Other than the John Highes films, this one came to mind:

My friend and I always talk about how we grew up in the Red Dawn era, with the threat of Red Soviets and other commies invading us. I always have recurring invasion dreams to this day. It's an awfully embarassing movie to have as part of your subconscious self.

elias koteas is even in it

Less than zero

[ChrisTheCop]

Karate Kid IS the 80's.

[lleeder]

Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, and an Indian sterotype team up with an out of control robot named Number 5. Its doesn't get more 80's.

wang chung did the soundtrack, it don't get much more 80's then that

Either Robocop or Gremlins 2 (technically came out in '90, but it was made in '89). If I had to pick any two things to completely represent that decade and its impact on history/pop culture, it would be those two movies.

That said, the 80's are packed with movies that are only the result of a frenzied coke haze. Mannequin, anyone?

Mannequin 2 was even worse. I was going to ask Leticia if she could watch Mannequin with her fear of statues.

Robocop

i'd buy that for a dollar

[Don Stugots]

No one said The Breakfast club yet?

[djjd]

my favourite RoboCop moment

[Former city councilman Ron Miller, holding the mayor hostage, makes demands of the police.]
Ron Miller: And third, I want a recount! And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!
Lt. Hedgecock: Okay!
Ron Miller: And I want a bigger office! And I want a new car! And I want the city to pay for it all!
Lt. Hedgecock: What kind of car, Miller?
Ron Miller: Something with reclining leather seats, that goes really fast, and gets really shitty gas mileage!

[lleeder]

The Breakfast club, now they did. You happy?

[DarkHippie]

Rocky IV. Its got commies, underdogs, dolph lundgren, sports, montages, and James Brown singing while dressed up like a flag fag

[Don Stugots]

The Breakfast club, now they did. You happy?

no.

[TheMojoPin]

Is The Breakfast Club really THAT "80's?" I'd argue that outside of fashion, the major John Hughes teen flicks from that decade are really pretty timeless and not tha bogged down with 80's-ness, if at all.

[Don Stugots]

it was a coming of age story, Cliche and and stereotypes of every different group in high school. good enough for me.

I'm here to take questions...you in the back. Yes, what will it be?

[lleeder]

Thank God Hottub wrote the title of each movie next to the movie poster. There's no way I would have known what he meant. :wink:

I actually did that for posterity. There are too many old threads that have the "red X" and no picture to back it up. I'm smart, and forward thinking.

These movies were pretty intense for a 10-11 year old lad like myself. I loved 'em.

Thats why your a Mod and I'm not invited to your inner sanctum or its parties.

[Hottub]

They were 80's movies, but 60's themed.

Focus!!!

[DiabloSammich]

WEIRD SCIENCE!!!!

I'm not smart enough to post a picture. But if I was, it would be Anthony Michael Hall in the back of the car screaming,

"He don't even got his license, Lisa!" Good times.

No, the reason you are not invited is I fear you knocking up my chick.


Or my dog.:laugh:

Isn't it embarassing when that happens? Good thing I always neatly label every hot link. It's an old failsafe I invented.
