80's movie that most resonates with you

[TB4000]

Nothing but Revenge of the Nerds. That was basically my entire early high school career until junior year when I finally started having a semi-reputation. Every single one of those dudes I shared a trait with(except I wasn't as flamboyant as Lamar Latrell) and still do to this day. Lambda Lambda Lambda for life, baby.

Ferris Beulher's Day Off

ive seen plenty of 80's movies but im gonna need to see a list to be able to say which one was best.

probly the nerds movies yeah but when i think 80s movies all that comes to mind is:

head nerd: "we need to show those jocks who's dumb!"
asian geek: "yes leader-san, we must and then we go raid panty!"
head nerd: "dude wazakasi that'll come in due time"

[rice cracker]

The Little Mermaid.

MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS

Directed by Paul Schrader (USA/Japan, 1985)

Inspired by the life and spectacular death of Japan's most famous 20th-century writer, Schrader's film cuts back and forth between Yukio Mishima's past, the day of his suicide, and excerpts from his fiction — employing vastly different visual strategies. Not so much a biography as a meditation on the impossibility of biography.

Another '80s movie that I like a lot is Derek Jarman's Caravaggio, a fictionalized account of the 17th-century Italian painter's life done completely in a studio and in modern dress.

Wow, that brought me back to 1991 when my brother and sister watched nothing but the Care Bears version of Alice and Wonderland. That, and The Brave Little Toaster. God, I knew those movies by heart. Torture.

Another much loved movie from my youth was Big Trouble in Little China.

[Fireblade]

The Never Ending Story. Only cuz I wanted a friend like Falcor.

[nonamerasian]

I was truly obsessed with that movie.

[TB4000]

Oh yeah...Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Still a classic. How they managed to pull that off without the use of computer technology back then is amazing. :eek:

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Ernest Goes To Camp

[MangoPickerKen]

i dunno, he says it so stone-faced and monotone. plus you can bring it up randomly and be non sequitur.

[Martino]

Tom Cruise was so cute in that. Loveley legs.

I guess my posts have gone against the spirit of this thread. Back in the '80s, most of you were kids, and this thread is to reminisce about your favorite childhood movies. In the '80s, I was already an adult and into art films. So, the decade means something different to me...

[tommyhtown]

Top Gun, Princess Bride, and John Hughes' teen movies like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, and Ferris Bueller's ....

[Faithless]

The Abyss.

the never ending story I was the best, then it went down the drain with parts II and III.

[Fireblade]

Big. Cuz Tom Hanks was a kid who turned into an adult. And I also went "Wow! A Hundred Dollars! He's RICH!"

[SunWuKong]

i don't know if they "resonate" with me, but i and people around my age grew up watching Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. they were the shit.
