80s movies that are so bad they are great.
Or just general 80s movies, show me the best you got.
Also
What about this angle?
No love for 80s movies?
roadhouse
>>72059433
the 80s were the best time for huge, family oriented blockbusters and campy action movies that didn't take themselves too seriously, and weren't filled with grim-dark themes and forced social justice narratives.
>>72060449
Totally agree, not taking themselves so serious is what makes them really enjoyable for me, it's like people were just having fun while doing those movies, and that infused them with such energy
>>72060544
yep.

No era will ever surpass the fun of the 80's
>>72062673
Here here
Please help, there is an 80s movie that I just don't know the name. I saw it many years ago (I was a kid) so I don-t even know what it is about. But I remember some things: it was obviously from the 80s, it had to do with girls, highheels, spaceships or people from other planets wearing costums and being broadcast on tv. It was not even a good movie, it was so ridiculous it was good. Sorry for my free association cues.
>>72062747

i've never seen any of those, but they're really well known. welp, time to watch some new (to me) movies.
You literally could not make Zapped! today
>>72063109
Jim Carey. Jeff Goldblum and so on. Pretty big cast. Never seen it. Worth watching?
>>72063109
Thanks a lot... I was checking a big list of 80s movies already, looking only at the titles, I was in the year 1982 and this movie is from 1988. You have just saved me a lot of time.
>>72063190

As Mike Nelson said, "What? How is that an insult? I don't understand what your prison sex life has to do with this. Do you still keep in touch with them? Did you hang around and talk afterwards or was it purely sexual?"

Do it. I cannot stress how much this film will enhance your life
going on the so bad it's good theme...
crimewave is pretty damn funny. it was directed by sam raimi and written by sam raimi and joel coen (of the coen bros). bruce campbell and frances mcdormand are in it. my brother and i have quoted many of the lines to each other, since we were young uns.

This movie is nonstop hilarity.
>>72061692
It's the perfect chick flick.
I mean that in the best possible way. Guys like it, and their girlfriends like it too. Every single time I've watched this movie with a woman, I've gotten laid.
Imagine a romantic comedy, except instead of lame comedy you have F-14s.

OP here, I feel bad I haven't seen any of those movies in your list except Friday 13th
>>72063759
Kickboxer is the first JCVD movie where he showed actual charisma. Cheeky but fun. Cyborg had potential but they killed a real likeable character in it for no real good reason. Bummer.

>Every damn NIGHT!?
>>72069157
I don't like that thing.
How is this? Is it everything you'd expect from a zombie movie from the 80s? I've been interested in this for a while but I haven't ordered it.
No Back to the Future?
I guess it's so obvious everyone just ignored it
>>72070142

>>72059433
in what way is They Live bad at all. it does exactly what it sets out to
If there's one word to describe Pet Sematary it's "wicked."
>>72070235
I loved Evil Dead. I need to get the sequel, but I only found Army of Darkness when I was digging through the bargain bin. I don't know what it is about 80s films but they have a certain charm to them that other films don't.
>>72070142
10/10, must watch, legendary picture.
I also recommend Texas Chainsaw massacre 2, reanimator and from beyond.
>>72070290
Not intentionally bad of course, but it is a little bit corny sometimes. Don't take me wrong, I love that movie, just watches again today before starting the thread. It is bad technically speaking, acting is not that good either, there is a lack of character development, etc. But at the end of the day what makes this mivie bad makes it great, I guess the scene of the fight is the best example, it's just ober the top but still you can't stop enjoying it.
>>72070359
great star trek movie. this and the one with whales are my favorites.
the voyage home had a perfect balance of sci-fi action and humor.
does total recall count even though its 1990, its late 80's as fuck
im so guted that films didnt continue to be like that. and that the future was nothing like those sorts of films
>>72070305
Love this movie, even though when watching it as a kid meant not sleeping that night
>>72070432
I've seen (or saw) re- animator on netflix, isn't that some lovecraft story? I'd like to build a collection of horror films from that era too and Godzilla stuff.
>>72070491
their all great christopher plummer is just the right kinda retarded in 3, five has the most quotable awful shit ever, every one of them is great
>>72070516
i think you can lump it in with 80s movies. like you said, it has that same look and feel. movies didn't really change until linklater and tarantino films hit the scene.
>Ctrl-F Re-animator, Videodrome, Fly, From Beyond, Prince of Darkness, Repo Man, Altered States, The Blob
No Results.

These apply for the normie list too fag. Not saying they are bad though
>>72070359
>>72070491
>>72070579
Yeah. Even though the odd numbered Trek movies get a bad rep, the original 6 are pretty great. Even the motion picture is at least the closest to an episode of the show and final frontier has it's hilariously bad moments.

my dad stole every copy of that from the video store.
that and commando.
>>72071030
why?
>>72071030
your dad sounds like an asshole
>>72071098
>>72071095
the video store was a bunch of fucking dicks that had this faggot working there that would let his friends rent shit for free, and then when his bossses wanted to know where the movies were when they got lost he would randomly pik people to put the charge to, or when he wanted to make a few extra bucks scamming people.
so my dad was like fuck this place. and him and my uncle robbed it one night. they actually stole everything. including the electric meter. i went to the place my dad had as a "legitimate place of business" the next day and noticed it was packed full of movies, TV's, VCR's, laserdiscs, Vidya, and various things from the video store.
they didnt leave the safe there though, or else he would have taken that too. they really pissed him off. nothing pissed him off more than blaming him for shit he didnt do.
>>72071030

Wow, your fathers both an idiot and an asshole. Nice combo. I see why he turned to stealing.
>>72071482
Your dad sounds like a cool guy
>>72071693

You need to watch it twice and it's pretentious as fuck, but we'll worth it. You'll have no idea what's happening the first time you watch it, be warned.
>>72071694
maybe next time the store owner will fire shitty employees.
>>72060329
I legitimately love Roadhouse.
>>72071694
Shame ln the owner for hiring jerks. Now kys, please
>>72071694
the owners would do the same thing. they would send out tapes that were blank or broken on purpose to make a buck. they were fucking assholes. they sold spoiled snacks, and broken shit.
>>72060279
pure shit
obviously the only movie from the 80s worth watching you filthy casuals
>>72071030
>>72071482
Your dad is a real hero anon. He stands up for what's right, even if he looks wrong doing it.
>>72071482
that's cool, anon. hollywood video did the same thing to me...the cunts working there took the videos people returned for themselves. i ended up in collections over it. they fucked up my credit. i was happy when they went out of business.
>>72071827
Alright, fair enough.
>>72071826
>>72071777
And if he lies through his teeth and they don't know? I've been a manager and sometimes employees can be great whenever you're around and absolute assholes behind your back. I just think that revenge should be visited on those who deserve it and not cause problems for people only kind of involved. If your kid slashes my tires I don't break your windshield.
>>72071805
you should. anyone who doesn't was probably fucked in prison.
>>72071872
he might be a crook, and a douchebag, but by god he does have a weird, and fucked up sense of morality that he holds fast to.
like when he taught me to get swole, and how to fight, so i coud be smart, and rob the bullies, and give the weaklings back thier shit for a cut of it. and to wait till the last day of school once i got my report card to beat the fuck out of someone in front of the school.
he was if ferris buller and paulie gaultieri were spliced together.

>>72073311
Plot?
I loved this movie.
>>72072938
not the same poster. things go in cycles, sure. the newer strains of sjw are something worse. it's worse, because colleges and the media have become infected with their ideologies. there is an entire generation or two, that now hold on to these ideologies religiously. that's different than the people in the 60s and 70s, who were just into being "free". to many back then, it was the "cool' thing to do. now, it's a firmly rooted, religious experience, to the the point where these sjws promote the shutting down of alternate viewpoints. not listening to others' viewpoints is completely contrary to what the people were trying to fight for in the 60s and 70s.

I don't think They Live is a bad movie. It's about a guy looking for work, and the world is becoming increasingly dystopian. However, I do have a problem with the fact that the satellite dish is the thing they had to destroy. They should've just had one for each town.
