Recomend a good 80s movie to the millennials or anyone really

Total Recall. "Get your ass to Mars" Damn, just checked and it's from 1990. Made in the 80s though.
Predator then.

big trouble in little china (1986)

project x

ladyhawke (1985)

flight of the navigator

star trek: the wrath of khan

My science project. 1985.

It's a B grade movie but was pretty good. An American high school student sneaks into an old Air-force graveyard with his date & stumbles across a dimensional drive from a crashed UFO. He liberates it in the hope he can use it for his science project & avoid being flunked by his teacher. ( Dennis Hopper. )



Looks like someone posted the entire movie on youtube.

Some of my favorites from the '80's not already mentioned:

Rainman
Die Hard
Pretty in Pink

Sal

Big Trouble in Little China!
Yes!!! My all time favorite movie. The video rental store guy banned me from re-renting it after a while.

Considering whose thread this is, I can't believe no one has mentioned "Ghostbusters" yet!

lol, I did say any Bill Murray film, the majority of which were made in the 80's. Mentioned 'what about bob' specifically, simply because its my favorite. Unfortunately though, I just googled it and turns out it was released in 91.

Still, it was a classic.

Oh, three more:

Revenge of the Nerds
Porky's
Airplane!

Goonies
Dirty Dancing (sorry guys)
The Lost Boys
Princess Bride
Blade Runner
Terminator
Stay By Me
Heathers
Scarface
Die Hard
Room with a View
Whitnail and I
Rosenkrantz and Gildernstern are Dead
Strictly Ballroom
Ghostbusters
Fish called Wanda
Truly Madly Deeply
When Harry Met Sally

Lol--I saw that movie when I was 9 and it scared the hell out of me!

Yeppers. Drives 'into' rather then 'through', methinks.

"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"...Though, when we showed this to my daughter, we had to explain all the cultural references


Also, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"...Sean Connery playing against type - so funny!!
