The 80's had the best movies...

[buck]

I'l tell you why, I can only think of one remake, "the thing" and that was bloody awesomeer than the original...i'l now list the 80's best films...Do you agree, do you believe anouther decade was better? Doubtful.... So many originals, Nothing can beat the 80's on movies, every single one of these movies is glorious...And just to say, 2000-2010 cannot be a contender, because battlefield earth was made in 2000, and this is the worst film ever known by man.

teeheee, theres loads more i havent put up there, there was alos the tv, good god the TV!!!

THE A TEAM!!

AIRWOLF!!

OMG EVERYTHING!!!

lol

[Biscuit]

Well Die Hard and Scarface would win in any decade.
Most of todays films are really good but would never have the effect of say Tony Montana getting a shotgun in the back at the end of Scarface. That's spine shivering stuff.
Even films like the Matrix fall short in comparison to Die Hard.

I got Ghost busters on Dvd recently

[Grand Admiral Martin]

star wars was 70s

but yeah the 80s wins hands down,
also the best decade for cartoons!

transformers
gi joe
mask
tmnt
thundercats
so many more

no pokemon **Filtered**

[Fear Of The Duck]

It's hard to say... I mean, there are so many excellent films that fall either just outside of - or waaay away from that decade - reservoir dogs, The Godfather, etc. etc. etc.

Still, overall - yeah, the 80's smoked the theaters.

[Spacey]

Explorers
Indiana Jones
the last starfighter
the goonies
flight of the navigator
the neverending story

[Apollo]

My argument = Dirty Dancing. *gags*

And I have never EVER before met anyone else who liked Earth Girls Are Easy! "You have liplock for Wiplock?"

[Spacey]

"wiplock" reminds me of another: Willow!

[Bad Wolf]

Labrynth

[Apollo]

ZOMG - Labrynth rocks! And I just remembered another one today - The Black Stallion.

[Bad Wolf]

Trust Apollo to like it

BWG

[Spacey]

I saw that when I was little (first time...sister wanted to see it and liked it), and David Bowe scared me...he still does...

I'm scarred for life!
*runs away crying*

[GrandadmiralThrawn]

there there spacey its ok, david bowie wont get you.

anyways.
the spoof movies were great.
airplane!
naked gun
spaceballs

then again how can you complain about back to the future great film.
its true the 80's did have brilliant films

hehehe just found this about airplane!:
The popularity of Otto, the inflatable pilot, is such that he has his own page on the Internet Movie Database, even though he hasn't appeared in any other films
