Seriously stuggling to think of a really bad film from the 80's

Answer 2

The 80s wasn't precisely a classic decade for movie making - given how large the 70s have been for traditional movies. It exchange into the decade of the blockbuster movie, and alter into relatively Speilberg's era. it is likewise the decade the place the Brits have been meant to step forward - what passed off? :-). i assume it exchange into additionally the era the place Meryl Streep became an Oscar usual for her roles in Silkwood, Sophie's selection and Out of Africa. the main suitable videos ought to be Raging Bull; ET; Tootsie; Out of Africa; Elephant guy; coaching Rita; Amadeus; the colour crimson; Platoon; Do the spectacular ingredient; A Passage to India; Silkwood; A Room with a View; risky Liaisons. Worst? Take your p.c.., simply by fact the studios began to mount sequel upon sequel.

stinkers include - Top Gun, Always, Sixteen Candles

Answer 5

Highs would have to include Ghostbusters, Terminator, Aliens, as well as horror staples like Critters, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday 13th, etc.

Worst... well there's the whole crappy teen movie scene that was going on. With the exception of Ferris Bueller, they were all a bit pants.

Answer 6

My movies highs in the 80's were Ghostbusters(all of em) and Superman(both of em) Starstruck. The 80's was great for me with movies because I am a sci fi freak, Star wars, I loved em all. I can't think of any low points.

Answer 7

standouts for me -
