Watched "The Breakfast Club" (a classic!) and "St. Elmo's Fire" with Herself over the weekend. Haven't laughed so much in ages - mostly at the hair!!

What's your favourite?

Some great movies there!

Repo Man is always intense

And what can you say about Blue Velvet (neighbour).

They definitely don't make 'em like that anymore.

Conan is an under-rated classic. Aliens*, Terminator, Indiana Jones etc. All great movies. Empire Stikes Back too.

Don't want to change the rules (it's all good!) but I was originally thinking more along the lines of John Waters / Brat Pack movies.

For me, it's all about that 80s hair! :cool:

Haven't seen these : Foxes, Out Of The Blue, Fast Times At Ridgemont High (nlgbbbblth's mentioned them) but will try and dig them up.

Trading Places and The Blues Brothers deserve mentions of course.

They really definitely don't make 'em like that anymore!!

Mask is 1994 according to imdb.com!

* Still prefer the original Alien though...

Blisterman · 31-05-2005 12:04PM

I think you're thinking of The Mask.

C'mon, ya forgot Commando! Funny Film!

I love alot of John Hughes films - Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Train & Automobiles, Uncle Buck, The Breakfast Club (up till its starts getting all mushy and sentimental), The Great Outdoors & National Lampoon's Christmas vacation (writer), Pretty In Pink.

Then there's Clue, Back To the Future, Weekend at Bernie's, The Money Pit, Private Benjimin, Dragnet, Batman, Beeltejuice, Short Circuit, Indiana Jones, Trading Places, Coming to America, Big Business, Labrynth, Big, The Three Amigos, Ghostbusters, Tootsie.

Can't think of any more at the moment!!
