Damn Jibby! Very impressive list but shame on you pal! You left out several other iconic comedies of the 80's! Revenge of the Nerds (1984), Weekend at Bernie's (1989), Caddyshack (1980), Spaceballs (1987), and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)!

Honorable Mention: Can't buy me love (1987)

I also mentioned Indiana Jones (80's), Tales from the Crypt (80's), The Natural (1984), and Willow (1988)...and Packerd and I thoroughly discussed Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

JIBBBY · 07-31-23, 12:37 PM

Old Bill was certainly off on the 80's movie list. He's old cut him some slack. LOL.

I got Star wars wrong but all others I mentioned were in the 80's.

I may watch it again tonight just for the giggles and kicks.. ; )

Most underrated movie from the 80's

Da Manster! · 07-31-23, 12:57 PM

Another underrated Clint Eastwood movie from the 80's was Pale Rider (1985)! Basically a spinoff from his Western classic "High Plains Drifter" (1973) where he basically saves a town of cowards from a greedy land developer and his goonish henchmen..."There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory!"...one of the most iconic movie lines from that era!

Alright then let’s do it. I’m gonna double check every single movie you posted.

And Justice For All: 1979

Rounders: 1998

Wall Street: 1987 (this is the only one from the 80s)

Wolf Of Wall Street: 2013. Two thousand fukkin thirteen my guy

Falling Down: 1993

A Few Good Men: 1992

Goodfellas: 1990

Bronx Tale: 1993

Good movies. Not from the 80s.

texhooper · 07-31-23, 03:00 PM

You wanna watch a good 80s movie, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. RIP!

OldBill · 07-31-23, 04:13 PM

aahhhhhhfawkkkkkkk it so what they were not all from 80's

packerd_00 · 07-31-23, 04:13 PM

Anyone else a fan of American Ninja?

Da Manster! · 07-31-23, 04:26 PM

another iconic photo from the 80's! on the movie set of "Conan the Destroyer" (1984)...Andre, Arnold, and Wilt!...Arnold was 6'2 and weighed 250lbs. of solid muscle mass. look at how both Andre and Wilt literally dwarf him!...even in Schwarzenegger's own words on his twitter account..."#tbt to one of the rare moments I felt completely puny, with Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant. I absolutely loved the HBO documentary on Andre this week and it was an honor to be part of it. He was bigger than life."

andre with a beer can in his hand!...SMH!!

Some of my favorite 80's movies

Casablanca
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Matrix
Batman Begins + The Dark Knight
Pootie Tang

JIBBBY · 07-31-23, 07:56 PM

^ The OG Matrix was solid but that movie was released in the 90's..

The comedy PORKY'S and REVENGE of the NERDS were decent back in the 80's.

JIBBBY · 07-31-23, 08:00 PM

Devo was a solid band back in the 80's also, I always thought they made this song off the movie..

Another FANTASTIC Stephen King flick is The Dead Zone from 1983. Greg Stillson(Martin Sheen) sort of reminds me of someone, but I can't quite think of who??

I think I first saw this movie when I was around 13 or so. I loved it. I watched it again a couple of years ago and I liked it even more as an adult. I HIGHLY recommend this movie!

Yes, of course, Casablanca. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet. Is that John Hughes? I think Molly Ringwald played Ilsa Lund.

Btw, I forgot to mention, that QoTSA cover of Never Say Never is killer!

JohnGalt2341 · 07-31-23, 09:20 PM

Maybe this was the "...And Justice For All" OldBill was talking about from 1988. Good song, great album!

Glad you liked it. Def one of my favorite covers. The deluxe version of the album Rated R has that song and a whole bunch of other good tracks including a bunch of songs that were performed live at the Reading Festival in 2000.

Since we're on the 80's here's a solid cover of an 80's classic

I thought 'The Maltese Falcon' was better.
A who's who of Hall of Fame actors.

You've got your Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre.
Not to mention the stunning Mary Astor.
I heard a rumor that Old Bill was pegging Mary Astor on the side.
Get in here Billy Boy could you please verify this?

Nice! One of my favorite bands Hot Water Music recorded an ep with Alkaline Trio. My favorite song from that ep is HWM's cover of "Radio" by Alkaline Trio. This isn't from the 80's, but somebody somewhere probably thinks it is so...

Thanks for the post.
What a trio.
Great to see Wilt getting some respect.

Oh I’ve noticed. I just finally broke. That quote was in Galt’s post btw

texhooper · 08-01-23, 03:13 PM

Sosa and McGwire, what a classic 80s battle. Can’t believe no one mentioned that until now. Nothing defined baseball in the 80s more than the classic Sosa/McGwire home run battle of 1998

Mark McGwire won rooking of the year in 1986 pal..

texhooper · 08-01-23, 03:54 PM

Yes Mark McGwire was alive in the 80s. You got me there. I’m sure when lakerboy started an 80s thread he was counting the minutes before someone posted a pic of Sosa and McGwire from 1998. Thank god you came along with that one

Tex you are a sarcastic SOB but I like ya! Cheers to the 80's and 90's then.. Lol.

Spuds MacKenzie definitely 80s, nice bounceback

stevenash · 08-01-23, 05:14 PM

JohnGalt2341 · 08-01-23, 07:52 PM

This one is for texhooper(his avatar that is). When I was a teen, I worked at a video store that wasn't particularly busy. So, I spent most of my time watching 80's movies when working alone, which was most of the time. I remember putting in the movie below once and the Manager made some wise crack about how terrible it was. Fukk her! And Rotten Tomatoes! I like this movie! It's from 1989... so it makes the cut.

I just stumbled across this. I definitely agree!

packerd_00 · 08-01-23, 07:58 PM

Back when commercials were fun. Mac Tonight was classic 80's.
