Re: Top Ten movies of the '80s
I won't make a top 10 just yet, it is so tough. One of the best decades for film in my opinion.
|
Still have lots to see, of course, but here's my ten, in no particular order:
Back to the Future (Zemeckis, '85) The Breakfast Club (Hughes, '85) Airplane! (Zucker, Abrahams & Zucker, '80) Raiders of the Lost Ark (Spielberg, '81) The Princess Bride (Reiner, '87) Sex, Lies, and Videotape (Soderbergh, '89) Dead Poet's Society (Weir, '89) Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Heckerling, '82) When Harry Met Sally... (Reiner, '89) Do the Right Thing (Lee, '89) |
Re: Top Ten movies of the '80s
My personal favorite 10 of the 80s in no order are...
Back to the Future (zemeckis) Ghostbusters (reitman) The Burbs (Dante) A Nightmare on Elm Street (craven) Big Trouble in Little China (carpenter) The Thing (carpenter) Blood Simple (Coen bros) Day of the Dead (romero) The Terminator (cameron) Beetlejuice (burton) Honorable mention ET, Poltergeist, every film Directed by John Hughes and about the 10 others he wrote. Basically every Carpenter, Craven, Dante film of the 80s, and Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedie. So many more. Tough to make a top 10. |
