I have been in an 80's mood recently and thought I would check out some of my favourit movies from my childhood. So far I have watched (and enjoyed) the following:

Ferris Bueller's big day out
Sure Thing
Breakfast Club
Revenge of the nerds (dumb but entertaining)
The Goonies (maybe not a true comedy)

What else should should I check out? Feel free to recommend non-English language movies.

Caddyshack
National Lampoon's Vacation
Three Amigos
Dead men don't wear plaid
The Man with two Brains
Little Shop of Horrors
Roxanne
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Subway
La dernier Combat
Jean de Florette
Manon des Sources
Le Retour de Martin Guerre
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Matador

that should keep you going for a day or two
I'm afraid with the french and spanish films I just went for good 80's films

looks good :thumb:

Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources...just wrote coursework on them. Got an E. Bad memories...

I'd recommend National Lampoon. I'm watching ANimal House over and over again as preperation for uni. Got my toga all ready!

Does Happy Days count?

@Daie Animal House is actually 1977 :eek: And togas are good :thumb: :rolling:

The Young Ones is late eighties, right? Or was it early nineties?

"Winners and Sinners" is quite good. Its from the early 80's i reckon.

The Karate Kid, The Lost Boys, Real Genius, Buckaroo Bonzai, Ferris Beuller, Ice Pirates, The Goonies, all three Indiana Jones, Better Off Dead.

That ought to keep you busy the first night. :heh:

Sky is showing all the old 80s kids films atm.

Teen Wolf!

Red Dawn.


Its with Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen as teens during WWIII - when the soviets and cubans invade America. Great stuff.

Anything by John Hughes.

The Young Ones is late eighties, right? Or was it early nineties?Naaah, early eighties. :p And Bottom is great too. In fact, I love anything which has Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson in it. Or Dawn French.

Ah, didn't realize you wanted comedies. Red Dawn is not a comedy, although because it is older, it is kind of funny.

anything 80's is good.

Well thanks everyone. My ScreenSelect (British version of Netflix) list has grown since my request :D
