I think movies were better back then.

Answer 5

Ferris, Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Can't Buy Me Love, The Dark Crystal, Flight of the Navigator, My Stepmother is an Alien, Batteries Not Included, The Never-ending Story, The Princess Bride, Short Circuit, Labyrinth,Cocktail......man, I love the eighties.

Answer 6

Here's a list of my all time-favourites from that era, in no particular order

1) When Harry Met Sally - watch this one for everything that you need to know about love and relationships.

2) Life of Brian - I think this was from the late '70s, but for me it is one of the funniest movies ever!

3) Gandhi - Attenborough served to portray Gandhi as a great man, but with flaws. I watch this movie recently and was amazed that such a man lived and inspired 350 million Indians to stand up against the British Empire , but IN A NON-VIOLENT way. Mahatma Gandhi inspired Martin Luther King, the father of the civil rights movement in the US. If only we had a such a man amongst us now. But I digress.

4) Tootsie

5) Alien and Alien 2 - Ripley Rocks!

6) The Terminator

7) Ferris Bueller's Day Off

8) Jerry Maguire - This is the only movie of Tom Cruise that I have liked ever.

9) Blade Runner - my favourite sci-fi movie of all time.

10) Schindler's List

11) The return of Martin Guerre - Gerard Depardieu is the world's best actor.

Answer 7

I like most of all those previously mentioned. A couple that I like that I have not seen mentioned are:

The Princess Bride ...."Inconceivable!"
No Way Out
Shattered
Dreamscape

And if you count 1994 as still "early 90's" then "The Shawshank Redemption" may be one of the best EVER...what a sham that it lost Best Picture to that excruciatingly long and boring movie "The English Patient".

Also, if you would like a good movie SET in the 80's, try "Grosse Pointe Blank"

Answer 8

Definitely Ferris Bueller and New Jack City

Answer 9

Sixteen candles, The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, Teen Wolf. Anything with Molly Ringwald or Michael J Fox. My #1 favorite of the eighties: DIRTY DANCING

Answer 10

Ferris Bueller
The breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink
Only You
Dirty Dancing...just to name a few...
