The eighties had so many great movies. Seriously, that was THE decade for awesome movies.
I think just about all of mine have been covered, so I will mention just a few that I haven't seen listed yet, in no particular order of preferance,
- The Wrath of Kahn (seems like it is becoming unpopular to like this one these days, all I can say is screw it! I love this movie!)
- The Evil Dead II (ultimate comedy horror, no matter how down I am, this movie always puts me in a good mood. Maybe because it depicts people having a far worse day than I have ever had.)
- Full Metal Jacket (can't believe this one wasn't on anyone's list already, at the risk of sounding like a first year film student, Kubrick is the man!)
-Brazil
These have already been mentioned, but yeah, Blade Runner, Alien, and Stand By Me (reminds me of life as a 12 year old boy, which is flipping awesome! I feel sorry for women, since they never get to experience this brilliant stage of human existence), are definitely three of my all time favorite films.
Also, I hesitate to even mention Red Dawn, since I don't really consider it that high quality of a movie, but I still enjoy, perhaps just the premise more than anything. If any foreign powers ever invade the United States, you'll know where to find me...
