Top 5 Bad 80s movies that seemed cool at first

5. Back to the Future II. Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: When Doc emerges from the time machine at the end of the movie in the most unrealistic "futuregarb" ever imagined. It's like Spielberg thought everybody in the future will dress just like they did in the 80's except even more obnoxiously.

4. Iron Eagles Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: "CAPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!@#". :rolleyes:

3. War Games. Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: When Matthew Broderick taps into the FBI mainframe with nothing but a dial-up modem and about 5 seconds of guessing at the password. "password: FBI....denied. password: EFF-BEE-EYE??? ACCEPTED!!@# FEEL FREE TO LAUNCH MISSLES AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE!!@#"

2. The Principal. Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: any scene that attempts to depic Jim Belushi as a badass.

1. Breakfast Club. Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: when the Jock smoked weed for the first time and went off on a dance sequence culminating in a primal scream that smashed the huge library window.

Discuss.

I watched Airplane last night and I thought it was pretty fucking stupid. Naked Gun was far superior.

:ultimatetwak:

LEAVE!!!@#

:hmpf

[Orgazmo]

Airplane's pretty sweet, but I actually like the sequel better - Shatner spice.

[Gutter]

I've never turned my back on a quality 80s movie.

[S.D. Jones]

ALSO !@!#

5. Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo: The first Breakin' was a classic...this one was pretty terrible. Turbo and Ozone wearing neon headbands at a community center called "Miracles" just wasn't street.

4. Gotcha!: Not sure if anyone remembers this, but it stared Anthony Edwards who was touring Europe and got roped into some spy crap. I remember something being hidden in streudel.

3. Twins: Yikes

2. La Bamba: NOT MY RICHIE #!@!@#

1. Cocktail: I think in a way, I still like this movie but the faggishness of Tom Cruise is too much to be ignored.

4. Iron Eagles Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: "CAPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!@#". :rolleyes:

You outraced a motorcycle with your FUCKING AIRPLANE?!

WOW! Way to go Lindbergh! :points:

A young Linda Fiorentino has to count for something. :yes:

Jonesy ever thinking Breakin 2 was quality = :weary:

I don't know. Breakdancing in front of a bulldozer so that white people dont tear down the dreams of all those poor kids seems pretty street to me. :unsure:

I remember when Top Gun came out, I insisted that Iron Eagles was WAY better. :rolleyes:

Also!!@#

6. Top Gun. I can't believe I refused to see all the gay overtones in that movie. The beach volleyball scene + the uncomfortably close dialogue between Maverick and Iceman when it seemed at any second they were going to start making out gives me the shivers whenever I see it now.

[Gutter]

Side Out: A greaser playing volleyball, unpossible.

Tarantino from the movie Sleep With Me:

Sid: You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest fucking scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.
Duane: Oh, come on.
Sid: Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.
Duane: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around.
Sid: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the fucking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.
Duane: What about Kelly McGillis?
Sid: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the fuck, what the fuck is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they fucking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! Fuckin' A, man!

I never got Breakfast Club, was the intent to make us like them? Because I came away hating each and every one of the whiny fucks.

The best scene in the movie should have been, when Bender is whining about how mean his dad is, Carl the janitor comes in and punches him in the face.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Naked Gun was good, but the Police Squad! series is much much better...

Surely, you must be joking.

[S.D. Jones]

Surely, you must be joking.

:no:

Maybe its just because I'm younger and don't find much humor in the actors that were in it. I'm guessing that in twenty years, Will Ferrell's appearance in Wedding Crashers (which I thought was hilarious) may be looked at in the same kind of way....funny because you are familiar with his style of comedy.

9,992 to go...

5. American Flyers - Part that makes me wonder why I ever watched it: Rae Dawn Chong. Kevin Costner as a bicycle star with a porn 'stache for the ages. Classic movie, except for Chong.

4. Flash Gordon - Part that makes me wonder why I ever liked it: The Viking guys living on a faggy cloud. I must have watched this movie 1,000 times when it was on heavy rotation on HBO in the late 80's. It was terrible, yet, I still watch it whenever it comes on. The scene with Flash and the Robin Hood guy sticking their hands in the poisonous tree stump is still fucking cool.

Ahh fuck it, I still love almost all 80's movies and I'm trying to find reasons to not like them anymore.

New list:

Top 5 Underrated 80's movies that fucking ruled:

5.) Midnight Run - DeNiro and Grodin had perfect comedic timing, a classic movie on almost every level.

4.) Johnny Dangerously - If you haven't used lines from this movie in your everyday life, well, you're no friend of mine.

3.) Amazon Women On The Moon - Don "No Soul" Simmons, end of story.

2.) Goonies - Dat's what I said Booeytrap

1.) Strange Brew

[CMT]

1.) Strange Brew


If I didn't have puke breath, I'd kiss you.

[Unknown_Soldier]

1.) Strange Brew


I owned this movie for like 5 years before I ever watched it. I wanted to :twak: myself for not watching it sooner.

[DITKANATE!@#$@#$@#$]

i was obsessed with flash gordon. the tree stump part and the end when the dude gets skewered by the tip of the ship and bleeds purple were my faves!@# :hyper:

also i haven't seen that movie for prolly 20+ years. :eek:



9,989 to go....
