@@indrajeetpatel5058 I read the book, it was much better. 🧐 Seriously though, I used to revere that nihilism until I realized it was a technique of spiritual warfare being used against me.
Demons are the aliens ! Nazi scientists working on private islands cloned humans in the 50's & they also cloned Nephilim Giants then cross hybridized them with animals to create Beastly hybrids to stage a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion. Demon possessed human clones have been walking among us for decades. My friend knows a scientist who saw the hybrids at a US air force base hangar late one night when he had to drop off papers & couldn't reach his supervisor by phone so he walked in on a meeting. He calmly put the papers on the desk & walked away never to return. As I'm sure you know all weather worldwide is engineered & so are geo disasters. They are going to purposely destroy crops & homes with wildfires, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions & earthquakes. The wildfires have already begun. Directed Energy Weapon Systems are the most powerful weapons on earth. Nuclear weapons do not exist. Uranium & Plutonium are not toxic elements. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl & Fukushima are all elaborate hoaxes. The ruling oligarchy families control all governments, militaries , local law enforcement, educational institutions, Hollywood & of course the worldwide propaganda news machine. They also control the Healthkill system. Vaccines & pharmaceuticals are designed as a slow kill. Vaccines & pharmaceuticals contain aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde & hormone disruptors. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Autism, brain Cancer, Epilepsy & SIDS are all caused by vaccine heavy metals that migrate to the brain. The US governments vaccine injury / death compensation program has paid out over 3.5 billion in compensation. Many commercial products contain toxic chemicals including perfumes, antiperspirants (which cause breast cancer), scented soaps & detergents, lotions & bug repellants (if you put Deet on your headlights it will eat thru the plastic !) Vladimir Lenin said "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves" so Alex Jones, David Icke, Dane Wigington, VAXXED & numerous others are controlled opposition including all politicians ! There is one controlled political party masquerading as two. It's obvious the recent mass shootings are staged with crisis actors who can't cry on cue....GUN CONTROL ! They are going to repeal the 2nd Amendment ! They might even stage a fake assassination of Trump-et or a Sports idol live on national TV. Who are the biggest sports idols ? Tiger Woods & Tom Brady come to mind first. First Woods will win 3 more Majors to come within one of Jack Nick's record of 18 Majors. Most people are too self absorbed to see the Book of Revelation is happening right now ! We are in End Times & the 4 Horsemen are about to ride....Famine, Disease, WW3 & FEMA Death camps !!! Don't eat the mystery meat at Camp FEMA, it's Soylent Green made from human bodies. According to FBI chief Gunderson the US purchased 1000's of XL plastic washable coffins & guillotines. Rev 20:4 explains the guillotines. Rev 9:11 They have over them a king, an Angel of the Abyss who's name in Hebrew is A-bad-don the Destroyer, In Greek his name is A-pol-lyon the Destroyer. What number do you call when disaster strikes ? 911 !!! According to CNN on 9-11 Flight 11 Allegedly hit the N Tower at 11 min to 9. Actually it's impossible for planes made of aluminum to disappear into buildings made of steel. There were no real planes just holograms, a surround sound system & thermite explosives ! Building 7 next door also collapsed exactly like a controlled demolition the same day ?
An incredibly underrated 80’s film that I’ve grown to appreciate, is “Bright Lights, Big City.” Based on the novel written by Jay Mclnerney, and starring Michael J. Fox, the film is about a young man working as a fact checker for a major New York magazine who turns to substance abuse as a way to cope with the struggles of his wife having left him to further pursue her modelling career, and the loss of his mother to Leukaemia a year prior. Compared to Michaels’ earlier roles; this one takes on a much more serious theme. And working alongside Kiefer Sutherland-another 80’s icon-this film well represents his versatility as an actor and performer. I definitely recommend!
@@johngrayatkinson1214 Lol, yes! Less than zero, I must've been in a fog. Great films back then, seems the industry has been on a steady decline as good movies seem fewer and farther between year after year.
"They Live" was a freaking BRILLIANT movie and one of the best sci-fi films of all time. John Carpenter at his tongue-in-cheek, understated best. Every five minutes , there's a set-up and a punchline, and the scene where John Nada (Roddy Piper) puts on the sunglasses for the first time, which allow him to see what messages are being transmitted by the aliens, is pure cinematic gold, as good as anything Stanley Kubrick ever did. Plus the fight scene with Keith David's Frank Ermitage was exceptionally staged and executed (where Roddy is in his element., of course.) Funny and dramatic and gritty and both surreal and down-to-earth at the same time. And Roddy Piper puts in a VERY respectable performance for a professional wrestler.
Manhunter (1985) remains my favorite iteration of the Red Dragon story. Great acting and haunting soundtrack! I also loved True Stories (1986), Rumble Fish (1983) Cat People (1982) but not sure if they would be considered underrated.
And although it was meant as a critique of consumerism, it is even more relevant now concerning the political left and their brainwashing of people through the corrupt media!
This might not be the same reason for a lot of people, but I have personally not seen this movie yet because I thought it was just another zombie movie.
"Big Trouble in Little China" was an extremely fast paced fantasy/action/comedy directed by John Carpenter in 1986. One of my favorite forgotten movies.
It was fun but bad movie. Kurt Russell mimicking John wayne got tired after a point. And most of the supporting cast were rather forgettable (or just poorly acted)
That's how I found the movie. Cook in my favourite restaurant was watching a movie. The sound design and music was so perfect and atmospheric that I had to ask about it!
***** Lol! If putting on the glasses represents seeing the oligarchy for what it is. Running out of bubble gum represents being done with childish, pointless behavior. ;D
Golgotha_Mythos69 Yessssssss If only we could get the darned world to put the glasses on. The Bolsheviks (Rothschild) are back at it but this time it is the whole world. Depopulation 💉 Georgia Guidestones: 1) maintain a world population of 500 million.
Glad to see They Live in this list. It was definitely one of my favorite movies of the '80's. The scene where Roddy Piper first puts on the sunglasses and looks at billboards, signs, money, etc, has always stuck in my mind, and I still think about it today when I see all the trash advertising and dis-informative news surrounding us.
Midnight Run 1988 is the best action comedy ever made imo. Should've at least made this list. It's so underrated, lists of underrated films don't include that film.
"Lucas" was underrated? That movie must have been played about a thousand times on HBO back in the '80s! People may not go back to rediscover it, but I think that it got the acknowledgement that it deserved at the time at least.
One Crazy Summer is a really fun flick with John Cusack and Demi Moore (and of course Bob Goldthwait as well)! It's nothing fancy but it's the perfect example of why 80's films were the best. Just lots of fun and spontaneity to go around! I just recently saw They Live and loved it and it was cool to see The Brave Little Toaster at least mentioned (TBLT is actually quite dark and spooky at times making it more than just a simple happy-go-lucky kids movie.)
Willow, Time Bandits, Monster Squad, The 'Burbs, The Last Starfighter, Innerspace, Band of the Hand, House of the Long Shadows, and Pet Cemetery. The 80's were amazing!
it's another film with Anthony Hopkins in the one where he's a butler and falls in love with made with that is 80s or the 90s I can't remember but it was beautiful.
And innerspace yeah for its time it utilized a lot of really cool tricks and makeup and things like that. And like they live it made you think it was fresh and new and it wasn't like anything else that they had going at the time that's why I enjoyed it.
M.R. is literally just every other single buddy movie ever made. What is there about it that you haven't seen a million times? How can you people be so simple as to be entertained by the same bland formula over and over and over and over and over and over again - two mismatched personalities get paired up together, and initially they don't like each other, then after a series of bonding misadventures, they become the best of buddies. It's literally just a shitty modern recycling of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid set in contemporary times. Meanwhile there's something like The Last Detail (1973) that subverts that cliche at the end and is realistic, and instead you're praising this platitude Hollywood falls back on. Every. Single. Time.
They Live is legitimately a great film. John Carpenter was at his best as a director and Rowdy Roddy Piper really stepped up to the plate as an actor. Better than most wrestlers have ever managed to.
One of the most underrated movies of the 80s is also a movie I bet most people don't even know exists. 1981's Quest For Fire is a gem. It's a movie set in the time of cavemen and a time when possessing fire was crucial to the survival of a tribe. There is not one spoken word of english, no subtitles and no need for any. Seek it out and be prepared to be impressed.
As I was only 8 or 9 when that came out I could be wrong here, but seems to me that movie was a pretty big deal at the time. Amazing picture at any rate.
+Couch Tomato Oh my little brother was so addicted to Monster Squad, he wore out the VHS tape. We still say "is she a virshin?" to get a giggle out of the family.
I went back and watched it again. This movie is bad - not at first but after 2nd or 3rd time it doesnt hold up. Office space ive watched 10 times and still good.
Woah I am shocked they put After Hours on here! When they were mentioning “honorable mentions” I said out loud “man no love for after hours” 👏 👏 all that’s missing is Brazil
Koexistence13 One of my favorites too. The quality and suspense is consistent throughout the movie,and it is as though you feel what he's going through.Great Stephen King story and adaptation.Christopher Walken is perfection,and Martin Sheen perfect as the corrupt politician dooming us all if elected! Should have lots more praise!
Dead Zone is definitely a solid movie. However, The underrated 80s David Cronennberg film which Should have been on this list is Dead Ringers - even IF only for the performance of Jeremy Irons, who played twins in it.
@CisforCock Dead Ringers isn't underrated - it's usually placed, by fans and critics, towards the top of his work, it's included in 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, The Toronto international Film Festival placed on their top 10 Canadian movies of all time list (in 2004 and 2015), and numerous magazines have placed it on their best horror movies lists.
You left out The Hidden! Just the first 4 minutes of this classic is more exciting than anything made in the 80's! Watch this movie immediately and tell me if I'm wrong. Even the soundtrack is awesome!
+Sean Law I love Heathers! But was it underrated? I remember it being everywhere, and beloved by HBO well into the 90s. I got a lot of terminology out of that one that I used when I got to high school
Matt Dillon's best movie EVER is Over the Edge (1979, so it doesn't qualify for this list), his first movie roll, if you've never seen it do so, it's based on real events.
Blow was awesome John Lithgow. John Travolta and Nancy Allen (younger crowd will recall her from Robocop as Murphy's partner, or one of the girls in Carrie) What about Miracle mile that was pretty good
What about Something Wicked This Way Comes? It's one of the best children's movies I've ever seen, and while there are the odd references to it in pop culture, no one really seems to directly talk about it, and it did poorly at the box office.
I have bought The Dead Zone on DVD a few times because after I watch it I tell someone how much I like the movie, then they ask to borrow it and it never gets returned to me, that's what happens when you loan out your DVD's.
No. It isn't. I like how you say "for sure" - how do you think your opinion is fact? Maybe you should watch more 80's movies - particularly foreign one and lesser-known uncommon ones, before being easily impressed by every boring Stephen King adaptation that's just like any other.
@Jeg Hunckel You're not answering how this is in any demonstrable way any different from any other King movie, and you using extremely generic nothing descriptions which just simply reflect your own personal opinion is not a demonstration of "greatness".
Three picks: 1. Miracle Mile- starring Anthony Edwards. Starts as a standard 80s rom-com, ends with front row seats to the apocalypse. 2. Looker- stars Albert Finney and Susan Day, it’s a near-future where computers can digitally recreate actors for use in movies and commercials, and corporations use media to mold an unsuspecting populace. So completely unbelievable, obviously. 3. Fright Night- vampire horror-comedy with Roddy McDowell as a monster movie host on late night tv who plays Van Helsing to William Ragsdale’s teenage vampire hunter out to rescue his girlfriend.
How is a generic video that no one's ever heard of and that hasn't done anything to distinguish itself from all the bland faceless 100's of thousands of videos ever made "under-appreciated" as a piece of work among works? It's literally "oh, the one you've should've really been with has been with you all along / the girl you just met while trying to get this other girl" (frequently involving a road trip) so literally the most generic formulaic platitude ever. It's been done countlessly: It happened one night, sex drive, 'When Harry met Sally', Better off Dead, seeking a friend for the end of the world, countless tv show episodes, etc. Quit being easily impressed by literally the most lazy un-inventive pedestrian shit in existence.
Repo Man is terrible. Compare it to something like Paris, Texas, you goddam casual - it's his best role (and one of his very few leading ones), it came out the same year, has the same D.P., is included in 1,001 movies you must watch, is on Roger Ebert's great movies list, and was the favorite movie of Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith. What does crappy Repo Man amount to? Even among Cult classics, it's not anything distinguished. It's not even Alex Cox's best - even Sid and Nancy and Straight To Hell were better. Repo Man was a really bad forgettable no-budget B-Movie.
@@stoogefest16 Even though it's awful TV-movie level garbage. Pray tell, what due and proper credit is there to give to this Cobra (the Stallone movie) level of trash? And no, just because it has a "message" doesn't make it any good. There are plenty of awful "message" movies out there. If I may suggest, the whole consumer/materialist satire has been handled much better in countless other works, probably most exemplary in Bret Easton Ellis' novel 'American Psycho', which mocks the yuppie lifestyle much more viciously and bitingly than this brain-dead unwatchable garbage videotape.
How? It's literally just "cliche Bully: "fight me after school" followed by panicking before finally standing up to the bully. That's the plot of numerous tv show episodes, particularly after-school specials. It couldn't be any more common and pedestrian and plain and ordinary and literally indistinguishable. Do you hear yourself?
The movie They Live will never be rebooted, that movie is more relevant now than it was then, it was a warning to the people to open their eyes then but both eyes were wired shut then as it is now.
Steve DeJarnett’s Miracle Mile. A pretty hard movie to get a hold of (in more ways than one, as you can see, it’s very inaccessible). It’s so underrated that it doesn’t even show up in a list of underrated films.
Heavy Metal the animated movie was awesome and ahead of it's time. I see the other animated movies in the honorable mentions but "Heavy Metal" should have made th top ten.
My 10 Favorite Underrated films of the 80s are 1-Earth Girls are Easy 2-Mask 3-Summer School 4-Friday The 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan(this is actually my 2nd favorite Friday The 13th film) 5-Roxanne 6-All Dogs Go To Heaven 7-Heavy Metal 8-The Pick-up Artist 9-Hauned Honeymoon 10-Cobra
@GenericMediocrity you want substantial movies On Golden Pond there done. I also don't think you have the right to dictate what other people watch or whatever other people find me the best movie ever in the 80s cuz that's going to be vary person to person. Jesus the ego on you.
@GenericMediocrity if you'd stop being adouchebag you would realize that we( I mean the person above me) werre agreeing with the person that made the comment when they put it as number one. It's just an agreement that we think it's one of the best.. not the greatest not the most substantial. Movies can be fun they can be entertaining and they can be cool (personally howeve I prefer books horror or true crime get back then as well.)I was a child of the 70s(born in 1973), 80s. Pretty boys were a huge thing.I thinki i give a shit about blade runner back (student love it but I could appreciate it more in the 90s when I hit my twenties and started having my kid's).when I was 13 to17 .I did like full metal jacket.and you know what just because you see that I'm female or whatever your trollish reasons I'm done.. fuck off. edited even if you didn't mean to sound like a troll you came off very rude and offense (oh and condescending as well.)talking down to people and trying to show your vast knowledge that you seem to think you have isn't a good way to start a conversation. You can say. got you.. but I prefer.. instead of all the rude as shit you you just said.For someone who wants to appear to be well-educated and well-rounded you don't act like it and you don't come off that way either. But hey if you want to know my list today would be. 1984. 12 angry men (seriously can't recommend this movie enough and it is amazing). A few Good men. Platoon. Going to agree lady or gentleman above me say the mask. Lucas The Goonies. Hamburger hill. Gran Torino. Running on empty. Golden Pond. Secret Life of bees. The Unforgiven. The usual suspects. Mostly anything that Michael Moore did. The princess Bride because I watched it hundreds of times . Back to the Future 1 2 & 3 The pick up artist. Chances or anything that Robert Downey jr. Did. What's eating Gilbert grape and pretty much anything that Johnny Depp does. (Or at least watch it once.) Moonstruck(wasn't fond mermaids though.) Hannibal all books and tv ,movies pretty much love them all save that Brian Cox version... But the movie otherwise it's okay..uh mindhunter I think the name is. The rocket of Gibraltar(awesome movie(it made me love art.. Anne Rice and really want to be cremated). Long-term companion(what can I say it was the AIDS epidemicpeak and no one was talking about it so a movie that dealt with people living through it was actually a welcome thing.) All films the planet of the apes (original). Pretty much anything done by Hitchcock. (And back. Just watch rear window the other day) Movies like citizen Kane wear my favorite you know done in the:40 50s and60(less annoying and pretentious). Also Star trek the show in the (except that reboot trash) Won't even cover Star wars because it's mixed up mess of B's (like the original trilogy though.) But those two are usually the only Syfy I do unless it's video vgames which is another thing all together. In truth I never was never much of a movie watcher. I can only tell you phones that I enjoyed as a child and throwing up I don't watch them these days. I prefer books video games and sometimes shows but even day will grate on my nerves.if I watch shows it has to be true crime or just a certain type of genre or else I will stop watching it. I guess in some sensesafter being a fan fiction writer and reader I really really hate where people go with storylines and I can watch the beginning of a movie or show and get halfway through it and know that I could have done better story-wise .if I liked it up until then I might see if it has fanfiction about. If not I'll come back later when it doesn't bother me if I get to that point. Bottom line is the older I get the less I give a shit about stuff like that. I guess I'm just a born reader. (Books and fanfiction their my thing.) I guess you can say I like video games because many of them are RPGs and it would do whatever I want and then I guess you can say I'm a control freak who likes to have a story on my way. Movies don't allow for it and I really don't have the patience for the shity storylines going on today. Okay just went on longer than I thought.. done now.
John Sayles' "Baby It's You," released in 1982, is IMHO the best film of the 1980s. Spectacular and criminally underrated movie, "Baby It's You". Don't miss it.
