What is the coolest 80's movie you have seen?

Many great films were made in the 80's. Which do you think was cool?

Some I have seen are:

Big
The Lost Boys
The Secret of NIMH
The Neverending Story

(One or two of these might not have been from the 80's, Im not certain though)

What are your thoughts?

Penny Marshall's Big you find especially "cool"? OK.


In no particular order, here are ten of the tops in defining '80s cool - whatever in the Hell that means, and for me anyway...

BladeRunner (1982)
Angel Heart (1987)
After Hours (1985)
The Blues Brothers (1980)
This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
Withnail & I (1987)
The Hidden (1987)
Conan the Barbarian (1982)
To Live & Die in L.A. (1985)

Hell yes, Big was damn cool. You wouldn't believe how bad I wanted one of those giant piano thingamajigs.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - for obvious reasons
Goonies
Ghostbusters
Predator - you gotta admit, it was bada*s.
Batman

Gremlins
Beetlejuice
Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom

There are way too many good 80's movies. I can't list them all.

Definition of Cool?

Right here. Can ya' dig it?

No, neither Richard Roundtree or I can dig it.

I'll agree with that, especially pretaining to my definition of "cool".

add to that one:
Batman
The Untouchables
Fatal Attraction
Back to the Future

Without a doubt Withnail and I is for me the coolest film that came out of that decade...thankfully carrying a total of 0% cheese.

Blue Velvet

There's more... I know there is...

Raising Arizona was pretty funny. How about St. Elmos Fire. That was pretty cool.

Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where the future's lyin'
St. Elmo's fi-re

Do you like know a quote from every movie known to man???

Nope. But I do know the theme song to St. Elmo's Fire. You could say it's burnin' in me.

D'oh. I am an ass. I totally forgot those two. Well done, Boo.

I used to have something like that floor piano that Tom Hanks danced on in Big. I had fun with it for awhile. I always thought the fortune teller game he played looked way cooler.

I think everyone wanted that piano. I certainly did.
