I was gonna say 'True romance' but it turns out it was an early 90s film.

So here's Tango & Cash.

I always thought Solarbabies was the movie where the kids go to Nasa to train and accidently (wtf why is spell check saying I spelled accidently wrong?) get launched into space.

Turns out, I was thinking about this movie:

Neither of which I've seen.

I remember time bandits, loved that movie.

Wacky and wierd

Edit:

Willow was a favorite of mine growing up . I always wanted to be madmartigan. That was an epic fantasy movie.

NSFW:

Also: Big trouble in little china.

Ahhh the memories.

Here's another 80's classic:

 

[His Name Is Frank]

^^I love that movie! Paul Reubens aka Peewee Herman as the voice of the ship was great.

^"See You later navigator!"

Sounds like something Johnny 5 would say.

Holy. Shit.

I absolutely LOVED that film when I was a kid!

Veronica Cartwright was never quite right for that film though. Although Veronica Cartwright makes me slightly uneasy in every film she's in.

damn, all the good ones were taken! flight of the navigator being at the top...but i can't forget about the first time i saw boobies, and was thrilled each time it came on again and again...anyone remember...

and for the record. space camp was fucking awesome. i can still picture the house i watched it in, though i haven't a clue who it belonged to. you gotta love memories.

In addition to Gremlins, The Shining, Legend, Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, and a bunch of other awesome 80s movies that have already been mentioned, I'm rather surprised no one mentioned Ordinary People, from 1980.

Mary Tyler Moore was superb in this film. Not to mention the counseling session between Judd Hirsch and Timothy Hutton--Inspired the "it's not your fault" counseling session in Good Will Hunting (1997).

I highly suggest anyone with some free time give this film a view.

 

[Asclepius]

Flight of the Navigator ...An American tale, Legend, the Goonies, the karate kid ...Awesome

Dont think this one got a mention yet?

The decade of the cheesiest and best Comedies and Horror...

Some Uk /Ozzie peeps may remember...

This came out just at the turn of the 80's, saw it as a small kid and was distraught

scene- nawwwww look at him and his teeny teeth!

The Indiana Jones Clones

I remember seeing both of these at the theaters. I liked them better than *gasp! the Indiana Jones movies personally.

I saw this one in the theaters, too. It was pretty funny at times, but kind of a hit and miss comedy.

These two were less fun than the others, but had a young, hot Sharon Stone.

I barely even remember seeing this one, but I think I liked it. What did I know? I was just a kid back then so it might be total shit.
