Top 101 Movies of the 80s (3 Viewers)

[JAA]

I have this sneaking suspicion that none of John Carpenter's 80's movies (Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, They Live) are making this list.

Since you mentioned EfNY ...

Loved the movie. IIRC was somewhat novel of the time to have that genre. Except maybe another movie I wont mention risk a disc to the head.

RAISING ARIZONA
E.T.

Our #16 picks on our list. Remember the post from last night - basically all the movies we will see today were only on one of our lists, but when ranked they were in our top 20: so one of us love it, and the other not so much. I was laughing a little last night thinking about my experience in the theaters in the early 80s. I was terrified of E.T., and then Gremlins scared me. It's a wonder I bothered continuing to watch movies, but maybe that set me up for a love of horror later? Everybody cooing about E.T. but me having flashbacks fof ET in the closet, screaming, and looking like a piece of white dog ****. I didn't get the love at the time, but it has warmed my heart over the years.

Gonna be honest here, I thought E.T. was going to be #1.

Raising Arizona is what put the Cohens on my radar, and I still love quoting this film, as do a lot of folks around here, I see.

Maybe I’ll give ET another shot.

don't.

When I watched again in my 20s I thought it was lame.

If you think the movie was lame, did you ever play the Atari game? There's a documentary on it that's worth watching.

49/50:

SOMETHING WILD [prime]
THE LOST BOYS [tubi]

The first one is 80s' #23 pick. That's a big one, so @Ilov80s should pimp that one. The Lost Boys was on both of our lists, but his was a much more reasonable #90 rank to my #34. This movie rules, as does Windex for cologne.

I love the Lost Boys. Excellent pick, though I would prolly have it 10-20 picks higher. I mean, the Frog Brothers? This is an absolute cult classic. I doubt we will see License to Drive in the OP lists, but another great Corey movie.

The other movie? Never heard of it

You’ve got some catching up to do. Jonathan Demme, Melanie Griffith, Ray Liotta, Jeff Daniels.

For whatever reason, I always saw Ray Liotta as a B actor. I couldnt get into him. I enjoy Jeff Daniels, love Melanie, and meh on Demme. Ray is one of the reasons I didnt like Goodfellas. Though, I can appreciate his popularity as so many relate to him.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I’ve never seen field of dreams

You are less than 32 years old

43, just never watched it when I was younger and I have a feeling that it’s one of those that if I watched it now I just wouldn’t be that impressed. I like sports movies too so i don’t know

 

[KarmaPolice]

Nothing really to do with the plot, but E.T. to me had among the best residential neighborhoods. Totally wanted to live in a neighborhood like that when I first saw it as a kid.

Last time I watched it, I was high and was way too obsessed with the geography of the neighborhood. WTF are they that they have that much room in the back yard, but when they show the streets it looks like there are a ton of houses.?

They live at the edge of suburban sprawl. I think that adds to the sense of isolation and the "where do I belong" dilemma that Elliot feels.

That's what I thought, but then sometimes it didn't look that that. Keep in mind the state I was in as well. It just felt like sometimes they were at the end of a culdesac, and sometime it's shot like a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere.

I will concede...it makes no sense that there's a cornfield in their back yard.

there was a cornfield in ET? wow... I don't remember that at all. or are we still talking about Field of Dreams?

When Eliott goes out to the shed where ET is hiding.

 

[JAA]

I would love to hear what movies people have watched from the decade that maybe they once loved, but don't quite hold up now, or vise versa - what has grown on you as an adult. That was a huge theme and struggle when I was doing my top 100. I have more coming up, but the examples of Ghostbusters and E.T. are that for me. If we did this 30 years ago, Ghostbusters would probably be in the top 10 minimum, and E.T. might not have shown up.

THe one which has dropped the most for me is Karate Kid. Still love it, but I remember LOVING IT!!

One I can think of is Romancing the Stone. I really liked it when I was younger for whatever reason, but watched it again recently, and it's just awful.

Also, many of the Friday the 13th movies are just bad. When you're a kid watching them, all you focus on is the next kill and how awesome it will be. Then you go back as an adult and wonder what you were thinking.

Love the movie. Though prolly more as to the connection I had with my Mom on it :rip:

 

[TripItUp]

I know this is crazy, but I never really connected with E.T. as a kid and it's difficult for me to provide a reason. Might barely crack my top 100.

As an example I have Goonies as a far superior movie.

I must not be in the minority because Goonies gets replayed probably 100 times more on cable than does E.T. Nobody goes back to watch E.T. 10 times, but they do for Goonies.

SOMETHING WILD [prime]

Exhibit B that Jeff Daniels is underrated.

#48: BULL DURHAM [hbo max]

My #22 pick. I think I took this in a draft as best sports movie. I don't like a ton of sports movies, or Keven Costner movies for that matter, so this it's a rare one that I love like this movie. My wife and I watched it last night and had a blast.

Still arguably my favorite baseball movie to this day. Used to love quoting the "Nuke's uptight because his eyelids are jammed" speech whenever there was a conference at the mound during my son's games, as well as other lines at other appropriate times. At least once in travel ball, I yelled Get a hit, Crash! at my son; he told me to shut up.

There is no world where Bill Durham makes it into the top 2 sports movies of the 80s. The 2 best baseball movies of all time are in the 80s and Bill Durham isnt one of them.

No spoilers here



PS - all this typing and clicking has broken my Amazon Basics mouse. THANK YOU!

Never said it was one of THE top sports movies, rather it's one of MY.TOP.BASEBALL.MOVIES. I have my own reasons for rating it so high and I don't hold anyone to that standard. I don't expect anyone else to see it the way I do. See if this helps:

better not ... nothing left in his oeuvre deserves a seat at the remaining table, especially with what is left out there.

I have a very soft spot for 16 Candles and still love it (sheesh!)... but at this point, yeah- there are a LOT of great movies left. I'd have put it in the bottom 25 of my 100. the rest of his, including one that might appear here, I didn't completely dig.

FIELD OF DREAMS
SPOORLOS (aka The Vanishing) [criterion]

These are our #17 picks. I watched The Vanishing for the first time in a decade or more last fall and was blown away by how tense I was and how good the movie was. The woman who played Saskia was great.

Field of dreams - arguably the best sports movie of all time, ranked #41 in best movies of the 80s.

Is there a best movies draft? Im so in

there's much better sports movies from the 80s that will likely feature soon. I like Field of Dreams too, but in this case, it seems about right to me.

Field of Dreams, despite it having baseball and baseball players in it, is not a sports movie. It's about reconciling your past and present selves.

AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS [hbo max, criterion]
BATMAN [hbo max]

80s' #21 pick, and Batman was on both at #63 and #59. What cultural phenomenon Batman was. I must have seen it 4 or 5 times.

wha?



Did you mistype Au Bon Pain?

Sure, 46 to "Who are you?" Batman is a solid ranking. Just that its how many spots ahead of ROTA and ROTJ? You can make a case Jack Nicholson setup the character for Joaquin Phoenix in Joker (and Ledger), but other than that, what does the movie bring?

I just find it entertaining and while I don’t always like Burton, I thought his eccentric approach was a great fit for Gotham. Jack is incredible and it really helped jumpstart the comic book movie thing (which maybe is a reason I should hate it). I’m not a superhero fan but I’m a sucker for Batman.

I get the people upset about Raiders. It was in my top 30. Those complaint about Jedi? Come on. I’m glad KP liked it but that was such a letdown after Empire. It did it’s job in wrapping up the trilogy and selling lots of toys but it’s just an ok movie.

[scorchy]

I loved Raiders when I was younger but I get KP's point. There's a difference between "amazing in it's time/hugely influential" and "really holds up." When I watched it with my son and one of his friends, they thought the action was hokey and the special effects lame. In fact, I can't remember hearing a teenager today talk about how they love Indiana Jones.

Either way, can we all agree that Temple of Doom was awful, no matter how much we liked it as kids?

If Im being honest, I want to hate ToD. Everytime I watch it I go in thinking "Oh, this is the bad one". Everytime I finish it I get reminded that its a decent movie. Now, prolly not 100 of the 80s, but the more I want to hate it, the more I dont.

It's interesting to me to hear about the reactions of more "casual" movie watchers when it comes to calling effects "cheesy". I think I know what they mean - they're trying to say "primitive".

But why does that diminish the enjoyment of the show? They exist, mostly, to further the presentation of the story. So the judgement, if there is any, should be compared to the effects available at the time.

Are practical effects more primitive than CGI? I suppose. But when I watch The Thing or Raiders of the Lost Ark or older movies like Metropolis or The Lost World my appreciation RISES because I know the effort that went into crafting the models by hand and the clever technical solutions that were devised to get the shot. Painting on a computer don't impress me much.

it all impresses me, if done well.

raiders had great effects for the time- not cheesy. gradschool mates shared a visual effects Oscar on What Dreams May Come- those were incredible for the time, and now probably also outdated.

it's hard to watch these older effects driven films with kids- primarily because the effects are so outdated. Even one of my all time top 5- which I expect to see soon here- looks outdated. Lucas had to add in a bunch of pointless crap before the reboot just to keep the original trilogy from suffering the same fate.

The Cobra Kai Series brought back my love for Karate Kid, as I'm sure it did with many.

Yea - I think I mentioned that in my commentary on the pick. Though Cobra Kai season 1 was unbelievable. Since then the teen drama can be hard to follow at times.

 

[JAA]

So - if Im ranking "worst pick of the draft" up to this point Im prolly ranking it this way for my top 3:

1. Raiders of the Lost Arc
2. Ghostbusters
3. Goonies

I could be positioned to say Goonies borders on a "cult classic" and less mainstream. I mean, lots of people love it but it probably falls more to my exact age (born in 75).

I have Ghostbusters and Raiders very close. I think a case could be made Ghostbusters is the better movie due to actors, script, and novel plot. However, Raiders is a BLOCKBUSTER. So many sequels, roller coaster rides, personas, scene's, and meme's. I have Raiders #1 as it appeals to the masses, all ages (sans face melting), all the time. Was there a prior movie which had a female beating a male in a drinking contest? And how did all those snakes survive in the tomb?

I know I wasn’t the only one that mentioned it but to be clear, it wasn’t the FX my wife thought were cheesy. It was the whole movie.

I don't think anyone hates Last Crusade. It's Curse of Monkey Island that's loathed.
