#21.....the crazy thing is only Shuke picked it, and had it at #3 I believe......so out of 5 people only one person thought it belonged in the top 200 of the decade.....how is that even possible?

Judge Smails is an all timer. Chevy is ok. Dangerfield is pretty good but not my thing. It’s not my favorite Murray. The caddy stuff is awful. It’s got funny bits but is kind of a mess- would probably be in my top 125 though- I still like it.I dont have time to keep up with the thread, but can we talk about this?
How is Caddyshack not on everyone's list? Sure, the Oscar 101 crew dont like true blue 'merican movies, but only Shuke even had it on his list? We have been through what, 5 top 100 lists of movies of the 80s and only 1 person has it in their top 100?
Unfnbelievable
I was 3 years old when this came out. Not exactly the target demographic. I did of course see it later in life and I liked it (it's in my "next 100") but it doesn't resonate as much as other 80s comedies do. Ghostbusters has obvious appeal to kids. Porky's has teets. Fast Times is about young people, etc and also has teets. Caddyshack is about... golf.
The caddy stuff is awful?
Please share better Murray than Caddyshack. If you say Ghostbusters i'll toss another flag on the play for intentional delay of game!

Because of our criteria. This keeps coming up and there are a few things at work here.
Myself, I'm not trying to replicate an IMDB top films of the decade list. That's pointless to me. Why bother if this is going to be your criteria. I'd rather see lists of people's favorites, understanding why they are their favorites, etc.
Also, this next 100 list came out of the original thread where a ton of 80s classics were not picked, which is fine because their criteria explained it. That said, a lot of people, myself included, consider the 80s to be the decade of the blockbuster, and many in the original list were either ranked low or left off. Hence this thread was born and at least for me, is heavy on those types of movies.
So it's a combination of going heavy on the types of movies I felt were missing on the first list, and personal favorites. Also, Oscar winning cinema like Harry and the Hendersons.

Username check outDrugs.And apparently Caddyshack was her last movie (according to IMDB)Speaking of, I forgot that the actress who played Maggie (Sarah Holcomb) was also the mayor’s underage daughter in Animal House.I was 4 when It came out. It's easily a top 20 for me in the decade....And there are boobs.....also Smails' granddaughter....super hotI dont have time to keep up with the thread, but can we talk about this?

The introduction of Hannibal Lecter to the big screen. Also the introduction of Will Graham, who was the centerpieces of the underappreciated NBC series Hannibal.
Featuring one of my favorite ever movie scenes using music. This is pretty spoilery if you haven't seen this and are planning to. I highly recommend.

Hell yes. My favorite non-80s 80s movie. This is the only one that kind of breaks my criteria because I saw it well after the 80s after seeing Silence of the Lambs, and instantly loved it.
The only thing that is superior about the 2000s remake was Anthony Hopkins. I love Raph Fiennes as an actor, but Tom Noonan was so damn creepy as Dolarhyde. No comparison to me.

Great choice. I was hoping this one would make it. Right on about the end music.
I watched this when it came out and thought it was pretty good, I was surprised it wasn't more highly regarded. Then Silence of the Lambs came out and this really got pushed into a corner. I mean no one is going to say there are anywhere near each other in quality, but this one was pretty good on its own merits.

I like it slightly better than even Raiders.
When looking at the trilogy, IMO, the action sequences are better, the soundtrack is better, it has the most diverse, exotic locations, and the “artifact” is better. Just a perfect action/adventure movie. This makes my top 10 overall, not just my “next” top 10.
