Top 100 80's Films...

[Smudge]

Bill & Ted is one of those films that only those of a particular generation 'gets.' Anyone 10 years older or younger than me probably thinks its a load of shit. Its ridiculously silly, the main characters are boneheads...but then again, its got George Carlin, and a boss soundtrack and just somehow it works.

"Put them in the iron maiden..."
"Iron Maiden? Excellent!"
"Execute them!"
"Bogus..."

I know its 90s, but I always quite liked the sequel too, though not as good or loveable as the first. Some quality scenes, I always love the part where they have to beat Death to escape Hell, and when they keep beating him, he just keeps insisting on another game!

[BigDaveCUFC]

no no no Temple of Doom ONLY 28th!!!

what is gan wrong.

 

[Spirederman]

Raging Bull 26th?? That was in my top 3.

An utter disgrace.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Temple of Doom and WarGames both made my list. ToD is my favourite Indiana Jones film, thought it would be in and around the top 10 to be honest.

 

[Gladders]

Wargames was on mine, excellent film

The Shining (1980) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

ah blast.

Planes, Trains was my no.1 pick.......i just find that the film from this era i could watch once a week, every week of the year and still not be bored watching it.

expected it would not be up top, but hoped for higher, ah well.

 

[Cardsfan]

The other 3 who voted for Naked Gun? Hilarious film, 2nd on my list.

 

[Cas]

The Shining is one of the most overrated horror films.

 

[Ginola14]

The Shining is one of the most overrated horror films.

Along with which other horrors?

Also....will we be holding a "Top 100 90's films" countdown?

 

[Craig]

I was pleasantly surprised with the interest in this one, so would definitely consider running a 90's one once the football season has finished.

Re-cap of the films down to 21 coming up shortly, as I said before the countdown I lost a film while compiling the list so if you notice one of your missing then give us a shout and I'll rectify it.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I voted Naked Gun cardsfan.

 

[SALTIRE]

Some great films in there, all worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen them.

 

[Cardsfan]

I voted Naked Gun cardsfan.

Good man

 

[Spirederman]

Well fuck you all, apart from the other 2 who had Stand By Me on their lists.

That was my Greatest Film Of The 80's, my number 1.

Can't believe that it's fallen short of the Top 20. Still it seems as though the other 2 posters who included it (Reveal Yourselves To Me) also rated it rather highly with the 20 off from my vote, it left 29 points so an average of 14.5 scored from the other 2 voters. I wanna know who you are. Did another one of you have it at No1 and one at No11??

I want details!!

 

[Spirederman]

ah blast.

Planes, Trains was my no.1 pick.......i just find that the film from this era i could watch once a week, every week of the year and still not be bored watching it.

expected it would not be up top, but hoped for higher, ah well.

An average of 12 points a piece off of the 3 other voters Dave.

 

[Ginola14]

Die Hard must win this.

 

[Spirederman]

I will Cry Hard if it does.

 

[Ginola14]

GTFO! It's a great film!!
