Author Topic: Movies for Mike (80s Movies You Should Have Seen) Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 04-15-2006 01:40 AM                        Yeah, The Quiet Earth is a definate blast from the past. I loved that movie with all of it's simplistic style. It's truly a unique movie. And, then, there is War Games. Man, the 80's were great. Neat movies, awesome music and fantastic dress styles, including Hair Styles of the time.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-15-2006 12:09 PM                        All three "Back to the Future" movies came out in the eighties. Also, all three "Indiana Jones" movies came out in the eighties. Reading all these posts made me feel my age today. I keep forgetting that I worked in theatres - in the last part of the eighties. Great memories from those days. Remember "Weekend at Bernies"? "Uncle Buck" with John Candy? I remember most films from building them in the projection booth and then having the Thursday late night screenings. When you were still in your teens - those screenings were a lot of fun. Wow - the memories........ [ 04-15-2006, 02:10 PM: Message edited by: Dennis Benjamin ]  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Those 16-year-old employees we're all hiring this year weren't even alive in the 1980s.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-15-2006 02:56 PM                    quote: Dennis Benjamin All three "Back to the Future" movies came out in the eighties.

That's why I can say I was doing this job before you were an itch in your daddy's pants.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-15-2006 04:48 PM                        1990 - that year was really 1989 1/2. Those two years run together for me. But you guys got my point.  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-16-2006 03:26 AM                    Big Trouble in Little China.

WOW, what an awesome movie. I plan on seeing that movie at Landmark Theatres La Jolla 4, which will be the last movie of their Midnight Madness film series.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-20-2006 12:13 AM                        quote: Paul Mayer Tank Girl was not an '80s film. You are quite right. I actually got that movie crossed with another film of equal value and quality. I was actually thinking of Cherry 2000. I always get those two mixed up. Both were post apocolyptic type films that had no quality whatsoever... Totally B... Yet, as awful as they were, I still enjoyed them..

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 04-20-2006 12:59 AM                        Heh heh, my favorite for that genre would have to be Damnation Alley. Just loved how Circus Circus was about the only recognisable thing left of Las Vegas. Added a few more titles to my list for Mike. Gads I like the quirky ones.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 04-20-2006 05:42 PM                        Secret Of My Success reaks of the '80s. Not really a great movie. Has some twisted Oedipus Rex type shit g*ing on.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 04-20-2006 08:30 PM                        quote: John Lasher ... shit g*ing ...

Anyone mention Dark Crystal?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 04-28-2006 07:16 PM                        quote: Andy Muirhead I can't believe nobody has mentioned Stand By Me! look at page 2 quote: Jeremy Jorgenson Stand by Me (1986)  |  IP: Logged
