"V for Vendetta"

I went into this one cold, with no prior knowledge of story or who was even going to be in it.  Loved it!  I just love discovering films like this by accident.

 

"Big Trouble in Little China"  

Very fun 80's film. Lot's of people just don't get the joke, but I'm glad I do.

"Stripes" (1981)

Watched this last night with a friend who had never seen it.  I always felt it was funner then "Ghostbusters". 
Wut.

It's pretty funny but it really loses steam once they graduate. And it's not in the same league with Ghostbusters.

 

I see your point.  With "Ghostbusters" I hated that song! That song was a true cringe moment in and out of the film for me. It was so overplayed on radio and MTV all that year. Must be that it was the over saturation of the marketing that has left me with a negative memory of that film. Same thing with "E.T.", the film would have been a better memory for me if not for the over marketing.  In "Ghostbusters", that mash mellow guy was one of the few times that I had a sincere gut busting laugh at a theater.

 Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8

A 1987 historical docudrama made by HBO, telling the true story of the trial of 8 protest leaders of the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago.  Lots of big name stars, and the script is based on the actual court records.  The real life defendants are shown commenting about the trial via short clips (done in 1986/87) that are injected a various points into the film.  This is another film that is very hard to find, and that should be shown in schools as a requirement.

The hit song "Chicago (we can change the world)" by Graham Nash is based on events surrounding this trial.
