    If I'm being honest a lot of the "classics" from the 80s I just don't give a *kitten* about

    had this convo with someone about horror movies the other day in fact. like there's a lot of good stuff from back then sure, but there's also a lot of garbage too. same way now imo- like there's been a lot of terrible movies, but also a ton of absolute great ones.

    the "classics" aren't always that good really. its mostly just people looking back with rose tainted glasses

    I consider these classics from the 80's. I think many of them stand the test of time and would still be enjoyable for generations. I am wondering if these are the movies you had in mind when thinking of classic 80's movies?

    The Goonies
    The Princess Bride
    Labyrinth
    Willow
    Legend
    The Never Ending Story
    The Dark Crystal
    ET
    Ghostbusters
    Die Hard
    Gremlins
    The Shining
    The Terminator
    Beverly Hills Cop
    Dirty Dancing
    Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi
    Blade Runner
    Aliens
    Beetlejuice
    Big Trouble in Little China
    Heathers
    Coming To America
    Poltergeist
    The Karate Kid
    48 Hours
    Indiana Jones movies
    Lethal Weapon 1 and 2
    Full Metal Jacket
    Caddyshack
    Heavy Metal
    Honey I Shrunk the Kids
    Little Shop of Horrors
    The Naked Gun
    Batman (original 1989)
    Big
    Overboard
    Dead Poets Society
    Do The Right Thing
    Hellraiser
    Platoon
    Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
    The Breakfast Club
    Back to the Future
    Star Trek II and IV
    When Harry Met Sally
    Blue Velvet
    Superman II
    Splash
    Raising Arizona
    The Little Mermaid
    Lean on Me
    Glory
    A Fish Called Wanda
    Raging Bull
    Rain Man
    Scareface
    Wall Street
    Spaceballs
    Trading Places
    Witness
    Field of Dreams
    Stand By Me
    The Color Purple
    Predator
    The Abyss
    Akira
    The Secret of NIMH
    An American Werewolf in London
    The Muppets Take Manhattan

    (to name a few)

    I'm aware the ones I listed are mostly in the comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, or action genres. I know I left out some great romance, drama, and horror genre movies.

    IMO I think the overall quality and number of good movies that came out in the 80's has not been surpassed yet by any other decade since and maybe before.

    @MeeseeksAndDestroy I'm just curious which ones of those you have seen, I know you already answered for some.

    all but 8 of them

    Let me help make it easier. Go see every Coen Brothers movie and anything by John Hughes.

    Then you'll be cool like me.

    I don't know any of those people. I'm a mole woman.

    yeah, watch (almost) every Coen Brothers movie ever made.

    start with: Blood Simple

    For some reason, I've never seen this.
    Or Goonies.
    Or A Christmas Story.

    Omg. You need to watch all those. Goonies is a fave.

    I think I have to agree with this. You at least need to watch Goonies.

    Do you like cookie butter?

    I ate a lot of fried foods today. I was craving something fried and battered when I woke up.

    don't believe the hype about Goonies. way too many scenes with the kids screaming and talking over each other. kinda grating as an adult.

    Urgh the Goonies..the chubby kid really got on my nerves
