Top 5 best movies of the 80s

Damn! How did I forget "the terminator"? Great film.

 

Raging Bull doesn't come close to the hype about it being a great movie, because it's not. It's one of those movies people look at and say "It's a black and white movie filmed in the 80's so it MUST be good.


TFK

 

It's because a Scorsese movie that stars Deniro. That's why people assume it's a masterpiece.

 

:laughing:

 

Commando
The Last Dragon
Terminator
Robocop
Rocky 3 when he goes from Joe Frazier to Muhammad Ali, or maybe 4 when he ends the Cold War

Can't forget about classics like 48 Hrs, Predator, Beverly Hills Cop, The Running Man, Coming to America, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and Aliens. Aliens is mostly great. Mostly.

 

Same here. It should be a movie I love, with it being about boxing and a Scorsese/De Niro collaboration, but something about it is missing for me. There are some amazing scenes and performances, but it is indeed sluggish. I personally enjoyed "The King of Comedy" more.

 

agree completely

 

I'm not a huge fan of the movie, but Taxi Driver is clearly Deniro's best performance, not Raging Bullshit.

 

For a 'shit' decade of movies there's a stack of 80s films I love. Including my favorite films of all time.

 

King of comedy
do the right thing
crimes and misdemeanours
ghostbusters
zelig

 

The Empire Strikes Back
The Road Warrior
Raiders of the lost Ark
Aliens
Back to the Future

 

80s had some great films....specifically for entertainment value if not for artistic value. All of the Arnie flicks were good for example.

 

Agreed. I love that cheesy stuff. Who cares what hipsters with rolled up jeans and pussy tickler moustaches think?

 

word. Fuck those guys.

 

Great list.

 

Who doesn't love cheesy 80s action films? Don't know a single person.

 

exactly... Has nothing to do with making a best films list

Awful list.

Add King of Comedy to that list.
