Out of those these are worthy of comment
Little Shop of Horrors - “feed me Seymour “
The Man With Two Brains - “I couldn’t **** a gorilla “ might be the funniest line Steve Martin has ever spoken
Over the Top - I mean how did a movie about arm wrestling get the green light
Mr. Mom - “you can’t feed a baby chili”
Puppetmaster - haven’t seen any of these in years, but I liked the scary little puppets
I’m gonna get you sucka - KP mentioned this one, I haven’t seen in years but I remember it being pretty funny
Critters - watched this one a few years ago, still holds up pretty good. Leo DiCaprio stars in part 3 and part 4 is in space with Angela basset. You know a horror franchise has staying power when they go to space
UHF - “red snapper, very tasty!”

Skin Deep - all I really remember was the glow in the dark rubbers fight

Main character’s younger brother telling Sherilyn Fenn that his ”brother” was an androgynous DBag was an underrated moment.

Bachelor Party had drugs, boobs, trannys, bestiality, and Tom Hanks, so….yeah

Buddy is the Mt. Rushmore of obnoxious ‘80s movie younger siblings.

The great thing about baseball movies is...we have so many different takes and stories. The Natural is a story all in it’s own. Eight Men Out a totally different motif. Factual and the dark side of sports. Major League.....pure comedy. Bull Durham just such a great take on minor league ball and the bus league life. Field of Dreams...the magic of baseball. The Sandlot......the joy of being 12 and playing baseball with your friends literally everyday in the summer and getting into trouble.
You can’t go wrong with any of them.....all of them fantastic sports movies on America’s past time. I love em all.

... or the poignant human drama of mortality in "Bang The Drum Slowly" - that's a world unto itself.

Ugh. Fix your formatting!!

Oh, hell yeah! I totally forgot about this gem. I always forget it's a Romero movie, too.
Another horror movie I always dug back in the day was Witchboard. Probably crap if I watched it now though. Tawny Kitaen though.
Both are on Tubi. Double feature tonight, 80s nerds?

Cameron’s Closet is another horror I remember liking as a kid, no idea if it holds up, my guess is it doesn’t

Even "The Scout" and "Little Big League?"

I was hinting at April Fools Day in the other thread. It made an amazing double feature with Bodies Bodies Bodies the other night.
Don Quixote
Footballguy
Would not make my top 100 either, but was just thinking about “Zorro, The Gay Blade” and wanted to give it an honorable mention. Pretty stupid, but enjoy it anyway.
New Binky the Doormat

With the lovely Deborah Foreman. To that end, Valley Girl would have been in my top 100.

Yoooooooo, has no one mentioned Streets of Fire (A Rock n Roll Fable)? Really fun movie, young Willem Defoe as the bad guy, and the best Diane Lane you'll ever see. I love this move, and it's rewatchable.
Amazing opening scene

Man....it was so so corny!!! Definitly a fun 80’s movie......and that dude is forever.....Eddie!!!
And thats another one......Eddie and the Cruisers.....love that flick. True story.....went to a double feature with my dad back in 83 I think? Eddie and the Cruisers was the first movie and the feature film was Coal Miners Daughter. Another great movie that is a gem.

I don't know how this movie went off the rails. Maybe it took itself too seriously or was perceived that way?
massraider
Footballguy
What genre do you put it in? it was this weird 50's nostalgia, but through an 80's lens. So you had 50's greasers, and neon stages and skinny ties. But done on purpose, like an alternate reality. They never tell you where you are, it's Detroit/Chicago-ish, directed by Walter Hill, so it looks awesome. Music was amazing, Ry Cooder, The Blasters, even a great 80's One Hit Wonder by Dan Hartman.
80's cast? Amazing. Rick Moranis, the hooker from The Warriors, Bill Paxton gets punched out at LEAST twice in this movie, and that little weird girl that was in all the 80's movies, EG Daily. Lee Ving from Fear as the biker henchman. This movie rulez

It reminds me of a Meatloaf album, all the way down to the 2 Jim Steinman songs in the soundtrack.
Charlie Steiner

Well, it tells us at the very beginning, it's a Rock and Roll Fable. It's everything you describe and nothing more or less. It was Blackboard Jungle meets Wizard of Oz meets Heart of Darkness.
As for the cast, you didn't even mention the R n B backing trio of Robert Townsend, Mykleti (Forrest Gump's best good friend Bubba) Williamson and Grand L. Bush (Agent Johnson--no, the other one) . Just heavy hitters everywhere.
If you look up the term Guilty Pleasure in the dictionary, it's on page 1.

Even though I didn't take it for granted when it came out, I wish I could go to one more midnight showing and experience it all over again.
I thought it was here, but I guess @Loc-nar was on a different FF board.
