Comedy Tom Hanks 'Bachelor Party'. "Let's have a bachelor party with chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze!" Obscure Eddie Murphy 'The Golden Child'. "I want the knife. Please." Underrated Buddy Cops 'Running Scared'. "Deceleration trauma. Cement poisoning." Fall of the Iron Curtain foreshadowing 'White Nights' 'Blade Runner' wins.
80s movies... Teen Witch, Breakfast Club, 16 candles, Goonies, Weird Science, Ferris Buller's day off, Dirty Dancing, The never-ending story, Princess Bride, Twins. omg so many great movies.
My favorite movie of all time is The Outsiders! Then like Jayse my other picks would be Heathers, Some kind of Wonderful, Dream a little dream, Pretty in pink, but I also loved Cobra and Predator,Die Hard,The Burbs and The lost boys The 80’s were the best ever.
All of the Indiana Jones and anything by John Hughes! But also a super weird one, thought of this one after remembering Big Trouble in Little China…Howard the Duck 😂and also War Games!
OMG! Real Genius! Fantastic movie! Hmmm it sounds like you guys need to do a reaction channel where you watch all of these movies together for those of you who haven't seen some of the movies you mentioned. :)
Killer Klowns from Outer Space!!!!! Man it frightened me so much as a child. Need to have an entire episode dedicated to 80’s Horror! And not just the mainstream ones either but some of the niche ones like Killer Klowns.
Back to the Future, Footloose, Sixteen Candles, the Breakfast Club, Top Gun, Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, All the Right Moves, Howard the Duck, Stand By Me, Porky’s, Spaceballs, Real Genius, The Goonies, Trading Places, Batman, Better Off Dead, Say Anything, One Crazy Summer,
As a person born in 74, I kind of understand what Joe means. The first movie I definitely remember seeing in the theater was Return of the Jedi in 1983 when I was 8 years old.
I thoroughly empathize with Jayce, there is no way I would be able to narrow my list down to 3! The longer I think about it, the more movies get added on!
I'm with Jayse on this. Name my #1 singular top of the pile favorite 80s movie? Don't make me choose. Between Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Space Balls, Stand By Me, Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, Labyrinth, Lost Boys, Willow, Highlander, Neverending Story, The Last Unicorn, Footloose, The Karate Kid, Trains, Plains, and Automobiles, They Live, Police Academy....
Eddie and the Cruisers!! The Land Before Time! Weekend At Bernie’s! Willow! Short Circuit! The Shining! The Brave Little Toaster! So many great movies!
Ok Jayce makes so much sense to me now. That’s my dude. But everyone’s stock has gone way up. Beetlejuice is one of my all time favs, mannequin is peak 80’s, The Last Dragon?! Let’s Go!!
This was a fun episode Beba was SAVAGE in this one Sabrina was gorgeous and extra points for liking Horror Extra extra points for Beetlejuice Jayse and Joe were always cool Thanks for the laughs
I posted something a week or so ago about the range of reactors you have at the moment and this is a prime example of my meaning. In a podcast about 80's movies you don't have a single GenX reactor, who actually llived through it at an age to really experience these movies. So my question is, what gives? I know we're sometimes refered to as the Forgotten Generation but you used to have quite a few older reactors. Either way, I really enjoyed the discussion and would like to recommend some films that weren't mentioned... Stripes, Ladyhawke, Blade Runner, Amadeus, Full Metal Jacket, The Blues Brothers, The Elephant Man, Repo Man, Brazil and Police Academy.
a 1980's movie that everyone forgets about and is on my top list is "The Man With the One Red Shoe" Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Jim Belushi, Lori Singer to name just a few of the actors in this great comedy movie...and if that catches your attention you can then go to "Bachelor Party"...again with Tom Hanks in the lead
Strange Brew, Airplane!, Blues Brothers, Weird Science, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Glory, Lean on Me, Clue, Witness and Commando were not mentioned in this video
The Princess Bride is just not the greatest movie of the 80's but it's the greatest movie of all time. I quote that movie way too much and yet, I don't have enough prompts in the day to quote it more.
The guys nailed it on the first movies. Both are great choices. Ladies, I'm questioning your involvement in an 80s movie podcast not knowing those two. Especially not knowing Val Kilmer. 7:50
I am so unimpressed with all these. No body's mention some of the greatest and deep cuts. Some of these are just good. No one mentioned Roger Moores 007 movies, or Highlander.
My Favs are Robocop Legend ( Tom Cruise ) The Thing Big Trouble in Little China The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Time Bandits Transformers The Movie The Last Starfighter Batman Better Off Dead Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure This is just a small list that sticks out to me.
Buckaroo Banzai Rocky Risky Business Cocktail Footloose. Any film with a Tangerine Dream soundtrack, GTA and Stranger Things bringing back the 80s icons.
This may my favorite of their podcast thus far, and I liked pretty much all of them. But this one was right up my alley, and I'm much older than all of them, so I was always in the movie theaters and drive-ins in the 80's. I absolutely loved the 80's...movies, music, vibe, fashion. I loved the last dragon as well, saw it in theaters. I knew all the lines in that movie!! I also loved almost all of Molly Ringwald's movies, like: The breakfast club, 16 candles, Pretty in pink, and more! Also, The Lost boys, Weird Science, ET, Ghostbusters franchise, Beverly Hills cop franchise, St. Elmore's fire, About last night, movies were just better then.
Real Genius is a hilarious and funny movie. Tom Hanks was in his early 30’s in Big. Some of my favorite 80’s movies are Platoon, born on the 4th of July, the Outsiders, Solar Babies, Dead Poets Society, the lost boys, the goonies, weird science, ghostbusters, stand by me, and bill and Ted’s excellent adventure, Young Guns.
I’m surprised no one brought up Hellraiser, Critters, Ghoulies, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Revenge of the Nerds, and real niche Porky’s and Meatballs.
Joe and Jayce love you guys. You mention movies that were some of my favorites as I was growing up like Last Dragon and Val Kilmer in Real Genius. I have been taking care of kids for 29 years and every time I mention movies I love they look at me like I'm the weirdest person in the room. So thank you because many times I watch your videos and you mention certain movies and other stuff and the other members have no clue what you talking about I get it everytime
What i learned from this video? Sabrina is a huge horror fan. Also - she may knows a lot about 80's music, but very little about 80's movies. Though we should consider the fact she was born in the late 90's.
Real Genius is literally the first movie I purchased on Prime. "if I wear it anywhere else, I'd chafe" lol Totally classic 80s sound tract! Last Dragon..Mr. Nuff; BIG, yes! Beatle juice, beetle juice beetle juice...Day oh...daylight come and we want go home... yes! My dad took me to see the exorcist when I was 12. I'm probably have nightmares tonight! lol Breakfast Club sound tract. A princess, a nerd, a jock, a weido and a criminal!!! Any John Houston movie! Yes Ghostbusters..."he slimed me" Ferris Buller's Day off!
Flight of the Dragans, The Empire Strikes back, Aliens, Predator, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, The Golden Child, The Breakfast Club, Killer Clowns from Outerspace, Innerspace,Twins, and Do The Right Thing !
One of my first movie purchases was White Nights. A great dance movie with Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Joe, you were cheated as a child I was a teen and in my early twenties when I was under 10 I got to see the great disaster movies of the 70’s such as Earthquake, Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure along with Airport 1,2 and 3 and A Bridge Too Far. You missed out on a lot of good movies. When I was a teen and babysitting I would take the kid to the movies and we saw A View to a KIill, Goonies, Gremlins and many other movies. Joe, I saw the original version of The Thing.
Ghostbusters trivia: the camp that Dan Ackroyd mentioned in Ghostbusters regarding the staypuft marshmallow man actually exists, it is a girls camp outside of Kingston Ontario near where Dan lives. Dan is from Kingston Ontario. I only learned this bit of trivia when I went to a training camp at Camp Oconto. When I was at Queens University Dan used to hang around at a bar popular with students called the Trash.
