80's flashback.......

Im an 80's child so I remember alot of the movies... What was your favorite 80's movie?
Mine is Sixteen Candles and Maximum Overdrive!

Hands down, The Outsiders. Followed closely by The Breakfast Club. St. Elmo's Fire runs a close third. I love all of these movies!

Well I was born in '89 lol but I still like watching 80's movies. Mine would be For Keeps most likely.

I belonged to the cult following of James Dean during my teens, so I would say my fave movie (of his) was East of Eden.

In my early teens, I really liked Stand By Me (also loved River Phoenix - RIP) and later, Some Kind of Wonderful.

I can't choose just one, they were all so good! I loved Clash of the Titans, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Risky Business, Born in East L.A., etc. And I love the 80s music, too!

The Breakfast Club

I'm gonna join the bandwagon and say Breakfast Club. Hands down. I had it bad for Judd Nelson.

If I had to pick a second it would be The Blue Lagoon. Man was that one controversial at the time.

I love Turk 182 (that nobody except my Dad and me remember!), Teen Wolf and so many more!

My mind went blank once I started to type!

I LOVE Turk 182 but have to go with ALL the John Hughes movies (16 Candles, Breakfast Club, Weird Science, etc.)

Turk 182 was a great movie!
Dixiedarlin mentioned Maximum Overdrive, I have to drive over that bridge that ws in the opening sequence every time I go home to Georgia. It gives me the shivers!

Whenever I'm in need of a good cry...I watch Beeches. Did that come out in the 80's? I don't really remember the movies that were out when I was a kid except for that and Dirty Dancing.

I am a big John Hughes Fan.. Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, The National Lampoon Vacation movies.... all great movies.

How about E.T.? Flashdance, Mac and Me, The Principal, and the oh so steamy (at least the it was) 9 1/2 weeks!


What about TV shows?
Night Court, Cosby Show, Mr Belvedere

American Werewolf in London!

And... I don't remember too many shows from the eighties, as I was still a littlun. Probably something from Nickelodeon. Beetlejuice or You Can't Do That On TV or something.

LOVE The Breakfast Club!

I used to visit my aunt in Milwaukee when I lived farther away, every summer. To stay entertained, we watched A LOT of movies! I watched Labyrinth, Can't Buy Me Love, Dirty Dancing, Beetlejuice and Breakfast Club at least twice a day over the course of those summers.

The 80's...ahh...I was in high school, so there are too many fond memories to list! John Hughes was definately the best. I lost count of how many times I saw his movies. Then there was Prince. I have to say, Purple Rain is still on my list of faves! Otherwise, like I said, too many to mention. But, I still have a huge crush on John Cusack!!!!

Yeah, but his sister leaves much to be desired.....

I would have to say my favorite 80's movies are :
1. Less Than Zero (1987)
2. The Lost Boys (1987)
3. Uncle Buck (1989) Boy, I miss John Candy.
4. The Breakfast Club (1985)
5. Footloose (1984)
6. Witness (1985)
7. The Terminator (1984) This one still rates #1 on the creepy/cheesy factor !

ooooooohh I love the national lampoon vacation movies!
