throwback movies

[davepreston]

was feeling a bit retro this morning so threw on what in my opinion is a modern classic movie
Hackers
now I know its nowhere near factual but as a youth I thought it was mint, jonny lee millar at his best and who can complain about a young miss jolie
may even do another oldie like pump up the volume when I get in later


so anyone else watched a cracker from there younger days recently

[tigersaw]

I watch Back to the Future at least once a year.
Top Gun gets an outing now and then due to the excellent sound track on the surround-o-sound.

[Spank86]

My 80's film collection is probably bigger than the rest of it combined.

I think the last one I watched was either D.A.R.Y.L. or flight of the navigator.

[carelesschucca]

Recently I've watched Breakfast Club

hmm Ally Sheedy (before she got her hair and makeup done)

and Blazing Saddles.

Candygram for Mongo!

[Spank86]

hmm Ally Sheedy (before she got her hair and makeup done)
Yeah, I always thought that.

"lets give you a makeover and make you look 100 times worse!"

You really want to be watching short circuit for her though.

[Biker Biggles]

Life of Brian
The Italian Job(original one )
Heat
Enemy of the State.
Battle of Britain

[ClunkintheUK]

I'm a big fan of the old dystopian future type films:
The Running Man
Rollerball (original)
Total Recall (original)

Actually a lot of Arnies old stuff. Does help that the leading ladies often wore jumpsuits.

I still need to watch Logan's run

[Wideboy]

or flight of the navigator.

Explains everything

Johnny 5 short circuit. Best film ever!

[Spank86]

I still need to watch Logan's run
good film.

very dated now but still good. incredibly odd in parts.

[Wideboy]

But then you like the odd uncomfortable moments

[socommk23]

Flight of the navigator recently. Aliens is my fave. Predator is still awesome.

There are few films I try to watch at least once every couple of years. Breakfast Club and St Elmo's Fire are favourites of that era, I try to watch one of the Alien films (RIP H.R. Geiger by the way) from time to time, Bladerunner, I must watch Four Weddings again soon, Smokey & The Bandit (1 or 2, never 3), Dune occasionally, Flash Gordon, just introduced the boys to The Princess Bride. I've got a bit of a soft spot for Beaty & The Beast too.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Breakfast Club
Life Of Brian
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Mona Lisa (Bob Hoskins was excellent)

Falling Down is a brilliant film.

[STRAMASHER]

Got Sam Peckinpahs' "Cross Of Iron" to watch. Seen it loads but not in awhile.

Recently got "24HR Party People" which is a gem.

[L3nny]

I love old 80's action movies, they were so much better back then, lot's of violence, swearing and nudity. Not like the watered down PG rated rubbish they make now. Yes the acting is awful and the special effects basic but they have a certain charm to them.

Robocop, Predator, Commando, Running man all brilliant films.

Wish they would make films like that now with modern special effects, the recent Rambo remake is a good exception.

[timwilky]

for me, there are two classic starring Malcolm McDowell

I guess If, half in black and white and half in colour appealed to me as a school kid, the idea of blowing away all the teachers etc. plus of course the nookie

and a clockwork orange. Had to wait decades to see it after having sneaked into the pictures as a 12 year old.

[dirtydog]

Not particularly old but both Leon and Ronin get watched regularly other than that it's
Alien
Star Wars,
Predator,
Platoon,
Rambo,
Rocky,
Terminator


Need to buy a copy of the original Robocop film as the new remake is a pile of carp

Leon and Ronin are indeed both fine films and the original Robocop is definitely worth a watch.

[Ravenhearts]

I have to say my fav movies have to be
Uncle Buck
Die hard movies
Underwolrd movies
Goonies
Star wars 4.5.6
Van helsing
Solomon Kane
The conan movies (even the new one)
Most of Steven Seagals 90s movies
