I love that youre doing these lists! Ive only seen a handful from '85, but my top 3 are Day of the Dead, Reanimator, and Fright Night. Demons, Elm Street 2 and Nail Gun Massacre are runner ups
Saw "Psycho II" in the theater on opening night. The audience seemed to really enjoy it--and the movie hasn't been that good since. There's something to say about seeing a film with an enthusiastic audience.
Thanks for the rundown 🙏 I wrote down a number of them that I need to check out especially for this upcoming month. Something so comforting about 80’s horror movies.
These were the ones that scared me as a kid in the 80's: Carpenter's The Thing, Critters 1 & 2, nightmare on elm street 1 & 3, Halloween 1 & 2, Poltergeist 1 & 2, Aliens, American Werewolf in London, Evil Dead 1 & 2, Day of the Dead, Fright Night, Company of Wolves, The Howling, Hellraiser 1 & 2, Scanners, Pumpkinhead, the blob, the church, the hitcher, Friday the 13th, the gate.
I don't know what your frogs came out but that is one of my all-time favorite it's a bee movie I know but Sam Elliott is in it and that makes it totally worth it
@@yesteryearland I love when people are interested in stuff like this because there's so many things I forget about from being a kid and seeing it and you remind me about those things and it's just fantastic so I think you again
@@jons.105 well I tend to believe Adrienne Barbeau what's considered the highlight I'm gay yet rightly so she was considered the Highlight that woman is still fantastic
"Susan Slade" is one of my favorites! Connie Stevens as an unwed pregnant teen whose mother passes as the baby's mother. Does anyone else remember what happened to the baby?? It's kind of campy, yes, but it brings to the movie to an emotional conclusion.
A great year for Miss Linda Blair. Missing in Action: Ken Russell's film of The Who's rock opera "Tommy", which gave us Roger Daltrey and Tina Turner opposite Ann-Margret and Oliver Reed. Lots of fun!
Saw "The Sound of Music" in the theater on a 1970 re-release. Also saw "That Darn Cat" on a 1972 re-release. They used to do that back then, before HBO.
Lots of great movies for the year 1961! My favorites: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Susan Slade, The Parent Trap, A Raisin in the Sun (great poster), The Misfits, The Innocents (scary!), Lover Come Back. The Naked Edge has a suspenseful finale that may have been copied years later for Fatal Attraction. Missing in Action: Hayley Mills & Alan Bates in Whistle Down the Wind.
Lots of great titles this year! Bullitt, Head, Speedway, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Funny Girl, The Impossible Years, The Legend of Lylah Clare. I saw them all! LOL. Missing in Action: Peter Sellers and Claudine Longet in the slapstick comedy The Party.
A good year for Doris Day with back-to-back hits "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "Midnight Lace". "Purple Noon" was remade years later as "The Talented Mr. Ripley". I saw them all! LOL. Missing in Action: Walt Disney's "Pollyanna" starring newcomer Hayley Mills (a special Oscar winner).
Lots of great ones this year! The Moon-Spinners, Get Yourself a College Girl, Pajama Party all wonderful. A good year for Annette Funicello. Missing in Action: Hayley Mills and Deborah Kerr match wits in The Chalk Garden.
All That Jazz, Kramer vs. Kramer, Meatballs, Roller Boogie, The Main Event. Did you remember Prophecy with Talia Shire? Also Just You & Me Kid w/George Burns and Brooke Shields.
@@yesteryearland I saw Just You & Me Kid on a double-bill with the animated Watership Down, a leftover from 1978 (about rabbits). Saw Going in Style with The Main Event at the drive-in, and Kramer vs. Kramer on a double feature with The Brood.
Awesome! The manitou scared me! Yet I had fun at school we would put a piece of deli meat on our back shoulder then say, “look! The manitou!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍿🍿🍿🍿
Very Good Job! I loved "The Sentinel" which filmed in NYC right down the street from "The Goodbye Girl" (Richard Dreyfuss walked over on his lunch and made a cameo). Missing in Action: "Exorcist II: The Heretic" with Linda Blair and Richard Burton. OK, it wasn't great, but it did make its money back, no easy feat since it opened the same weekend as "Star Wars".
My favorite from 1977 is "Star Wars." That was truly an epic movie. It took sci-fi to another level. The first scene was the ship coming from the top of the screen.
Lots of great movies! Where in the world did you find "Hex"!! I thought I was the only one... LOL. One missed movie: "Slither", a comedy with James Caan, Peter Boyle and Sally Kellerman.
Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn's movie "$" is actually called "Dollars" but in your defense nobody at the time knew exactly what to call it. Overseas it was called "The Heist". Still one of my favorite movies ever.
