Me and my mates have like a movie night every week or so and lately we've been watching shithouse 80's films. We're starting to run out of ideas, can you guys suggest some? so far we've seen: Top Gun, Footloose, Ferris Buellers day off & The Breakfast club.

Cheers,

He wanted BAD movies - those are some of my favourites!
'Mongo hungry!'

[Jamezo]

damn, not quite 80s, 1994:

In The Army Now

heck yes!

[The Pastor]

Indy, def get duck soup, its great!

[Oakie]

Shithouse you want ...?

Any of those dubbed martial arts movies crack me up ... you know, when the words are still being said after the lips have stopped moving.

Also ...
Try 'Quadrophenia'. It's good and bad and interesting all at the same time. Actually no, now that I think about it it wasn't bad at all. Good bikers movie even though they mostly rode Vespas.

[The Pastor]

kung foo hustle was great, but it came out last year?

[Indiana_Jones]

Yeah, 1941 i havn't seen that in a while.

lol Commando is lame as :D

Remember When I promised to kill you last?

That's right Matrix, you did!

I LIED!

Argggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

.....................

Where's Sully?

I let him go

-Indy

[Headbanger]

Anything with Chuck Norris in it, I just watched Invasion USA, total crap, totally enjoyed it.

The Toxic Avenger.

[Beemer]

Don't forget Fame - wonder how many guys took up welding after that movie?

[diesel pig]

Don't forget Fame - wonder how many guys took up welding after that movie?

You are thinking of 'Flashdance' there mate

[John Banks]

If you can, Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Stephen

[Highlander]

Repo Man with Emilo Estevez

Saw it the other night.....funny stuff.

Wasn't that the one with Emilio Estevez and charlie Sheen playing parts as brothers?

Spooky huh. Real life is stranger than fiction.

[Highlander]

The first couple of Police academy movies would fall in there wouldn't they.

I'm surprised no one has listed TOP GUN or Iron Eagle :nya:

[HenryDorsetCase]

Repo Man with Emilo Estevez

Saw it the other night.....funny stuff.

whoah, intense!!

I liked that film and bought the soundtrack...

no ones mentioned the truly awful craptastic "Red Dawn"

and Heathers fits date wise although I really liked it as well.

Pacino's Sea of Love came out in the late '80's I think (again, a good movie)

[Big Dave]

The first couple of Police academy movies would fall in there wouldn't they.

Not nearly as well as 12,13 & 14

[WINJA]

wraith , its got charlie sheen and he gets revenge on some street racers, look for the shadow the camera cast in one of the chase scenes, i love it
robocop

[Scorpygirl]

How about "Chariots of Fire". We used to murder the theme tune on the piano!! :blah:

[Indiana_Jones]

lol yum yum

-Indy

[myvice]

Dunno when it was released but try
Perdita Durango.
Tarantino in a bloodthirsty mood couldn’t have done better!
Very, very nasty movie..
Reservoir Dogs.
Late 80's early 90's?
Apocalypse Now.
Poltergeist.
Alien.
Full metal jacket.
Platoon.
Hamburger Hill.
Smurfs Christmas...

[Swoop]

I'm surprised no one has listed TOP GUN or Iron Eagle :nya:
Read Indy's first post!!! (properly)


Also:
Goodbye pork pie!
The Final Countdown.
The Toxic Avenger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sniper]

Platoon....

[SARGE]

purple rain!!!!

[Beemer]

You are thinking of 'Flashdance' there mate

You're right! But Fame should still have been on the list!

[Fishy]

earth girls are easy.

[Sniper]

Debbie does dallas?

[Swoop]

Debbie does dallas?
Isn't that a '70's film???:blip:

[The_Dover]

Stakeout!

Caddyshack?

[Big Dave]

Caddyshack?


God Bless Rodney.

[ajturbo]

purple rain!!!!

hey .. that movie got me into motor bikes:blip:

[Krayy]

...Stars: David Hasselhoff. (WS)

I just watched 5 minutes of cliched hilarity.
For the ultimate Hasselhoff experience, I heartily recommend "Revenge of the Cheerleaders" in which he played the aptly named character "Boner". This cliche on celluloid, one of "The Hoffs" first cinematic endeavours that was conveniently swept under the carpet, is a soft porn epic along the lines of Porkys meets Debbie does Dallas. A bunch of horny cheerleaders and some rousing dance numbers to make the old fella shake it's "head" in shame.

Also, anything with Lorenzo Lamas or Michael Dudikoff pretending to be ninjas or samurais will have you writhing in the aisles.

[Macktheknife]

Dont forget "Damnation Alley" the 80's post cataclysmic classic. You will laugh, cry, puke and wonder why all at the same time.

[Finn]

Me and my mates have like a movie night every week or so and lately we've been watching shithouse 80's films. We're starting to run out of ideas, can you guys suggest some? so far we've seen: Top Gun, Footloose, Ferris Buellers day off & The Breakfast club.


Ferris Buellers Day Off is a classic. Not a shithouse 80's movie.

[Sniper]

Isn't that a '70's film???:blip:

No idea, never seen it, don't own it....... :innocent:

[gunnyrob]

If you can find it (it's well worth tracking down) the ultimate shithouse post apocolyptic 80's flick is DUM DUM DUMMM.........

"Hell comes to Frog town."

Basic plot: Nuclear war, mass sterility (except for Sam Hell), Horny Amazon Women, Mutants........well you get the drift.

Another one that's close is Cherry 2000:lol: , about a dude looking for spare parts for his broken Fem Bot.

Both these movies will have you pissing yourselves.

[Gwinch]

How can anyone not have suggested Tron by now?

<img src="http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/t/tron.jpg">

Not saying that it's a shithouse 80's movie of course, it's fan-fucking-tastic!

[spudchucka]

"The Evil dead".

From about 1981. It was a crap film but I still remember being scared shitless watching it.

[Indiana_Jones]

lol evil dead is classic, oh I just remember another one...

Yea THAT is my favourite all time movie. I'm still looking for the sound track

-Indy

[Maha]

[KATWYN]

Thanks for that Mahaman...but
Believe me I have googled for the sound track .
there was one, once upon a time.

Found Sharons website and saw that this guy had a copy but wasn't going let it go for all the tea and china (I didn't blame him)

If ever I had an idol when I was a teenager....her and her sharktooth earing was it

[Kickaha]

i have the DVD its a Smash Palace /Sleeping Dogs combo

Watched that a couple of months ago, love the scene when he takes the Atlantic down the road

But Sleeping Dogs (Smiths Dream) is my pic of NZ movies from that era

[Drum]

Wax on, wax off.

Elisabeth Shue in knee high socks.........woof

[Indiana_Jones]

The best part in sleeping dogs is when Sam Niel chucks the beer against the wall and then the other guy goes 'clam down and have a beer' lol. 'I ca'nt mate, I just chucked it agianst the wall!'

-Indy

[scumdog]

Yeah St Elmos Fire is a must see
Every which way but loose....
Any which way you can....
The Three Amigos.........
Smash Palace......NZ coolest flick..my opinion

Hated Smash Palace after they drove the black F100 off the cliff - the rest was not too bad though....

[Winston001]

I use the Internet Movie Database to get ideas for DVDs to watch. Click on Top Movies and you'll find plenty of choices.

For the 1980s check out http://us.imdb.com/chart/1980s.

-Indy

[fire eyes]

Ummm shithouse? loving the 80's! and what a cool random idea to have a movie night! anyway I hope these are 8o's I am sure I will be corrected if they are not lol ..

*Never Ending Story!
*Came A Hot Friday
*Nerds
*Aeroplane

Lots of others I am thinking of have already been named but mind is ticking over now!

Good luck :woohoo:

[Winston001]

Hell this is an old thread.

No-one has mentioned the Conan movies - always good for a laugh. And Red Sonya, same sort of thing. Excellent.

[Krayy]

And oddly enough these were missing:

Buckaroo Banzai
Black Moon Rising

...classic sci-fi crapola

Oh, and Iron Eagle 1, 2, 3, etc...

[Indiana_Jones]

oh and "Total Recall"

-Indy

[Cajun]

what amazing is some cool 80's movies you watch now days, do seam very budget comapred to moden stuff, and not as good as you remember

But i think some of that is due to moden movies with all special effects to make it flashy, and older movies don't really have this as.

aka watched the mad max series on c4 month or so ago, good movies, but seam very small budget movies, but were big movies of the time.

[kave]

I'm suprised that no John Carpenter films have been mentioned, he was the king of B-Grade movies

They Live (1988)
Prince of Darkness (1987)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Starman (1984)
Christine (1983)
The Thing (1982)
Escape from New York (1981)
The Fog (1980)

Unfortunately 'Assault on Precinct 13' came out in the 70's, but how could no one have mentioned 'They Live' starring Rowdy Roddy Piper?

[ManDownUnder]

Stripes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Swoop]

The Toxic Avenger.

[chrisso]

Bad Taste'' Peter Jackson--best movie of all time.
''Braindead''.:done:

[Indiana_Jones]

Bad Taste'' Peter Jackson--best movie of all time.

on that note, I can't remember if it's early 90's or late 80's, but 'meet the feebles' is wicked!

pump up the volume and labyrinth

[Big Dave]

Indy, you should broaden your horizons.

Start looking back further.
There is a pre CGI hokey-ness index stretching back to the 50s that is always good for a PT.

[Forest]

I know it got mentioned earlier, but this one will definitely impress your friends.

Buckeroo Banzai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckaroo_Banzai)

"Buckaroo Banzai is the lead character, played by Peter Weller, of the eponymous 1984 cult film, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. A renaissance man, the character is a top neurosurgeon, particle physicist, race car driver, rock star and comic book hero, and in the film, probably the last hope of the human race. In the film, his latest experiments open the door to the 8th dimension and unwittingly start an interplanetary battle for the world."

Becasue "They Live" is fuck'n AWESOME!!!! Who the hell can't love this movie? Class story and even classier lines:

"I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubble gum!"

And damn me if your list doesn't include some of my favourite movies of all time! Big Trouble is the bomb, Escape From NY is the epitome of cool, The Thing is seriously stylish. Anyone guess I'm a Kurt Russell fan?

Starman can get f**ked though.
