Personally for me, a good movie is all about the script... I want poetic lines, delivery, and plot twist...
The 10 Commandments - The script is poetry and the delivery of the lines is amazing...
The Magnificent Seven - Yul Brenner, Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, no need to say more...
Forrest Gump - Story, great lines, amazing delivery
Love that movie. Except I hate Jenny
Why? She gave her son a great gift.
EDIT: Saw your answer. But Little Forrest had other friends.

You didn't list it but I remember once my mom forced me to watch Ben Hur and it felt like the worst four hours of my life.
And normally I love classic films. I have a whole collection of them on my own but I can just never get into that one lol
Ben Hur was great, but probably wouldn't make my top 10...
I know they're all guy movies...
So let's see, chick flix I liked hmm
I can't think of any lol...
Fried green tomatoes was a good movie, is that a chik flick?0 -

I probably would.
Yeah until she shows up 5 years later and wants you to raise her AIDS baby
If I had a dollar for every time that's happened to me.3 -

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.0 -

Hmmm I think I did pretty good0 -
Raising Arizona may be one of the best Cohen brother's movies and Nicolas Cage movies either has made. It is a comedy.2

basically i think there's a lot of great stuff from the 80's. I don't think the comedy genre in particular has ever gotten better since then at least. but i also just don't like it when people act like there's nothing great out there anymore either.
Yeah, there are still a lot of good movies out there being made or made recently. The Hangover comes to mind for comedy. Wet Hot American Summer would be another one.
I like a lot more comedies that have come out more recently then in the past. It's interesting to see how comedies have changed over time. For example, comedies from the 60's aren't the same kind of funny as comedies from now.1 -

Would you be angry if I told you I've only seen 19 of those movies?
No. I just hope that you are able to watch some of them, if not all of them. They are all entertaining to watch.0 -
