Back To The Future

Indiana Jones

Ghostbusters

E.T.

Beverly Hills Cop

Naked Gun

Airplane

Die Hard

Crocodile Dundee (loved it as a kid)

(and I expect stick for this) Top Gun

 

But Back To The Future is clearly the best.

 

One of my mates openly spreads the word that top gun is his favourite film. I don't think he has picked up on the subtle themes running through the film

Another tremendous 80s film is that one where Stallone is locked up, and his wife comes in the guards say they can have 30 minutes for a shag and they change their mind 30 seconds later, can't remember what it's called. Big scene in the yard with them playing yank football in the yard.

I've stopped now.

 

FYI out of all the people I follow, around 80, the only people that have ever posted pics of themselves are Robbie Savage and EMO.....Oh, and you :)

 

Speaks volumes imo

It was a picture of me and my wife before a night out you bizarre little man

 

It speaks volumes that you find that strange enough to comment on tbh

 

You will also notice that at no point was I following you on twitter as I genuinely have no interest in you on this board or off it. Seriously Dr weird, move on with your life.

Aye AA, Bladerunner is one of my all time faves too. Also one of my favourite cheesy punning barber shop names :D

I hope the Midnight Run sequel never comes about. JWTBH.

And whilst we're on the subject of Stallone, has anyone mentioned Over the Top? :lol:

The word movie gets on my tits. Film pleased pronounced filum in geordie.

 

Two other good shows from the 80s no ones mentioned is Planes Trains and Cars. I loved John Candy so much RIP. Also Stand By Me was an excellent show, good story line, shame the laddie died recently in real life.

People calling movies "shows" gets on my tits. :razz:

I use films more than shows, "a canny show" is Tyneside WMC crack as opposed to yank. What's better?

 

I worked in a WMC. We served root beer and the patrons loved a good movie.

 

I wouldn't base my idea of a good vocabulary on what I heard in that place though.
