    Ok lads and ladies. What was your favourite 80's movie? We're talking about Flight of the Navigator, The Goonies, Batteries Not Included, Little Shop of Horrors, ET, The Karate Kid, Short Circuit... etc.

    Mine was definately The Goonies, with Short Circuit a close second. I'm a big 80's movie fan :)

    used to love that great 80's icon -Chevy Chase, so anything he was in, loved it.

    But for pure unadulterated action- had to be the Terminator, or Tango and Cash.

    Weird Science (mmm, Kelly le Broc) and Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks. both still classics.

    Hmm.. soo many memories...

    Back To The Future (gotta love the car)
    Any of the Eddie Murphy films (Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, Coming to America)
    Wall Street ("Greed...is good!")
    The Running Man (if only for Killion's reply to Arnie's "I'll be back!" - "only in a rerun!" :D Most Arnie films of this era were good though. except the Conan series)
    Top Gun (and Days of Thunder - exact same film except cars = planes)

    This Is Spinal Tap

    1984 was a vintage year!

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off was not too bad either.

    Breakfast Club
    The Lost Boys
    Back to the Future
    The Goonies
    Indiana Jones
    Ferris Bueller's Day Off

    These would all top my list.

    Ferris Bueller is the stand out classic, but who could possibly forget

    Catholic Boys?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones
