That Tron does look good. I never seen the original, The sequal is something I would like to watch.

You guys mentioned some good ones here. Some I totally forgot about.

OK, technically released in '91, but soundtrack is full of some great 80s bands, and the movie just freaking rules.... Point Break.

And how the hell have we not mentioned Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

Party on, dudes!

Ya know, Bill and Ted is one that should have been mentioned first. I loved that movie.

The Keep made in 1983. Took place in Romania. Typical good vs evil.

Pretty In Pink was on VH1 Classic tonight ...

I saw Scarface listed. Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors, ever !

Teen Wolf was awesome, lol. I liked the Back to the Future movies, too. I know some people will want to hang me for this, but I hated Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I also thought Bill and Ted movies were stupid. I cant believe that no said THE WALL

Flaw · Post by **Flaw** » Monday May 03, 2010

heavy metal, ghostbusters, a few others i can't believe were missed.

f.sciarrillo · Post by **f.sciarrillo** » Monday May 03, 2010

Some more good choices. I didn't put The Wall because for some reason I was thinking it was the late 70's. lol ..

Back to the future is a great movie. I can watch that over and over again, and never get sick of it ..

I did list The Wall a couple posts ago. I saw that in the theater when it came out and thought what a very crazy movie.

The original version of The Hitcher from 1986 starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh is on the Syfy Channel Thursday, May 6th at 9:00 p.m. That is an intense thriller and scary without the gore of most horror movies. Rutger Hauer plays a very evil bad guy.

Speakiing of Hauer, he and Gene Simmons did a movie together in one of Gene's first movie roles. Gene also played Luther with Tom Selleck in Runaway.

Gene portrayed a DJ in Trick or Treat. Ozzy played a cameo role in this movie as a televangelist.

HP Lovecraft's B-stuff--almost worthy of silicon:

From Beyond
Re-Animator -- watch for recent, probably really bad sequels

also

Highlander
Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi
Star Trek IV: The Journey Home (we have got to save those whales)
Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams
(with yet more whale saving):
