Betty Blue, indeed. The sex & suicide flick that turned a generation of men onto girls with mental illness.

Ghostbusters, of course!

There was no suicide. Zorg sent Betty on her way.

There was no suicide.

Really? Well, cover me in eggs and flour and bake me for forty minutes.

Re: Favourite 80's films?

To be fair, I think there probably WOULD have been a suicide eventually if he hadn't put her out of her misery after she poked her own eye out!

Re: Favourite 80's films?

Ah there were loads of great films like the 'Beverly Hills Cop' and 'Ghostbusters' series' and of course 'Back to the Future', 'Weird Science', 'The Breakfast Club' but the best have to be...
Dirty Dancing
Fatal Attraction
Terminator

Re: Favourite 80's films?

D'you know, I've STILL never seen Dirty Dancing. Is it any good?

Meanwhile, how could I have forgotten the original "Fame" and "Footloose" !

Re: Favourite 80's films?

Aliens is my all time favourite. Agree with most already quoted and would add Young Guns, Top Gun, Predator and probably many more that I can't think of at the moment. I've seen Jean De Florette a long time ago so will have to refresh. Also have Manon des sources but not got round to watching it yet.

Re: Favourite 80's films?

Ohh I've had to sit and think about this one.
Ghostbusters & Gremlins are a really good call and of course going on from Back to the Future there's all the other Michael J Fox stuff like Teen Wolf and Doc Hollywood.
Here's some other's I like:

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Dark Crystal
E.T.
The tale end of the Star Wars Movies would have been in the 80's
The Goonies
Highlander
The Karate Kid films
Labyrinth
Lethal Weapon films
Mad Max films
Raiders of the Lost Ark & following films

Best film of the 80's and alos the funniest film of all time has to be Airplane, which then kick started films of similar type, Hot Shots etc.

Airplane has more laughs per minute than any other film. Unless of course you know different

Re: Favourite 80's films?

Educating Rita - great story, and I loved the soundtrack.

I was at college when it was released so 1983 - Interesting track on the dancefloor scene, David henschell I cant Dance - I thought it was Human League! Very 80's!
