I was jetison'd for Ma in 1979, so this stuff holds some massive sentimental apeal. Especially Batman, that movie ruled my life. Willow..... cant help but chuckle when I think of that pos, it was right up there with the live action He-Man.
Flash Gordon.... another fave, not sure on the year of that one though.
 
I loved Willow when it came out and because of it I got introduced to the LOTR books. Mad Martigan kicks ASS!
 
I watched flash gordon not too long ago, think it was made about '87, was a good dvd print. That movies still pretty cool. I could definately watch beetlejuice again and I have batman on dvd, been years since I've checked that out. I actually still like the He-man movie. I haven't seen Wizard or A Christmas Story and believe it or not, never got round to Labrynth.
 
Stop whatever it is your doing. And go watch Labrynth...Labrinth....whatever. Its a damn fine flick. As is Christmas story. All though "they" (some cable channel" plays A Christmas story for 24. Hours. Straight. At some point during the holiday season.

And speaking of "They" thats a great flick as well!
 
Yeah I'll get Labrynth out tomorrow. I don't think I'll be able to find A Christmas Story anywhere here though.

"They" , that's the one with rowdy Roddy Piper, right? (Or was it "They Live") That has one of my favourite fight scenes, old school down and dirty (more of a 'scrap').
 
Yeah, how didi I not remember "Ghostbusters". That was amazing for my childhood. And "Caddyshack makes me laugh to this day!
 
The Princess Bride
Back to the Future
Original Star Wars Trilogy
Indiana Jones films (feel like a dumbass, I just recently realized part II was a prequel!)
ET

Probably giving it more credit than it deserves but the side characters in Better off Dead are classic. 2-Dollars, the little brother, the racing brothers, and others. They had better lines and jokes than the main guys.
 
Just watched Labrynth, yeah it's good. I couldn't help but think there's sooo much work in a movie like that, lot of effort.
 
Labrynth is a great time as is the Dark Crystal, another great one as is The Last Unicorn, even though thats a cartoon.
 
Did The Last Unicorn have Tom Cruise? Or do I need to lay off the smack?

Haven't seen Adventures in Babysitting. Unfortunately the video stores near me don't have a lot of these cool movies. Bummer.
