Scott pilgrim vs the world
Sounds like a book. I already don't like it.
OH MY GOD it is based on a comic and it finished filming BEFORE the comic finished it's run, Micheal Cera's second best movie, Chris evens and a douchey action hero movie actor, cheesey video game graphics(well done also) a fantastic songlist, AND it has Mae Whitman fighting Mary Elizabeth Winstead if you are not sold get over it and watch it.
I like that movie a lot. But it may be more for gamers and guys.

What? No Full Metal Jacket?
Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
.... I'll be watching you!
Is that the movie this man is from? I recognize him from an Army movie but I never saw the whole thing
That is not a man; that is a god.
That is Senior Drill Instructor Hartman (played by Lee Ermey) of the Marines. (the Marines are different from the Army).
This role pretty much launched his career. He had been in some small roles (Apocalypse Now) prior to Full Metal Jacket and had worked as an advisor on films of the military genre. He was hired as an advisor for this film and did such an awesome job preparing the actors for this picture that the director made a last minute switch and cast Ermey into this role. The actor originally slated to play D.I. Hartman appears in the film as a door gunner on a helicopter.
Lee Ermey is a former Marine D.I., hence his role in Full Metal Jacket is so believable....and awesome.
Full Metal Jacket was directed by Stanley Kubrick and was filmed just outside of London.2 -

Consistency is key, and NEVER think that money is there...even when it might be desperately needed. You got this and you will thank your young self once you are older.4 -

Awesome, like Tim said stay consistent with it especially since you're starting it while you're younger. May not seem like you're putting a lot in there but compounding interest is tits.2 -

Fargo
Tootsie is good. Earlier version of Mrs Doubtfire.0 -

I'm kinda obsessed with Roseanne reruns. I am embarrassed to admit how many times I've watched those episodes over and over (and over ...) Though I confess I like the earlier seasons best, towards the end she was more crabby/b-tchy than funny.2

The problem with movies today is that Hollywood tries to sell everything on special effects, that still don't look real anyway...
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 delivery1 -

You know more often than not I would agree with you about someone like her...
But IC, Jenny just had this appeal that I can't quite put my finger on but was definitely there... One of the most appealing female roles ever... Lol
Don't hate me, remember no judging 0 -

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 -

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 -
