The best film of the 80s...

[Wil]

There were some great films back then, always liked a good comedy!

My fav is probably 'The Lost Boys' though, never have been able to say 'Micheal' the same since! Lol

Enjoying those worms Michael?

I've always got time to watch Lost Boys but if pushed to name just one it'd have to be either Raiders or Back to the Future. I remember going to see Raiders in London and not expecting to like it that much (I couldn't imagine it topping something like Empire) but it was just fantastic!

So many....

Dirty Dancing is MY personal Fav., though that doesn't mean it was the best!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Back To The Future Trilogy, Short Circuit, of course, The Goonies......
I could go on, and on, and on....

[blaupraust]

Definitely Labyrinth!!!

The brat pack movies were great although any film with Michael J Fox got my vote too!! What a guy!

Enjoyed The Tall Guy meself. Jeff Goldblum is the less famous half of a comedy act, the bullying Rowan Atkinson the other. Eventually Goldblum breaks free & outshines Atkinson. And gets the then ( late 80s ) very cute Emma Thompson.

So many good movies, liked all the ones mentioned but i also thought of Aliens and The Evil Dead

The Lost Boys was fantastic.
My favourite has to be Back To The Future, I remember my friend and I going to see that 6 times. We used to sit in the queue filling out the sticker albums

after reading ur thread the first came out in my head is this...


i think it was still the best film of the 80's

Without a doubt the best film of the 1980s was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Definitely. Without a shadow of a doubt. Or was it Ghostbusters? Actually, the Burbs was pretty good too...

So what WAS the best film of the 80s?

Very good film, Ferris Buellers Day Off. I used to have a mate at school who was the double of Mathew Broderick. Love the scene on the Carnival float, with him miming to the Beatles song. One of those feel good movies.

GHOST has my vote even if its just to spend a couple of hours crying...I always cry watching this film..like The Champ..a good cry makes you feel soooooo much better

[Tallulah]

I've just got to give Goodfella's a mention here after watching it again for the umpteenth time!

[Songseeker]

The King Of Comedy gets my pick. I love Scorsese and this is one of his very best films, IMO. I enjoyed it more than Raging Bull, which also was released in the '80s.

Yeah, quality film

Anyone else like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? It was a fave of mine.
