Your thumbnail contains two of mu favorite underrated films. Remo Williams and Maximum Overdrive. So no matter what others are in the video big thumbs up brother!!!! Love them both so much.
Watching these videos just makes me think of what a great decade the 80s were for movie making. Even the subpar films were so much more interesting than what we have today. Full of interesting stories and imagination.
Creativity was definitely peaking in the 80s from music, to TV, to movies. Now it definitely feels more like a business with creativity being generated on an assembly line. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻
I like your videos i have seen so many of these films but they all bring joy to me. I love films like Repo Man. Its a shame Remo Williams didn't get a sequel. The studios would always go with what trend was hot at the moment. Scary to think with AI the Terminator and War Games senario couls happen @MoviesNeverSayDie
Serpent and the rainbow is my favorite Wes Craven movie and zakes mokae is such an excellent villain in this movie and vibes is a fun comedy and it's also in the trend of the 80s with rock stars trying to be movie stars
When you brought up "Vibes" it jogged a memory of another psychic comedy from 1989 "Second Sight" Starring John Larroquette and Bronson Pinchot. definitely needs to be added to your next video.
Love Remo Williams, wish it was a hit because it would of been a franchise...Gonna check out The Rescue, never heard of that, love those kinds of movies, Toy Soldiers(1991) was another favorite of mine....Have you seen The Dirt Bike Kid(1986) with Peter Billingsley?
lol, forgot about Rescue! I was in Korea in my 2nd year of my 2nd tour when released!!!! Also the year of the Seoul Olympics!!!!! Spent a lot of time on the DMZ that year! 😜
I really liked Breakin’ 2: Electric Bugaloo. The Hospital scene was hysterical. Also Lucinda Dickey was the possessed Ninja in Ninja 3: The Domination.
Yeah I enjoyed her in Clean and Sober and that movie she did with Danson/Lemmon/Hawke that I'm forgetting the name of atm. But she did have a long and steady TV career so good for her.
I'd nominate Amazing Grace & Chuck and Fast Food for your upcoming volumes. As a kid in the 80s with HBO, I saw so many random movies that have been forgotten. I'm pretty sure that even as a child, I thought Fast Food was a bad movie but for some reason, Jim Varney at the height of his Earnest fame, shows up in it. Also his Slinky Dog replacement Blake Clark appears in it, which is sort of randomly coincidental. Also, for a horror submission, The Funhouse is something I only came across in recent years.
Wow 2 blast from the past mentions, I remember seeing Amazing Grace and Chuck in school. And I haven't seen Fast Food since the dozen times I watched it on HBO when it was released! I remember Traci Lords being in that one as well!
The fact that there's still tons that you could mention just goes to show how spoilt for choice we were in the 80's and how much video stores are missed amongst those of us that remember them or used to work in them. Not you Blockbuster Video !!! I'm talking about TRUE video stores where they'd let you take the posters home when they were done with them. Anyhoo, there's still time for you to mention... Gotcha! Iron Eagle K-9 Running Scared Just One Of The Guys Summer School Critters/Critters 2 Deadly Friend Red Heat WarGames Burglar Jumping Jack Flash Fatal Beauty Wisdom ✓ Funny Farm Let It Ride ✓ The Principal Dark Night Of The Scarecrow Wildcats Alien Nation Enemy Territory See No Evil, Hear No Evil Always
Love these picks! I agree about the old video store days. I grew up in rural WA and we had a little store Mountain View Video and the couple who owned it were awesome. The lady was the one who told me about Thrashin' she saw me rent Goonies over and over and one day she said, "You Know Brand made a skateboard movie?" She walked me over and i rented it for the first of what would be countless times!
Remo was great, even having Capt Janeway in it. Clean and Sober was powerful, especially for those in the field. Sandra Bullock later did the same with 28 Days.
not to bothered about most of these but Maximum Overdrive has a place in my collection, the Vestron video bluray has amazing picture and 5.1 audio plus tons of behind the scenes footage, the soundtrack rocks too as it was done by AC/DC. 🤔🤔
Great series. But Never ending Story is miles away from forgotten. It's referenced very often, it's the subject of many memes. And in the UK. Shown on tv regularly
Remo Williams, Maximum Overdrive, Vibes, Leviathan and The Serpant And The Rainbow are going on my to-watch list.iathan It'll be interesting to see Lisa Eilbacher in Leviathan when i get to it. I only know her from Beverly Hills Cop, and 10 To Midnight, but they are my favourite films of 84 and 83. I've seen Back To School i thought it was okay, my main reason for watching it was that it featured Terry Farrell, who i love in DS9, and have met at Star Trek conventions (yeah i'm one of those geeks lol). The only other thing i've seen her in is as the star of Hellraiser 3. I can't give an unbiased opinion for The Never Ending Story. On the day i finished my Junior school in England (July 1991) i volunteered to help teacher's take down decorations than watch this. I went in mid-way through the film, so i had no idea what it was about, for that reason i can't give it a fair judgement, but it's a film i won't choose to watch again lol.
Don't know if Never Ending Story got a burst by the Netflix show Stranger Things. They made a reference to the theme song and or Movie in the last season. I do not think it is forgotten but maybe it is harder to find on streaming. Love the other movies on the list. They are definitely going to be harder to find.
The Christopher McDonald Midnight Run movies were apart of the 1990s Universal Action Pack series of films that played as pilots for potential on-going series.

@@MoviesNeverSayDie At the time Bill Murray had only agreed to due Ghostbusters if Sony aka Columbia Pictures would fund his other movie project The Razors Edge which they agreed to do which turned out to be a failure at the box office. Yes Murray wasn't too excited about Ghostbusters1984 until the middle of production were he started to have a good time. He didn't want to do the sequel however and a 1987 Saturday Night Live sketch foreshadows this LOL! Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis felt the original was a stand alone film as well and didn't want to do a sequel. Until Columbia Pictures pressured them and with the success of the Real Ghostbusters they changed there minds and did the sequel. Slimer had more screen time but it was cut due to test audiences saying he was too invasive. Harold Ramis actually didn't want Slimer back at all. So the Slimer, Louis and Janine subplot was cut from the sequel. They also changed Janine from crushing on Egon to Louis. The movie was supposed to end with Slimer flying across the NewYork city skyline and Lady Liberty but it was never filmed only a draft and a sketch from the production from 1988 confirms this. 👻🚫🎥🗽
Incredible insight you know some of these differences in the sequel plot sound familiar. I remember reading the novelization of GB2. Its a fine sequel but a standalone film makes sense. I love Murray but he was definitely a diva in his prime! Looking forward to checking our Razor's Edge. I like Theresa Russell and Catherine Hicks so the cast looks solid.
I first seen maximum overdrive at the drive in, . When it was released. . On a double feature with Nightbreed if i remember correctly. . My parents would take us to the drive in every weekend when we were kids
What about First Power? Have you done a review on that yet with Lou Diamond Phillips. That’s one of those good but not thought about movies. Pink Cadillac was another
I started questioning if The First Power was from the late 80s so I googled and it’s 1990 so maybe a 90s forgotten about list lol brother you really gave me hooked on your channel I love it. Really brings me back to when I was a kid. Ok last one cuz you’re the professional but House was another one I loved as a kid, then there was several sequels but another great flick
Definitely putting First Power in my 90s series and I'm stoked you dig the channel! I love making this content and knowing people enjoy it makes it all worth it.
@@MoviesNeverSayDie oh man I’m tellin ya I’m 43 and all those action hero’s, Arnold, Stallone, VanDamme and first was probably Bruce Lee when I was real young is what got me into bodybuilding and martial arts. As kids we wanted to be those guys! Pffft if I’m being honest I still do lol 😆 but like I said before movies and music was all I had as a kid, kind of like last action hero I guess
That music between clips is so aggravating. Sorry, and I know others who use it so it’s overplayed. Decent content but different subtle music would be so much more enjoyable.
