Hey gang-

Been thinking about my favorite 100 movies from the best decade of the 20th century. I have a weird taste in films so some of them you probably won't reconize, but most of them you will.

Wow! That's some list! I think you'll get lots of replies to this one! There's actually a topic based on the top 100 80s films as per the members of 80sxchange.com - have you seen it?

I haven't seen the list you talked about. I need to go see it! I hope I get lots of relies cuz I love to talk about movies! It look my quite q while to think up all those movies. Had to think back at what movies I was really into during the 80's.

MONDO

So! Did you just forget about "Night of the Comets" or did you not like it? Cause that would definitely have to make my 100 top 80's movie list.

------------------
If I'm here and your here doesn't that make it our time?

OK, I fear this may be some sort of conspiracy...http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//uhoh2.gif Although I see #99 and #71 (without them...http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//icon77.gif ) I still can't see TOP GUN!!??http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//confused.gif
Surely this must be some kinda mistake,and I'll let it pass this time, but next time...http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//hammer.gifhttp://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//hammer.gif

Hehe. Your namesakes made the cut huh, Silveradocruiser. You're right though! Where is Top Gun. That definitely should be on a top 100 list...

------------------
If I'm here and your here doesn't that make it our time?

You have all my favorite movies in this list! Especially my all time favorite Blade Runner! I also loved Spacehunter: Adventures Into The Forbidden Zone. Molly Rinwald was in that, and it was so good, even though most people don't even remember it.

Hey guys-

This was a list of MY 100 FAVORITE movies of the 80's. Top Gun was okay but it's on TBS every week and I'm sick to death of it, that's why I excluded it. Shakey- yeah I totally spaced Night Of The Comet. That's a great movie! And there are tons more I could of listed but I wanted to stop at 100. Some other ones I didn't include that I really liked were...

Sharkey's Machine
An American Werewolf In London
Pink Floyd The Wall
Raise The Titanic
Death Hunt
The Last Starfighter
Phantasm
Cocoon
The Fly
Trancers
Revenge Of The Nerds
Hellraiser
A Christmas Story (althought TNT is ruining it)
Extreme Prejudice
E.T.
Krull
F/X
2010

and yes I still have a special place in my heart for the 3-D fade that swept Hollywood in the early 80's with such classics as...

Jaws 3-D
Treasure Of The Four Crowns
Metalstorm: The Destruction Of Jared Syn

Topcat-

Just a few of the better ones, alot of the forgotten. I doubt you'll find alot of them at Blockbuster anymore. A couple of weeks ago I tried to find Valley Girl & Eddie & The Cruisers & they didn't have them to rent anymore.
