So I've been strutting around the neighborhood wearing my awesome new 80's t-shirt. Such an incredible design from The Chop Shop and Graphic Designer Timo Meyer .. 22 icons that represent 22 films from the 80's! But here's the deal.. the t-shirt came without instructions as to which 80's flick each icon represents..
I've been able to figure out most of them, but thought it might make for a little interesting Rewind discussion as we try to solve my 80's t-shirt riddle.
So let's have some fun.. if you have a guess.. just click the " " icon you think you know and share your thoughts.
Some are brilliant icons in my opinion.
My new plan is to develop icons for my fav 80's movies and then print my own original t-shirt!

Valley, that is a cool shirt, but I must be slow, cause I maybe got 6/22...
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Secret .. for now until others join in.. go ahead a post one of the answers.. then come back later and name as many as possible.
I will admit.. there are more than a few I'm still working on and hope others have a guess.
Posted by kevdugp73 (Member # 5978) on :

Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Ronnie.. 'The Karate Kid' and 'War Games' are definitely correct! I'm not sure on 'The Princess Bride', but I love the idea of it.

Muffy.. I like your thinking, but I'm pretty sure this one is "48 HRS."
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
logan5 and Devo.. "The Terminator " and "They Live" icons are two of my favs. But the best is "The Goonies"!!

I think I know a few more, but I'll let others try....I can't believe I didn't get the Gremlins one! Funny how the brain works sometimes...or doesn't work.....
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
kev.. I'm in agreement with each of your choices.. "Spaceballs" and "The Goonies" are definite. And I love the "Die Hard" icon. It took me awhile to figure that one out because I kept thinking of Cousin Eddie in a t-shirt from "Christmas Vacation".. but I'm so with you on "Die Hard" now.
Devo.. I like the "Clash of the Titans" suggestion.. that is an icon that isn't easily figured out.. "The Heavenly Kid", "Date With An Angel".. probably a more well known movie like Clash though.
Muffy.. I appreciate you playing.. trust me there a more than few that I'm guessing on. Keep suggesting!

Devo, i only posted a couple like valley asked so that others could join in as well.
i agree with Devo on the Platoon one, but Kevdug got me on the santa clause hat and muscle shirt, i think he's right,...i was thinking christmas vacation haha.

Ronnie...I agree with Ghostbusters.
logan5...can you explain the Raiders of the Lost Ark pic...I can't make sense of the image even with you telling me what it is!
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
It looks like the Ark - except it isn't gold. I could be imagining things. I was just throwing it out there.

You guys are all wrong on this one...it's obviously two monkeys about to embrace in a kiss...so...Project X! Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Okay.. Ronnie is correct on "Ghostbusters" since at least three of us agree!
logan5 is correct on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Good Morning Vietnam".. I'm pretty sure he is correct on "Full Metal Jacket" too. But, I believe the cop badge is actually "RoboCop" though.
So far.. the wings could be anything, but nothing seems to fit perfectly. So what's left.. I think we have come up with some incredible answers!
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
Robocop sounds good.
I suggested Top Gun because of 'Mighty Wings'.
Is there any way of actually finding out what the images are - after we've gone through them all?

You always get an 'A' for enthusiasm!
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
logan5.. I'm actually working on that angle right now. I've invited Timo Meyer the graphic designer for the t-shirt to stop by the Rewind.
I'm pretty sure that we have at least 18-20 of the icons figured out..
I want to know the 'Clash of the Top Gun for a Date with the Heavenly Kid' wings icon!
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
i thought the badge was robocop as well.
valley, i encourage you to make your own shirts, my husband has made me a few shirts over the years and i love them. one has a skull he drew and it says Zombie Squad, and another that says Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde. sounds cheesy but the shirts are really cool. i have begged him to make me that Bruno-x shirt i've told you about, but who knows how copyrights are....
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
Weren't wings part of the emblem of 'Last Starfighter'? I get the impression that these movies are stone-cold classics, so I reckon it's got to be BIG. I'm gonna stick with Top Gun since it's so iconic.

He's trying to tell you something.
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
you're so smart, how did you guess? Posted by Bodhi Zephyr (Member # 9067) on :
nice tee! i'm 6/22 too! so how do you '' '' those icons above?
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
I just heard from Timo Meyer and he says we have almost all of them correct. He gave me a clue that answered the wings icon.. there is no way that I would have ever thought of it.. but the correct answer is:
"Brazil"
I'm verifying a few more and then I'll confirm them all.
Thanks to everyone that participated .. it was a blast!
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
Oh man I kept thinking a movie where someone gets their wings or something?
I don't think of Brazil as being that huge of a movie in the 80's? more of a cult classic now? but maybe it was?? sorry to change the subject off the tee.....but I can see how we were all left guessing Posted by Kowalski (Member # 8412) on :
