TheNewGirl 1,047 Posted December 28, 2007 is it 1986 again? I totally love those 80's movies. LOVE THEM, and they are ones that I can watch over and over and over. Nothing wrong with being nostalgic, and honestly, there aren't that many great movies out there that 1) I don't all ready own, and 2) are worth purchasing.

TheNewGirl 1,047 Posted December 28, 2007 actually, i like all 3 of those 80's movies. I think that they are the 80's equivalent to the "American Pie" movies and the like. Some of the same actors/directors, etc. Of course, not as much sex and toilet humor, but funny and "sweet" nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,495 Posted December 28, 2007 Pirates of the Carribean: At worlds end......its actually a rather strange movie....almost as if they threw it together really quick in order to squeeze out every last drop of potential profit from the theme... To add, if you go to Disney they have updatored the Pirates ride their to now include a bunch of Jack Sparrow stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that it kinda rooned the ride, personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 365 Posted December 28, 2007 Not gifts, but I purchased.. The Simpsons Movie. Sucked a huge bag of d!cks. Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. Really don't know what to think of this movie. The script didn't make much sense. I'll have to watch it again. Lost: Season 3. I'll watch it at some point to see what details I missed on first viewing and to prepare for the upcoming season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewGirl 1,047 Posted December 28, 2007 better off dead is crassic. "somebody threw out a perfectly good whiteboy". "The Sure Thing" is another good 80's Cusack movie too. I can't remember if I have seen The Sure Thing, I will check it out. Some of the 80's movies I never really got into, like "Can't Buy Me Love." A friend in jr. HS thought that this was the best movie ever. I was more of a brat pack fan, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful (still one of my absolute favorites), St. Elmo's Fire, About Last Night, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snuff 10 Posted December 28, 2007 I got that last Pirates of the Caribbean (whatever the rest of the title is) movie too, I am assuming the same one that is already mentioned here. I didn't want it. For some reason the wife thinks I like these movies, as she has gotten me the "newest" one for the past 3 years. I even said after the second one that I didn't care for these movies anymore. Is this grounds for divorce? I am hoping so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The man is a legend. Yes, John Hughes is great. Of the ones you listed, Ferris, Weird Science and Breakfast Club (not listed but also JH, I believe) are good ones. I didn't care for Uncle Buck, and Trains/Planes was funny the first time, but not something I would watch over and over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really weren't crazy about Planes, Trains & Automobiles? Funny. It's one of those movies that I watch on cable and wind up watching the whole thing. I think it may be one of his best. Give it another shot. Not just for the comedy but for the tugging at the heart strings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeshushu 51 Posted December 28, 2007 I got the three stooges 75th anniversary set of 3 DVDs. Mom got bought me this. I do look a lot like Larry. I tried hanging her coat rack this morning and the shelf above the coat rack I was trying to assemble fell on my head as I tried pounding in the screws into the wall. I even made that OOOOh sound when it hit my head. It's really a case of bad genes. One thing one can't do is choose their parents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
