MOFO 80's Teen Movie Hall of Fame

[MovieGal]

70120

Hi Everyone - MovieGal here,

The rules are simple

- The film must have been made from 1980 to 1989.
- It must contain a lead character who is a teen.
- The film can be set in any era such as "Back to The Future" or "Outsiders"
- It can be of any genre - 80's Teen Horror is most welcome to join with Teen Romance, Teen Comedy and Teen Action.
- Everyone who nominates a film, will watch and rate the other nominee's film.


I want to make this a fun Hall of Fame so please any open discussions about music from the films, quizzes and even our own fun stories of being a teen is welcome.

I was a teen during this time and I graduated high school in 1985 so perhaps I will even share my senior picture from then. This is open to everyone, remember the more the merrier!

Enjoy and Have Fun!!!!

A BIG thanks to Citizen Rules for helping me. We have been talking about this on and off for a while... You are a great support and friend.

[pahaK]

I'll have to give this one some serious thought. I have a feeling that I'd hate majority of nominations but will need to investigate a bit further than my prejudices. Right off the bat I can't think more than a handful I've liked so no promises about joining but it's possible.

[edarsenal]

Actually, that sounds kind of fun. I graduated in '82 so there's a good chance I've seen a large chunk of films from then that I watched during that time and it may be a lot of fun to do a revisit.

In fact, right off the top of my head, I may already have a nom ready to go.

No surprise there. :p

[TheUsualSuspect]

I hope someone nominates Heathers...I have yet to see it.

Odds on how many John Hughes films get nominated?

I'm picking last. I want to make sure I pick a rarely seen film.

[Joel]

Im in sounds great

[MovieGal]

Most know Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Club are 2 of my favs and they will be up for grabs. I think I have my nom already.

You should join. You might find some new ones you enjoy.

You should join!

[Citizen Rules]

On or around November 1st, Citizen Rules and I are co-hosting a MOFO 80's Teen Movie Hall of Fame.



The rules are simple

- The film must have been made from 1980 to 1989.
- It must contain a lead character who is a teen.
- The film can be set in any era such as "Back to The Future" or "Outsiders"
- It can be of any genre - 80's Teen Horror is most welcome to join with Teen Romance, Teen Comedy and Teen Action.
- Everyone who nominates a film, will watch and rate the other nominee's film.

:up: Great job MovieGal. I like the whole 80s teen theme, so many awesomely cool teen movies from the 80s:p, this will be fun!

I like that there's 3 weeks to decide on a movie nomination. That gives me lots of time try and pick a good one:)

I hope someone nominates Heathers...I have yet to see it. Join & nominate it! I love that film. So you know you have one postive review on it.

I'm not going to nominate a film I haven't seen!!! That works for me:) Think I might watch your nom for the 17th Hof, hopefully I'll like it, I think I might.

[cricket]

I went to a little High School in the 80's, probably was supposed to graduate around 1988. I'm a maybe.

[Sedai]

I am IN!

[Joel]

The fun for me will be picking the film. I may go with a more commercially known film just so it gets reassessed. Some real beauties out there...

Hughes will pretty much be a given for high school 80's flicks. lol Which is fine there are some great ones by him.
And having someone nominate Heathers would be great. Been forever since I saw that one and I have a feeling you'd kick outta of it. And if not, well, "F@ck me gently with a chainsaw."

Citizen Rules said: You and MovieGal are youngins:p I did graduate from high school in the 80s too:cool:

Whatever, grandpa :p does The Home know you're using their computer? :D

You are older but by very little, my friend.

I probably will. Even though I'd like to make a dent in my watchlist, I think this is a great idea.

[TheUsualSuspect]

I was born in '87

[Citizen Rules]

I was born in '87 Then the 80s is your decade:D

[MovieGal]

I think people like

Captain Spaulding , cat_sidhe , Nostromo87 , SmudgeEFC1985 , and HashtagBrownies might enjoy this Hall of Fame.

I sent a few others messages... Sir Toose and I are about the same age... Our birthdays are in the same month.

I already had something similar in parenthesis but decided to remove it so that someone else will have a pleasure to bring that up :D

For a while it seemed everyone here was older than me but we're about the same age. I graduated in 1994 as well.

I'll join IF I find a good nomination. I was trying to find one for a rewatch but not that easily available :(

[SmudgeEFC1985]

Yes!!! I'm so in! Any excuse to rewatch the likes of Heathers and the Breakfast Club again!

The challenge should then end with everyone watching St Elmos Fire to remind us that in Hollywood, life doesn't get any better after high school!

[ScarletLion]

I might have to get in on this.

I like the theme of the HoF and it sounds like a lot of fun, but let's see how I do with the current one which I still have to finish. I'm not really built for HoFs...

[pahaK]

I'm really starting to lean towards not joining. I've looked through multiple lists (including all three CR linked) and vast majority of films seem like something I have absolutely no desire to watch.

[Joel]

I think part of the rule is make it a fun pick. That outta weed out stuff like rumblefish and the like haha.

No one wants to suffer for this particular hof is my best guess...

[Ms. M]

I was born in '87
You don't have to brag;)

[Ms. M]

It sounds like fun. I always have a problem with finding movies, which are nominate. That's why I won't join, but I'll be around. Have fun everyone:)

[MovieGal]

You don't have to brag;)

Ms. M perhaps you could nominate a film from Poland within this HOF... it would be interesting to see a foreign film of this nature.

[Rhys]

I'm interested in joining this but I am a little confused to how this works and I don't want to commit to something that I would be too busy to finish. How often do we need to watch a film/how many films do we need to watch? Sorry if this is a dumb comment haha!

[ynwtf]

Same. Never taken part in a HoF, so not really sure what my obligation is. Is this just one nomination per user? a list of top 100 or whatever to submit that gets measured against other user lists?

Walk me through this one as though I am a child.

You pick one film then you watch from a list of all the nominated films (typically between 9-15) and you have 2-3 months to watch all the films and write a review. Once you've finished watching all the films you submit a list in order from what you liked and the host adds them together and declares a winner.

Thanks for the explanation! Sounds great. I am definitely up for this. :)

[MovieGal]

November to mid Feb sound good?

[MovieGal]

My daughter is here for dinner...will be back afterwards

[edarsenal]

depending on the amount of people its most likely ample time. Especially with additional time for getting through the holidays.

gbgoodies and Captain Steel

Are you up for it?


It's been a while since I joined a HoF because there have been a lot of movies nominated that just aren't my type of movies, but I'm seriously considering this HoF. I've seen a lot of the '80's teen movies, and I love, (or at least like), many of them. My only concern is that there may be too many horror teen movies nominated.

I'll be very surprised if The Breakfast Club doesn't win this HoF, but I'd like to see what other movies people nominate to try to beat it.

[TheUsualSuspect]

I hope people refrain from nominating obvious choices but whatever.

[SmudgeEFC1985]

If we send you a nom that has already been picked, do we just send another?

[Siddon]

yeah I posted that because of the music... 80's films has the best music

Lol that was Rick Springfield song... called "The American Girl"

some of my favorite 80s tunes are from movies

Ok most know me as a fan of rock and especially rock from other countries... but I do listen to other genres from around the world...

but when it comes to 80s music.. Im totally pop... and Im a huge fan of Madonna's... and Rick Springfield (my son's name is Richard)

This was my top five choices....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNXB0epxxBw

- excluded because it just missed the cutoff

The Wizard(1989)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AacoxHFYvZw

-excluded because it was going to come in last or second to last

El Norte(1983)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6G2EE4_Btk


-I don't know if I wanted to watch something this powerful again

Nightmare on Elm Street III (1987)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waiA1uSgK3w

-I've nominated way to many horror films so I'm moving onto a new genre


I'll say this for the film I've picked it sort of is a combination of all four of these films. And this should be a film in contention to win.

[Ms. M]

@Ms. M (http://www.movieforums.com/community/member.php?u=96627) perhaps you could nominate a film from Poland within this HOF... it would be interesting to see a foreign film of this nature.
I'm not sure, if it's not against the rules - nominate, but not taking apart... What do you think?

[Joel]

I didn't pick a movie to win but I am glad I picked it because I'm excited for a few ppl to see it as I consider it a really cool little movie that is fun and pays off nicely

I'm not sure, if it's not against the rules - nominate, but not taking apart... What do you think?

It doesnt have to be in english.. it can be in any language.. as long as its from the 80s and one of the main character is a teenager...

Nominate away!

I'm not sure, if it's not against the rules - nominate, but not taking apart... What do you think? That would be OK:), it would be optional for people to watch it as you didn't join. But sure suggest a film:up: some people will watch it.

That's right. I'm not sure, if I will watch all nominated movies, that's why I don't participate and my nomination is, let's say, voluntary.

[MovieGal]

That's right. I'm not sure, if I will watch all nominated movies, that's why I don't participate and my nomination is, let's say, obligatory.

I'm going to add your name to the list of participants but you are exempt from watching all the films since you asked in advance. However, the participants are not obligated to watch yours. However, it would be nice to see something different from another country. You can commentate on what you watch of the films and perhaps if you saw them before, to comment.

Also, I have GBG's nomination so we will get them up soon.

I am waiting to hear back from Citizen Rules about some ideas.

Citizen Rules might want to chime in on this too.

[cricket]

Akira
Seen it and liked it ok. I'll watch it again but I don't think it's the kind of movie anyone envisioned would be in this HOF.

Crossroads and Once Bitten
Don't think I've seen either.

Grease 2 and Teen Wolf
Haven't seen either.

Can't Buy Me Love
Liked it but barely remember it.

Say Anything
Another good one that's been a while.

Stand By Me
Looks like the early favorite to me.

Better off Dead
Was disappointed when I saw it at the movies, but that was then and this is now.

Lucas
Saw it once and liked it.

My Bodygaurd and Three O'Clock High
I considered nominating both of these.

Heaven Help Us
My nom. I think it's a pretty underrated and largely forgotten gem.

I also considered nominating The Sure Thing, The Flamingo Kid, The Last American Virgin, and Little Darlings.

So glad f**kin Ferris wasn't nominated.

[MovieGal]

None of these are bad choices...

I haven't seen Akira but I know many who like it

I haven't seen Say Anything and shame on me!

I think Teen Wolf and Once Bitten are along the same lines.... they got some wacky scenes but they are fun watches...

I love Better of Dead "I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!"

[Joel]

I think ill get akira watched first. Not an animation fan but maybe ill like it

I considered better off dead and cant buy me love. Glad they both got nomd

I know but nobody signs up for an 80's teen HoF to watch anime sci-fi. It's fine I'll watch it but if you look at the posters of all the nominations, there's clearly one movie that doesn't fit in.

[ynwtf]

Better off Dead was my first pick but it was taken. It was a coin toss between Dream a Little Dream or Crossroads.

[MovieGal]

I tossed around a few..until a co worker reminded me of Once Bitten


Solarbabies and The Wraith was considered...Legend of Billie Jean...I was even joking about picking Soul Man with C Thomas Howell...but I figured that might be too controversial.

It doesn't just "technically" fit but rather it touches on the same central metaphor of most teen films, growing up moving past your childhood issues and discovering who you are going to be.

Rian Johnson (Looper)

Y'know kids and teens of the 80's who were inspired by the film and then put aspects of the anime into their bodies of work.

No Heathers. Sad.

No Rad, either. Coulda sent me an angel, right now. But no.

[Siddon]

Stand By Me
Looks like the early favorite to me.



I DEMAND Stand By Me to be removed from this tournament as all the lead characters are 12 year olds and thus not teenagers and do not belong in the teen movie hall of fame. I do not see this as a Teen movie and I am unwilling to LISTEN any other opinions. This tournament is not meant for intended audiences or the themes of the story, heck the movie doesn't even take place in the 1980's.



[/sarcasm...but also HOW DARE YOU] :p

You have a point as I didn't remember the exact age of the boys, although the bullies are teens. I do think it at least fits the spirit of the theme a little closer.

[Rhys]

I also think Stand By Me shouldn't be in this. It's one of my favourite films but I wouldn't class it as a teen comedy at all personally.

Looking forward to watching these though!

[Zotis]

Akira
Seen it and liked it ok. I'll watch it again but I don't think it's the kind of movie anyone envisioned would be in this HOF.

Yeah, it's not what you'd expect in a "Teen Movie" theme, but really the only actual stipulations were:

- The film must have been made from 1980 to 1989.
- It must contain a lead character who is a teen.

Not much of a theme if you ask me, but meh, it's not my HoF, and I wouldn't be able to get all the way through it even if it was. Personally I would have made it "Coming of Age Stories" or something like that. Stories that revolved around the nature of adolescence and being a teenager, not merely movies with a teenage lead.

What about movies with college age kids playing high-school teens? Or movies like The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games where the actors are older but the characters are supposed to be teenagers?

[MovieGal]

What about movies with college age kids playing high-school teens? Or movies like The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games where the actors are older but the characters are supposed to be teenagers?

I believe those are current films, They do not qualify as they were not made during the 1980s. Patrick Swayze was 32 years old when they made "Red Dawn" in 1984, He played a teenager.

I believe the older boys in "Stand by Me" were around 13 or 14 years old.. so yeah it qualifies even.

[Joel]

Im glad solarbabies isnt in this haha


Now wait...which dub of Akira should we go for Siddon?


I hear things about the two most frequented versions.

I think Stand by Me def qualifies. Some technicalties with age on a few of the cast but theyre all basically teenagers.

I guess essentially its a pre teen focused film but its so decent i cant see why itd be ejected. Shlt, them kids were at the perfect age to watch Akira, had it come out back then.

[Rhys]

It can be any genre of teen movie

It's a good pick

I still wouldn't class it was a teen movie though. It literally states that they're 12 years old during the end scene of the film.

It's definitely a great film though! It's on my favourites list so it's going to be very hard for me to vote against. :)

IMDB classifies it as an 80's Teen Movie

Its eligible... its rated #5

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls054909971/

and Kieffer Sutherland's character "Ace Merrill" does have a decent size part in the movie.. as he's the bully to these boys.

What do you mean? I'm just saying that's it's not the movie site that's classifying it that way. It's just a member's opinion like you or me.

[MovieGal]

People finding things wrong with the some of the nominations.. even though they fall under the guidelines.

Perhaps Akira was popular with the teen's in Japan in the 80s... so its a Japanese 80s Teen film..

Most are comedies or happy go lucky time of nominations and not depressing but I seen one I wanted to nominate that was very depressive but it was a rare gem.. that I have never seen..

David is a high school student who seems to have the world on a string. One night while partying with his friends on a big bluff on the outskirts of town, David falls to his death. Everyone assumes it is an accident until a few days later, when David’s friend, Chris receives David’s suicide note in the mail. The suicide devastates David’s friends, family, school, and community. The rest of the film chronicles their grief and their inability to understand why David killed himself.

I might just watch it because its sounds like a great film even though its depressing.

[Velvet]

I will watch say anything soon. I actually recently bought it so I have a psychical copy which is always nice.

Hope you guys all love a musical, cause my nom Grease 2 is a musical and a damn fun one! It's got a great mix of sexual innuendo songs being sung by horny teens and 80s pop rock numbers too!...And one helluva a motorcycle stunt that's done for real!

While riding on the back of a motorcycle, the girl swings her body around to set on his lap of the guy driving, and they make out...while doing a high speed wheelie!...and with no helmets:eek:...BTW that's not a stunt woman, it's Michelle Pfieffer doing the stunt. I think you guys might be surprised by this one...oh and no comparing it to Grease:rolleyes: That's a totally different movie and this one has very little in common with Grease which was first a Broadway play. Grease 2 is strictly for fun.

[MovieGal]

If I nominated "Howard the Duck", I'm sure some would have complained.. Howard definitely isn't in his teen's and he's a duck.

Edit: no guy would ever complain about this movie... do you know why?

I remember seeing howard the duck as a kid lol.

I really really am gonna strive to finish this hof fast, as the other hof I was in (the 70s hof) I had a great start but ended up not finishing because of some personal issues which really bummed me out.

I love Howard the Duck then and waiting for the MCU to make their movie of him...

[edarsenal]

QUITE surprised that there is no Hughes films or that Heathers didn't make it, would have been fun for a revisit for that.
Still, quite a nice eclectic crowd to this. Looking forward to it. THANKS MovieGal and Citizen Rules for doing this!

Akira (1988) - Siddon Been forever since I saw this, so it should be fun for a revisit

Can't Buy Me Love (1987) - Velvet Never got around to seeing it, but heard it was pretty decent, so I will find out.

Once Bitten (1985) - MovieGal another I haven't seen since it came out and curious to see how it fares since then.

Better Off Dead (1985) - Ed When I think back to this time and teen flicks this one always pops into my head, in fact it was THE first one to pop in when this came up and quickly sent it in as a nom.

Say Anything (1989) - Rhys Another Cusack film and I am a fan, so I should be enjoying this one since I can't remember anything from it.

Teen Wolf (1985) - TUS remembering being so-so about this one when it came out but it doesn't mean it won't be fun to watch now.

Lucas (1986) - Smudge Never saw this, or I don't think I did, but will get to, now

Stand By Me (1986) - Sedai Been a long time since I saw this, so, another fun revisit

Heaven Help Us (1985) - Cricket Had utterly forgotten about this one, so YAY that it was nominated

Crossroads (1986) - ynwtf a classical guitar student goes on the road to learn the Blues. VERY cool

Three O'Clock High (1987) - Joel vaguely remember the set up to this and curious for the revisit

My Bodyguard (1980) - GBG Good choice! Been ages since I saw this.

Grease 2 (1982) - Citizen Rules No comparing with the original Grease, huh? We'll see about that ;) Still, I have been tempted with Pfieffer being it in and all, now it'll happen.

Honorary Nomination, optional to watch
Yesterday (1985) - Ms. M Looked this up on IMDb and really like the premise, so it's a good chance I'll be watching this.

I have a few more HOF ideas but I want to see how this goes..

I would imagine a lot of us figured someone ELSE would nominate them and went in a different direction. Still, a lot of fun when there's a lot of lesser known films show up.

Michelle Pfieffer is hot in this:D It's easy to see how she became a big star after Grease 2 which was her first starring role. After that she was cast in Scarface and the rest is the stuff of legend.

[Velvet]

can I just say that citizen has me pumped to see grease 2 lol. It sounds super super fun and most importantly very eighties :cool:

Ohhh, as a KID..right, OK, makes sense now..for some reason I thought you said in the theaters..that explaisn why I still feel old talking to you lol jk

[MovieGal]

I wonder if I should mention here a HOF I want to do

Should I?

and yes I posted this message first in Joel's HOF thread... damn it Joel... you make me think you would enjoy my new HOF idea....

[Velvet]

Raunchy comedy hof would be my personal dream

[Velvet]

[Joel]

Raunchy comedy hof would be my personal dream

Hardbodies 2

Porky's Revenge

[MovieGal]

One of the ones I want to do ... has my top #1 (2) favorite English speaking films

but would contain movies like

Army of Darkness
Darkman
El Topo
The Holy Mountain
The Road Warrior
Rocky Horror
Donnie Darko
The Room

and of course,

A Clockwork Orange
The Wicker Man (original film)

[doubledenim]

This looks like great fun. If anyone needs any inspiration for their "Teen Wolf" review...

The very first time I saw her was in Hollywood Knights (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080881/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true) from 1980. Set in the 60's with muscle cars and all kinds of pranks where she played a roller skating car hop (waitress at a drive-in diner). Talk about HOT. And with the movies that followed she showed what an incredible actress she is and I've been a fan ever since.

You should get a kick out of it. It does have a National Lampoon feel to it and some great cars.
Hell, I should do a rewatch of that myself.

looking forward to your review. This is one of so very many I'm really looking forward to.

[edarsenal]

I was just lamenting over my old muscle car...ah, those were the days.

The closest I got to a muscle car was an '82 Malibu SS back in the late 90s when I lived on the east side of Detroit. It lasted about 2 weeks before it was stolen.
When I was a teen I drove around in a 76 Pontiac Station Wagon. The size of an air craft carrier. A blue behemoth that fit a twin mattress in the back making it ideal for nights at the drive in. It would fit upwards of 10 of us.
I would have gotten something nicer but my older brother was given a Javelin and the d@mn fool totaled it. So, me and my younger brother got the old family car when my dad got a newer one.

Who knows, maybe in my old age I'll get one. Like a Charger or a Challenger. Would love one of them, just for the loudness of them.

http://image.ibb.co/c202ff/teen-wolf-back.jpg


Been pretty busy working nights, if I played wonder what I'd have nominated!

[edarsenal]

I just deleted almost all of my review on accident :(

did that recently with Amelie. NOT fun :(

[gbgoodies]

I also considered nominating The Sure Thing, The Flamingo Kid, The Last American Virgin, and Little Darlings.

So glad f**kin Ferris wasn't nominated.


I also considered nominating The Flamingo Kid and Little Darlings, but I decided to go with My Bodyguard instead.

[gbgoodies]

Better off Dead was my first pick but it was taken. It was a coin toss between Dream a Little Dream or Crossroads.


You made a great choice. I love Crossroads. It's a very underrated movie, and I don't think most people have even heard of it.

[gbgoodies]

Most are comedies or happy go lucky time of nominations and not depressing but I seen one I wanted to nominate that was very depressive but it was a rare gem.. that I have never seen..

David is a high school student who seems to have the world on a string. One night while partying with his friends on a big bluff on the outskirts of town, David falls to his death. Everyone assumes it is an accident until a few days later, when David’s friend, Chris receives David’s suicide note in the mail. The suicide devastates David’s friends, family, school, and community. The rest of the film chronicles their grief and their inability to understand why David killed himself.

I might just watch it because its sounds like a great film even though its depressing.


That movie is called Permanent Record. It stars Keanu Reeves, and it's a great movie. It was #7 on my list for the Directed By Women Countdown.

I wanted to nominate Permanent Record for this HoF, but it's a very hard movie to find, and I didn't want anyone to have a problem finding my nom.

[gbgoodies]

Nominations:

Akira (1988) - I think I watched this once for one of the tournaments here, but I don't remember much about it, except I don't think it held my interest. Hopefully I'll have a better experience with it this time.

Can't Buy Me Love (1987) - I know that I've seen this, but I always get it confused with the movie Loverboy, (the movie about the pizza delivery boy). I'm looking forward to rewatching it.

Once Bitten (1985) - I haven't seen this, but it sounds like a fun movie that's not too much on the horror side.

Better Off Dead (1985) - I've seen this several times, and I always enjoy rewatching it.

Say Anything (1989) - I think I saw this a long time ago, but the only thing I remember about it is that it stars John Cusack. I like him, so I'm looking forward to rewatching it. (The DVD has been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years, so it's about time that I watched it. :lol:)

Teen Wolf (1985) - I saw this a long time ago, and I remember it being a fun movie. Michael J. Fox is always fun to watch in his teen movies, so this is another movie that I'm looking forward to rewatching.

Lucas (1986) - This is another movie that I always confuse with a different teen movie. I thought it was the movie Rudy, but that's a different teen movie. I'm not sure if I've seen this movie or not, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Stand By Me (1986) - This is a great movie that I've seen many times. It's always a good movie to rewatch.

Heaven Help Us (1985) - If this is the movie I think it is, then I think I saw it a long time ago. (If I'm right, it stars Matt Dillon's brother, Kevin.) I don't remember much about it, so I'm looking forward to watching it.

Crossroads (1986) - I love this movie. I hope it does well in this HoF because it deserves the recognition.

Three O'Clock High (1987) - I haven't seen this movie, but it's already on my watchlist, so I'm looking forward to finally watching it. (I think Gideon recommended it a while back.)

My Bodyguard (1980) - My nomination, so I hope everyone likes it as much as I do. :)

Grease 2 (1982) - I've seen this movie a few times. It's not a favorite of mine, but I can see how other people might enjoy it. It has some catchy tunes.

[gbgoodies]

I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the ages of the kids in the movie Stand By Me. They are young, but IMO this is definitely considered a "teen movie".


River Phoenix was what, sixteen when Stand by Me came out?

They don't look like teenagers...

[Zotis]

I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the ages of the kids in the movie Stand By Me. They are young, but IMO this is definitely considered a "teen movie".

They're probably complaining because the kids in Stand by Me were barely old enough to qualify as teenagers, and their characters weren't portrayed as teenagers. But I haven't heard the complaints since I haven't been following the conversation in the thread that much, so I can only speculate. I disagree about it "definitely" being considered a teen movie, but that's your opinion as you said, and you're entitled to it.






But these people look like teenagers? :confused:

https://data.junkee.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/grease2.jpg

I have no idea why you're asking me this. Those adults obviously don't look like teenagers, and the way you worded that made it sound like you thought I think they do.

The link I gave for Akira to crickets and Joel kinda sucks. Seems kissanime has went to **** with annoying ads. The film should still work but I am going to look for a more less pop uppy site.



edit: gogoanime seems to be a slightly better site

Say Anything




Say Anything possesses a certain aura of sensibility that one may not expect from a romantic comedy from the 80’s. It relies on pure feelings and the joy of feeling fulfilled by the support of another person and hopelessness when it all falls apart. Cusack plays Lloyd Dobler and Ion Skye plays Diane. Lloyd is a man who doesn't quite know what he wants to do but is quite certain about what he doesn't want to do, best shown when he expresses this sentiment, “I don't want to buy anything, sell anything, or process anything as a career.'' . Diane is the complete contrast as the Valedictorian who has put her academics and career goals above most other things in her life. After working up his courage he nervously asks her out and after some persuasion she says yes. Obviously this is unknown territory for both parties and the unique circumstances lead to the date being treated as infinitely puzzling by the people around them. Diane when asked why she came with Llyod responds “He made me laugh”


The date progresses and Diane seems to be enjoying herself, obviously happy at the way Llyod sweetly and casually checks in on her to make sure she is enjoying herself. This whole sequence really demonstrates how Llyod makes Diane feel safe and how he is a gentleman in many ways. So after the date goes well they decide to go on another which progresses into many more. The rest of the film greatly conveys themes of guilt,love, and honesty. I would say more but I don't want to give anything away.


I really wish I was a better writer so I could convey what this film expresses and just how well it executes on its themes.

[Velvet]

Akira

Really just felt very anxious with this film so not the funnest watching experience. The animation is very nice for the time and I feel it does nice for what it sets out to do but I just didnt enjoy the premise or the way it was presented. As I stated I was looking for much more relaxing films hence the reason I joined this hof but Akira was just a bit two energetic and heavy for my liking.

So basically it does what it sets out to do well but I just dont personally care for what it accomplishes. Im sure those fans of old anime films will for sure enjoy this one.

[Joel]

Nicely done, Velvet!

[TheUsualSuspect]

I have no idea why you're asking me this. Those adults obviously don't look like teenagers, and the way you worded that made it sound like you thought I think they do.

I think gbgoodies just saying that both nominations have people that don't look like teenagers but people are complaining about Stand By Me and not Grease 2.

[Joel]

If it was Little Monsters I could see that being an issue, but the kids in SBM smoke, jerk off, and runawaty from home. Its a teen movie. Thats enough loop hole for me, personally.

[edarsenal]

great start to the reviews, Velvet. And don't worry, you did a great job expressing.

[Sedai]

Hmmm, I thought someone else said they were nominating Heathers, or I definitely would have put that one up. Probably my favorite 80s teen flick....

Is it too late to change my pick?

[Velvet]

heathers is meh

[Citizen Rules]

...Who knows, maybe in my old age I'll get one. Like a Charger or a Challenger. Would love one of them, just for the loudness of them.I'd love to have a Challenger or a new Mustang. But I'm a poor boy and besides I have no place to park them.

and yeah, some of the new mustangs DO look pretty cool

[pahaK]

I actually like the fact that a very large portion of these films is lesser known films.

Before I decided I don't want to watch about a dozen 80s teen movies I was considering three films of which two would have matched that criteria.

Voyage of the Rock Aliens (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096402/) (I didn't find a workable copy anywhere but I kinda want to rewatch this at some point. Liked it as a kid and it has Michael Berryman.)

Savage Streets (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088044/) (This seemed more easily available and I'll probably rewatch it too. I don't remember it being particularly good but I remember it has great visuals topless Linda Blair.)

Red Dawn (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087985/) (The only well known film I contemplated. It's not great but it's so damn 80s.)

[Joel]

I picked my nom because I wanted a film not too obscure but also not too popular.

Its such a cool movie because it delivers on three fronts;


Touchstone 1980's humor

Craft on display for the film techies

It has a good payload for an ending.

[Rhys]

My Bodyguard (1980)

Dir. Tony Bill
(https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0082300/)
http://www.retroland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/MyBodyguardFinal.png

Clifford Pearce is a nerdy kid attending his first day at a new school and quickly becomes the target of school bully, Moody. An unlikely friendship is formed when he turns to quiet-tough-kid, Linderman (apparent murderer) for support.

Before coming into this movie I did not have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had some serious themes which it portrayed quite well. I liked that the film centered mainly around it's two main characters getting to know each other better and improving themselves through one another.

I had not heard of this film before starting this tournament and I am pleased to stay that I thoroughly enjoyed it! :)

[MovieGal]

Ok in regards to Grease 2..I never said the actors have to be teenages but portray teens. If it was based on the actors ages, all would be disqualified.

Jennifer Grey was 27 years old when she played Francis "Baby" Houseman in Dirty Dancing.

Jennifer Grey was 27 years old when she played Francis "Baby" Houseman in Dirty Dancing. I agree with you, that's why they're called actors:) Dirty Dancing would have been another good film. We'll have to do a part 2!

One of my favorite 80s teen scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjBswOwKSnk

[MovieGal]

Fun Fact:

David Foster and John Parr wrote this song specifically for the movie St. Elmo's Fire, but the song itself is about a Canadian athlete named Rick Hansen, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a car crash when he was 15. On March 21, 1985 Hansen began his "Man In Motion" tour, traveling about 70 miles a day to raise money for spinal cord research. At first, Hansen had trouble getting media attention and donations, but when this song was released with the movie in June, it became his anthem, and as the song rose up the charts, interest in Hansen's journey grew. By the time the "Man In Motion" tour was completed on May 22, 1987, Hansen had put over 40,000 Kilometers (24,856 miles) on his wheelchair in 34 countries on four continents, raising $26 million. He became a national hero in Canada, where he is closely associated with this song.

[SmudgeEFC1985]

I picked my nom because I wanted a film not too obscure but also not too popular.

That was my thinking with Lucas. My favourite 80s teen film is Some Kind of Wonderful (anyone else a fan of this?), or I could have picked any other John Hughes film, or Heathers or so many others that are well known. But I think Lucas is a quite little seen one, and one I feel quite a connection to. Packed full of proper 80s icons as well, Corey Haim, Winona Ryder, Charlie Sheen, Kerri Green, and a great 80s soundtrack.

Happy with the rest of the selections, including my own, Ive only seen 3 (Stand By Me and Say Anything the others, which I dont mind seeing again) and havent even heard of some of the others, so something new. I think I have access to a couple of the others, Ill check my sources tomorrow and let you know if there are any Im struggling to find.

Cricket said he's real busy, so he's not going to do this Hof. That's totally cool:) as the HoF just started.

So his movie Heaven Help Us (1985) is out.

Searching the major streaming sites like Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix .. this is what I found

Akira - Hulu (Sub and Dub)

Teen Wolf - Amazon Prime, Hulu

Once Bitten - Hulu, Amazone Prime

There are a few on Amazon that you can pay (rent) to watch.

[Velvet]

Did they have any good movies?

tough to say. I would say there stock isnt solid but they randomly will have really good films. Worth it if you like television alot.

basically dosent have a lot of depth movie wise but more often they have more interesting/obscure movies in comparison to Netflix

basically dosent have a lot of depth movie wise but more often they have more interesting/obscure movies in comparison to Netflix I have Netflix but not the streaming, I have the DVD which is called Netflix DVD.com or something like that. It seems that every month they have less and less of the classic movies that I love. I'm not sure why I bother with them?

[Velvet]

Same with the streaming system. I remember when they had way more classic movies but I guess nobody was watching them?
