I notice the lack of 'Weird Science' for the mentioned movies. Any reason or am I the only one who thought that was a good movie
What about:
Total Recall (pulling that ball out through his nose....OUCH! :eek: )
Die Hard 1
Critters
There are movies in my head, just cant think of the names, I'll get back to this later

Ghostbusters! Gotta beee!
[Inspecting Dana's refrigerator for paranormal activity]
Dr. Peter Venkman: Oh my God. Look at all the junk food.
Dana Barrett: No. No, Dammit. Look this wasn't here...
Dr. Peter Venkman: You actually eat this?
Dana Barrett: No, this wasn't here. There was nothing here. There was this... space, with a building or something with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around it, and they were growling and snarling. And there were flames, and I heard a voice say "Zuul" I mean it was right here.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Well I'm sorry, I'm just not getting any reading.
Dana Barrett: Well are you sure you're using that thing correctly?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah, Its not... I mean I think so, but Im sure there are no animals in there.
Dana Barrett: This is great. Either I have a monster in my kitchen or I'm completely crazy.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [smiles] I don't think you're crazy.
Dana Barrett: [sarcastically] Oh good, that makes me feel so much better.
Gozer: [Evil voice] Are you a God?
Dr Ray Stantz: [Peter nods] No.
Gozer: Then... DIE!
[Electrocutes the Ghostbusters; pushing them to the edge of the apartment building; people screaming]
Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks if you're a God, you say "Yes"!
Dr. Peter Venkman: All right! This chick is TOAST!
Dr. Peter Venkman: [the team walks toward Gozer] Grab your sticks.
Ray, Egon, & Winston: HOLDING!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Heat 'um up!
Ray, Egon, & Winston: SMOKING!
Dr. Peter Venkman: [Gozer growls] Make 'um hard!
Ray, Egon, & Winston: READY!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Let's show this prehistoric bitch who we do thing downtown. THROW IT!
[Dana is at home doing exercises as she watches the news on television]
Roger Grimsby: Good morning, I'm Roger Grimsby. Today, the entire Eastern Seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurances have been reported across the entire Tri-State area.
Larry King: Hi, this is Larry King. The phone-in topic Today: "Ghosts and Ghostbusting." The controversy builds, more sightings are reported, some maintain that these professional paranormal eliminators in New York are the cause of it all.
Casey Kasem: Still making headlines all across the country, the Ghostbusters are at it again. This time, at the fashionable dance club, "The Rose." The boys in gray slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance. This is Casey Kasem. Now, on with the countdown.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Nimble little minx.
Dr. Egon Spengler: We better go at full speed.
Dr Ray Stantz: Aim for the flattop!
[Ghostbusters shoots at Gozer, but she disappears]
Dr. Peter Venkman: [proton guns shut off] Wasn't so bad.
Winston Zeddemore: Hey, wait a minute. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hold it. Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian God is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Sumerian, not Babylonian.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah. Big difference.
Winston Zeddemore: No offense, guys, but I've gotta get my own lawyer.
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
Man at Elevator: What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?
Dr. Peter Venkman: No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve.
Man at Elevator: That's gotta be some cockroach.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Bite your head off, man.
Dr Ray Stantz: [Entering elevator] Going up?
Man at Elevator: I'll take the next one.
[evaluating a site for their business]
Dr. Peter Venkman: What do you think, Egon?
Dr. Egon Spengler: I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.
Dr Ray Stantz: Hey. Does this pole still work?
[slides down a fireman's pole]
Dr Ray Stantz: Wow. This place is great. When can we move in? You gotta try this pole. I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey. We should stay here. Tonight. Sleep here. You know, to try it out.
[Venkman looks at Spengler. Spengler slowly shakes his head. Venkman turns to the real estate agent]
Dr. Peter Venkman: I think we'll take it.0 -

Does "Withnail & I" count? Always takes me right back to student life circa 1988. "I'm a trained actor reduced to the status of a bum!", "Why can't I get on television? The only program I'm likely to get on is the f-ing news", the "Camberwell carrot" etc 0

I think that was Mac And Me. Even as a kid I saw that as the cynical piece cinema that it was and I stayed far away from it.murfie wrote:And what was that other movie, a rip off of ET, with the aliens that whistle to talk. Can anyone remember this?
A favourite of mine was Repo Man.
It is Emilio Estevez's finest film of all time. It's about a bunch of different people all after this one car that contains dead aliens in the boot. It was very cool and very funny. Even the censored version that they would play on the BBC was great as they replaced phrases like "F*ck you, mother f*cker!" with "Flip you, melon farmer!"0 -

YES the best fantasy film ever. they never shouldve made the other ones cause all they do is dillute the first one. clancy brown was fecking terrifying as the kurgan
i still watch transformers the movie to this day, probably the most violent kids film of all time, i cant believe they got away with what they did. but i have to admit a fondness for the old john cusack films like "say anything" and "one crazy summer" absoulte genious stuff in fact comedies back then just seemed to be better than alot of the stuff comming out these days. anyone remember "revenge of the nerds"? now that was humour! 0 -
