The Thing is another great 80s movie. John Carpenter had a great decade, shame he's not so good these days.
LOL. I just happenend to be one of three people who listened to some of the DVD commentary of Ghost of Mars. I remember Natasha Hendridge sp? Saying to Carpenter "I remember showing up to work every day and you saying This is the biggest piece of **** you've ever done."
.......Proof that the thread starter is talking out of his ass.
Sure, if karate kid and back to the future can reach the top 10, the movies must really have been something back then..
If those movies came out today nobody would bother.. IMDB would've ranked it 5,5 at most.. But because they were the best of a weak era they're rated much higher.. Doesn't really make them spectalur by todays standard.
Willow
The Untouchables
Twins
This Is Spinal Tap
Superman II
Superman III
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
The Running Man
RoboCop
Poltergeist
Manhunter
Halloween II
The Fly
The Fog
E.T
The Dead Zone
Because no one in this world enjoyed Karate Kid when they were young?
I think your problem is that you don't enjoy any of the 80s films and are therefore calling them all ****?
I just believe that by todays standard most of these movies would be average at best.. serious. But because they were the best from a weak era they get that much more attention.. Okey, I may agree with a lot of the movies you posted like The Untouchables.. But I serious doubt a movie like Back To The Future or Breakfast club would be rated that high by todays standard.
People have metioned movies like pet cemetary and The Running Man .. I didn't say post any movie you might be able to sit through without killing yourself.. I said post the classic movies.. People putting up such movies in a top ten only further my beliefs in the 1980's was a weak era for the movie industry

Back to the future is a cool film if you ask me its a family film though, better than crap like nemo and that thing with the green dude i don't like a lot of modern films that have loads of CGI that you can tell is fake.

Lol, I respect your opinion but if you couldn't see that the lightning and other special effects from ''Back to the future'' was fake ......
Back To The Future or Breakfast club would be rated that high by todays standard.
Breakfast Club ranked at #1 for Entertaiment Weekly's 50 Best High School Movies (2006)
Back To The Future won an oscar as well as 12 other awards and was nominated for a further 23. Was voted number 7 in channel 4's (UK) "Greatest Family Films". Ranked #10 on the American Film Institute's list of the 10 greatest films in the genre "Sci-Fi" in June 2008.
