents right).

escape to victory has to be the greatest xmas movie of all time

give me the ball i do this , this , this , this , goal

and how has no-one mentioned the italian job

you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!!!!

first post in about a week, only to say two words...

"Soul Man"

what a load of shit

I decided not to mention the Italian Job on the basis that it was made in 1969 so hardly qualified as an 80's film  ::)

If you include the remake, and take an average, they're both 80's films.  8)

it the case of the itaian job i have seen it 80 times and it has been repeated 80 times on tv other than that its a film 13 years before its time

I just bought time bandits  special edition

gonna get the kids to watch this with me


I hope they appreciate it,i loved it as a kid

I remember being absolutely horrified by the ending, though.

"But Dad, what happens to the boy? where's he going to live?"

 ;scarymoment;

[I maintain that despite the main character being a child, it's not a kids' film... ]

Action Jackson

Escape From New York

Not exactly feel good, but thought I would chuck 'em in the mix.

Trading Places ::)

Beetlejuice

I would say Wynona stole the show, but I don't want to get her in trouble.

sorry Laz but by my count thats 18 words  8)

priceless homour matey, sadly tho i suspect it wont be understood to its full glory!

Just seen that film 4 are showing the classic "Repo Man" this Friday 11:30ish. I had planned to purchase the DVD this w/e but glad to get the chance to see it first and see if it is still as good as I remember.

I remember it as being utterly bonkers but also compelling, probably because it complies to the legendary "Stanton-Walsh rule"  :D

Not read much of this, so apologies if going over old ground.

Dawn of the Dead

Zombies in the Shopping Mall type thing.

Rambo.

regards

M

Dawn of the Dead is the best of all George A Romero "the dead" films. Watched the remake last night and as remakes go it pretty good. Sorry to point out it was actually a 70's film, released in 1978. It's interesting how many 70's films have been mentioned in this thread. Personally I think many classic films were made in the late 70's before everything had to be made into a blockbuster.

Can't wait for this weekend to see what Hollywood has done to the Wickerman. 

Can't wait for Am dreading this weekend to see what Hollywood has done to the Wickerman...

::)

I've previously slated Hollywood for all it's recent cash cow remakes such as the awful Italian Job and Assault on Precinct 13. I also fear the worse for the remake of the Wickerman as this is one of my favourite films of all time. Guess I just keen to see what the have produced.

Now what I am really dreading is the proposed MTV remake of my all time favourite film the Warriors.  :redcard:

I fear the worst whenever I hear the word 'remake', regardless of context.

(Many times bitten, very very shy.)

I also fear the worst when I hear the words 'Cage' and 'Nicolas', so when you put it all together.... ???

Whilst not a huge fan of Mr Cage I did like him in 8mm. I rented 8mm 2 last weekend and was very disappointed. Yet again a low budget sequel created just to cash in on the success of the first film.

he is fit though

i loved the latest Italian Job, it was class!

1978

I'm that old!

Will take a look myself, cant remember that much about it tbh

The thing that made the original Italian Job so good was the classic car action. However in the Hollywood remake there is only about 5 mins worth of mini action. The remake is awful IMO when you compare the two films against eachother.
