The Goonies . . . watched over 100 times easily...maybe close to 200

Oneyedwilly, I would have never figured you for a Goonies fan. [Wink]

I have a lot of favorites that never get old, but I'll refrain from posting a list and go with....Some Kind Of Wonderful. Perfect story/cast/soundtrack. Never gets old.
 
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
 
I too have a long list, so to the ones already mentioned I'll add...

'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'Just One of the Guys'.

Dr. Alien! You are an iconoclast for sure, Riptide! Actually, I hadn't thuoght about it before, but all the movies mentioned here so far really never get old--80's classics.
 
Posted by warriorwoman73 (Member # 9316) on :
 
I adore "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Valley Girl", as well as "Revenge of the Nerds" - a total classic 80's movie.

"Real Genius" is another favorite of mine.
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Welcome to the Rewind, warriorwoman73.. you just reeled off some classic flicks!

And craftygirl.. you can count me in as fan of Labyrinth. Oh and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to look strolling around work wearing a "Gizmo" pendant, but my co-workers might just need to find out.

And Bamersy.. thanks for saying it!

Riptide.. you need to get back to posting more!

Ronnie.. did you watch the Kevin Bacon commercial posted in the social club? The fact you enjoy Tremors should make it quite entertaining.

You have gotta love Turk 182. That was the first streaming movie I watched on Netflix several years ago.

A great topic kenkobra

For me it's

The party animal
Can't buy me love
Wisdom
Caddyshack
Bachelor party
The young warriors
Breathless
Vacation & christmas vaction
Revenge of the nerds
Reckless
First blood 1,2.
Class of 1984

Just a random few of the top of my head but in truth there's hundreds of 80s flicks I could just keep watching again and again with out them ever getting old and that includes a lot of what's mentioned here - breakfast club,Billie jean,just one of the guys,weird science etc,etc.

If I could just give a shout out to a couple of films I could watch again and again from the 70s and the 90s it would be midnight express,Halloween and the warriors from the 70s and career opportunities starring Jennifer connelly and frank Whaley from the 90s.

Hey everyone!

I have to Say" the Wizard" starring Fred Savage, Beau Bridges and Christian Slater..

Ya know, that "big nintendo ad"?

Well I admit, it is a cheesy, hollywood-machine made bubblegum-pop movie.

BUT it is also: Fun , full of adventure, a guilty pleasure and a piece of history documenting the NES Nintendo phenomenon in 1989!

Check out my movie review on it! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCgtxaSH5e0

Long live the 80s'. And anyone know where Fred Savage is these days?

I'd like to add Big Trouble In Little China. I really believe it deserves to be mentioned here !

It's incredibly fast-paced.. not a dull moment to be found.. and still funny as hell.

It would be easier to pick the ones that don't hold up.
 
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
 
Fast Times
The Goonies
I was watching Trading Places while on the treadmill at the gym on Sat. I didn't want to leave, but my legs said it was time to go. It's been a long time since I've watched the entire movie.

HardBodies

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Beverly Hills 1
 
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
 
Hardbodies is awesome as is fast times and Beverley hills cop,I see you like porky's and screwballs mike.

Have you ever seen the likes of hot dog the movie,the party animal,private school,batchelor party,my tutor etc.

I purchased hard bodies on DVD,it had both parts 1&2,I had seen part 1 before way back on vhs and loved it but had never seen part 2.
i thought the second one was a bit of a stinker!

I have seen all of them except for HOT DOG.
Ya, HARDBODIES 2 wasn't that great but somehow I still watch it once in a while.
I still Love all that juvenile high school comedy. There are a few others that I have such as JOY STICKS, HOTS,REVENGE OF THE NERDS etc. One movie that I recently got was MEATBALLS but quite frankly it was a bit of disappointment.

Most of my 80's stuff
