Boss 80s Films

[bigbadjeff]

The warriors was then and still is my fav film of all time. Best line " WARRIORS, COME OUT TO PLAY. WARRORS COME OUT TO PLAYEEEE"

Nice one Suits-I like a lot of Chronenbergs work-do you remember scanners, of crash?

Another shout would be gremlins!

 

[SuitsBlue]

scanners - was that with the robocop actor?

cinema paradiso
jean de florette

are the only two foreign films i can think of from the 80's.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Not forgetting a whole load of zombie/ cheap slasher gore flicks from the 80's.

Anyone else like The Beyond or other such films?

 

[atypicalusername]

Not sure-it's not very good but theres a lot of popping heads!

Have you seen Bad taste-done by the guy that ended up doing LOTR?

Robocop was alright, that scene with the guy melting and then getting run over still haunts me!

jackson did 'braindead' as well.

which is the one with the rocket launcher and the sheep?

which robocop was the one with the melting and run over person?

sounds a bit like the fly II with the elevator that crushes the security mans head.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

jackson did 'braindead' as well.

He also did Meet The Feebles which is one of the greatest films ever yet very unknown compared to his other work.

I think it was once described as The Muppet show on crack!

 

[SuitsBlue]

candy deserves a shout, still think hes very funny, whats not to like about a big fat guy with loads of one liners...

uncle buck
planes trains...
spaceballs
armed and dangerous
brewsters millions
splash
already mentioned but he had a part in the blues brothers too.

 

[atypicalusername]

Braindead put me off custard!

It was the robocop with red forman(the actors name escapes me)

Jackson did the frighteners-was [Poor language removed] exept for the inclusion of sonic youth covering "superstar" by the carpenters.

 

[McBain]

Great thread, lots of memories looking through the video shop for hours on end.
