Do you love 80's movies?
« on: June 20, 2008, 10:33:55 AM »
There are many fantastic movies made through the years but for me, nothing beats those movies from the 80's! Jennifer Conneley's Labyrinth, Never Ending Story and a lot more really created a huge impact on the audience. Aside from the fact that these movies bring back childhood memories, they also inspired me to make movies someday that are great as those flicks. I truly appreciate those people behind those amazing films. Until now, I never get tired of watching them.

Nothing beats James Spader's role in  Pretty in Pink.

I like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure as much as anyone, but I think I just don't have the 80s spirit in general, having never lived in that decade.

I still cry every time I watch 'Cocoon'.

...mostly because it's such a shitty movie

the 80's were my first decade as a human being- my first memories, my first steps, my first grade...and even i dont have the 80's spirit.

i'm the same way, 80s nostalgia sort of passes me by. the music, the films, the fashion, nothing* has any appeal to me these days.

I like that one summer beach movie that was just a giant excuse to show titties. I can't remember the title. It might have been "Waiting for Titties".

I love the part of Say Anything when John Cusack plays Cocoon for the elderly people in the nursing home.

Having gone through puberty in the 80s, the whole revival thing brought into focus just how stupid and lazy nostalgia culture is.

Having said that, it was a golden age for local late night horror hosts.

My favorite 80s movie is probably Armageddon.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.
