Battle of the 80s movie

[Napster]

I trust that this works Naps?

Tricky. It's clearly got an 80s feel. But as it's set just after Vietnam, I can't allow it while not allowing others above.

I'll add Weird Science.

Fair enough bro. How about Die Hard?

What I mean is, it couldn't be filmed at any other time. Put it this way, Terminator is an 80s film - the effects, the style, the script. Predator isn't - it's a more serious sci-fi. Back to the future again, has an 80s feel to it, as do all the films so far nominated. COTT I did ask for an argument, and I think cheese has a lot to do with it - cheese being an integral part of 80s movies. Raiders wasn't cheesy, nor was it cool, nor was it a typical 80s film. BHC is definitely cool, great cars, great script, and could not have been filmed in the 70s, nor the 90s, when things got a bit serious.

Does that explain it? I know what I mean.

I think so, although it's rather abstract!

Using your definition I'd agree that Raiders wouldn't qualify, but I'd suggest that both Temple of Doom and, especially, Last Crusade would.

You know it. As soon as I picked it I had to put the soundtrack on my iPod.

Hearts on fiiiiiiiiiiiiire, strong deeeeeeeesssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire!

 

[Napster]

three to go

its on the i-pod (unlike Jack I cant afford an Iphone!). No pain! It just amazes me that you get drawn into watching someone who really isnt actually any good but always comes out on top. Inspiring none the less and the best of all of them (though rocky II is also the nuts). Lets hope lethal weapon and rocky iv dont get drawn against each other!

 

[Napster]

If I don't get 3 by half 4, there will be 3 byes. Last chance. Come on smiffy...
