Greatest 80s Movie - Group A

[Bjornebye]

Top 2 go through 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[YorkshireRed]

Once Upon A Time In America and Midnight Run. 

[Harry's Lad]

E.T and Once Upon a Time in America. 

[SasaS]

The Thing and Once Upon a Time in America, which didn't age too well.

 

It was one of my favourite films  when I was younger, but every time I watch it again, I like it a little bit less, whilst with Godfathers, the older I get I appreciate them more.

[Strontium]

Heck of a first group, this. But Naked Gun is not a better comedy than Princes Bride or P,T&A.

[Bjornebye]

E.T and Plains, Trains & Automobiles. 

[Juniper]

The Thing & Extra Terrestrial: The Extra Terrestrial  

[Tony Moanero]

E.T. and Midnight Run

[Carvalho Diablo]

ET can fuck off, doesn't he know that Luke Skywanker invented him?

[The Midnight Rambler]

Not a strong group, in my opinion. 

 

I've heard good things about Once Upon a Time in America, but I've never seen it. The same goes (but less so) for The Princess Bride and The Thing. Lost Boys is rubbish. Midnight Run and Planes, Trains & Automobiles are enjoyable (although both have passages of disappearing up their passages). Naked Gun is very funny, but - as a TV spin-off - not hugely original.  (Still, it's better than Holiday On The Buses.)

E.T. is the stand-out classic here. Spielberg is the master of manipulating the audience's emotions and he pushes every button with this.

Do yourself a favour, watch the Princess Bride.  Just as enjoyable for kids as for adults,  a real feelgood film with memorable lines and great humour. One of my all time favourite films.

Don't think I've seen it since I was about 10. Maybe I should revisit.

 

Went for Princess Bride and Naked Gun. The Thing misses out by a mutated gnat's mandible.

I enjoyed ET but it's far from a great film and far from being one of Spielberg's best.

It absolutely is a great film

I have never seen E.T. and probably never will. Looked complete shit at the time and still does.

In fairness, it's miles better than Star Wars.

 

A good family film without a bunch of trannies wrapped in tin foil and bondage gear.

E.T.'s elbows too pointy, 2/10

Nah, ET is the ultimate family film.

 

I'm maybe a bit nostalgic for it because it's the first film I can remember watching but it's pretty much perfection in terms of that genre in my opinion. I'm looking forward to watching it with my two boys.
