Short ciruit, man, its been a long long time since I've seen either of those films. The Running Man was good if only for Arnie cheesiness. The Burbs which I find to be an underrated comedy. This site is pretty funky for all your 80's movie needs. <IMG SRC=" http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/wink.gif">

I'd love the Breakfast Club if it weren't for the friggin' last 5 minutes. It's so depressing. The whole movie, they're saying "We're all equal! All the 'classes' are just like one another! All the kids are worthy!" And then what happens in the end? The nerd gets no tail and the jock isn't even remotely attracted to the odd girl until she gets a makeover from the friggin prep who has to hook up with the male lead even if that same male lead made her cry 3 times that day. What the Hell?

Comic Quest : the Adventures of Mark Twain.
A strange film I last saw when I was abot 4-5 years old. My mum recently got hold of a copy and I have been watching it again. A bit disturbing for a childrens film.

Originally posted by EvilLunch: And then what happens in the end? The nerd gets no tail There were five kids. Someone was going to get left out. Would you have been happier if it had been one of the other characters? and the jock isn't even remotely attracted to the odd girl until she gets a makeover Actually, he was attracted to her before that. It's subtle, but it's there. I liked Allison better before the makeover, though. from the friggin prep who has to hook up with the male lead even if that same male lead made her cry 3 times that day. What the Hell? She was just as mean to him as he was to her. They have to end up together, though. If they didn't, it would contradict the whole "We're all equal! All the 'classes' are just like one another!" thing that you mentioned.

Originally posted by David A: As I understand it, Molly Ringwald didn't like Claire either. She wanted to be Allison, but the part had already been promised to Ally Sheedy.
Ally Sheedy originally auditioned for the role of Claire, although afterwards she's quoted as saying something like "I could have never have played the part [Claire Standish] as well as Molly Ringwald did". I think it would have been weird seeing Ringwald as the basketcase though and vise versa. More "fun" trivia about it: - Rick Moranis was originally cast as Carl (the janitor) but left due to creative differences and was replaced with John Kapelos. - Emilio Estevez was originally going to play Bender, but Hughes couldn't find someone to play Andrew Clark, so Estevez did. - Nicolas Cage was originally considered for the role of John Bender, but production couldn't afford his asking salery. In the end it was a choice between John Cusack and Judd Nelson, and producers went for the latter - Bryan Ferry and Billy Idol both turned down offers to sing Don't You (Forget About Me), which was then recorded by Simple Minds (after Chrissie Hynde turned it down as well).

I usually do not watch a lot movies and even less I know from when they are, so I just read the whole page 1 and made a list of movies I do remember they were good ...
- Flashdance
- Police Academy (all parts, in case all are from the 80s)
- Back to the Future (then again, I couldn't see them again yet)
- Beverly Hills Cop (again all parts, in case they are all from the 80s)
- Lethal Weapon (I love that comedy somehow ... then again, I couldn't watch it again yet)
- Die Hard (isn't Bruce Willis just sexy?)
- Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi
- Indiana Jones (all parts, in case all are from the 80s)
- Ghostbusters I & II
- "Mel Brooks movies" (from when are his movies? I always thought 60s and 70s ... :confused: )
- Mel Brooks' World History: Part 1 (see question above)
- Mel Brooks' Spaceballs (well, one movie where I'm sure that it is from the 80s)
- Star Trek (in case there where made some movies in the 80s)
- Monty Python's Meaning of Life (from when is "Life of Brian?)
- Cocoon
- "Jack Nicholson movies from the 80s"
- Grease
- The Color Purple
- Fame
- The Last Unicorn
Could someone tell we the English names of following movies: (I think they may be 80s movies as well. At least they were great.)
- Die totall verrückte Reise in einem Bus
- Die totall verrückte Reise in einem Flugzeug
- Die totall verrückte Reise in einem Raumschiff
Also there were those two movies about an Eastcost to Westcost race. It's with Frank Sinatra :love:

I have no idea what those are. The literal translations of the titles don't sound like any movies that I've heard of. What are they about? Also there were those two movies about an Eastcost to Westcost race. It's with Frank Sinatra :love: I think you mean The Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II. Sinatra only appears in the second one, though.

Thanks a lot, David. I see you know a lot about movies (or you are at the Internet Movie Database for some hours every day ). Originally posted by David A: I have no idea what those are. The literal translations of the titles don't sound like any movies that I've heard of. What are they about? Well, first I've thought those three movies are a trilogy. Melly told me that just the second and the third belong together. The first movie is about a hyper-modern bus that goes crazy. The second and the third are about a pilot who tends to be too nervously in critical moments, but he has to save an airplane after the crew died of poisoned food and save a spaceship because its computer went mad. The plane- and the spaceship-movie are from the same people who brought Scary Movie to you. I think you mean The Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II. Sinatra only appears in the second one, though. Yes, those two movies ...
