Hi, just surfed on in from SitePoint and like what I see - this is a great forum. My friends and I are real 80s classics fans - the films that we grew up watching. Everytime they're on the telly we're watching them, if we seem them in a video shop, we buy them. There's a great market near the college that sells some of the greatest for £3-4.
Anyway, I was just wondering what you guys grew up watching. Amongst our list of classics are:
Karate Kid 1 (been trying to find it everywhere but can't! )
All the 80s Arnie films + Conan, and especially Predator
CaddyShack
Road House
Kickboxer + most JCVD films
Heartbreak Ridge
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Die Hard
Teen Wolf, Back to the Future (Michael J. Fox stuff in general)
Rocky 1 and 2 - maybe 4 - 3 and 5 were jokes
Rambo: First Blood - take or leave 2 and 3
There are more, and I realise that this list seems like the intellectual equivalent of a nursery exam, but these were things that we enjoyed when we were less than 10 years old (I'm 20 now). Our conversations these days tend to revolve or somehow incorporate quotations from these classics.
No doubt I'll post some more when they come to me, but this is what springs to mind now. What about you? What films did you love growing up and make an effort to enjoy whenever you can now?
