Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
I think this is the only adventure movie Ringwald has been in, I don't know why she didn't do more, this movie was really enjoyable, and she was great in it.

High School U.S.A. 1983,  G)
High School U.S.A.
This exceeded my expectations. Not only are there some of my favorite actors in this movie, it's got drama, comedy, and suspense. It's an enjoyable movie.

Terms of Endearment 1983,  PG)
Terms of Endearment
This is one of the best dramas of the 80s. Great actors, story, and well...everything.
11
Class 1983,  R)
Class
This was a great movie. It has so many of my favourite actors: Rob Lowe, John Cusack, Andrew McCarthy, Alan Ruck....! Wow! And the story is really dramatic and interesting. There are also a lot of really funny scenes, like in the beginning when Lowe and McCarthy are playing pranks on each other. This is a must see 80s movie.
12
A Christmas Story 1983,  PG)
A Christmas Story
A Christmas classic, I want this movie for Christmas!
13
Educating Rita 1983,  PG)
Educating Rita
A classic 80s film from the UK, a must see drama! Plus, the story still holds up today, there are many people just like Rita who are going back to school to get an education, and I think they should see this movie. I highly recommend this one.
14
Sleepaway Camp 1983,  R)
Sleepaway Camp
Crazy movie, crazy ending, you have to see it to believe it.
15
WarGames (War Games) 1983,  PG)

Love this movie, it's an awesome sci-fi adventure with rock and roll music!
17
Max Dugan Returns 1983,  PG)
Max Dugan Returns
Matthew Broderick is so cute in this movie, one of his first. It's also funny and sweet. I loved it.

Jaws 3 1983,  PG)
Jaws 3
I don't know why they kept making these jaws movies, but it worked somehow. I loved the way they killed the shark this time!

Mr. Mom 1983,  PG)
24
Easy Money 1983,  R)
Easy Money
I enjoyed this movie, it's about family and marriage, addiction and self control, business and the working class. It's a funny comedy, but there is more to it than that. The movie has good actors, a good story, and it's enjoyable. The only problems are on the technical side, but it was probably due to a low budget. Overall a very good movie.
25
The Big Chill 1983,  R)
The Big Chill
Great cast, great music, and some humor here and there make for a good movie. The only thing I didn't like about it is that nothing is resolved in the end. This is a "slice of life" story, a real drama movie, and if you love that you will love this movie.
26
A Night in Heaven 1983,  R)
A Night in Heaven
A good romantic drama, even though it does leave you wondering what happened to one of the characters in the end. The actors are really good, though, and Atkins is hot in this movie. It's a nice movie, and I liked it.
27
The Man with Two Brains 1983,  R)
28
The Pee-Wee Herman Show 1983,  Unrated)
29
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life 1983,  R)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Most of this movie is very funny, but there are some bad jokes too.
30
Screwballs 1983,  R)
31
Strange Brew 1988,  PG)
Strange Brew
I'd been wanting to see this movie for a long time because I love Rick Moranis, but I'd only seen a bit of SCTV, so I wasn't too familiar with the characters. Even so, I liked them, and the movie was funny and charming, but it's not the best comedy in the world (or even in Canada).
32
Choose Me 1984,  R)
33
The Return of Captain Invincible (Legend in Leotards) 1983,  PG)
The Return of Captain Invincible (Legend in Leotards)
I half liked it and half hated it. This is a very different superhero movie. First of all, it's a musical as well, and I didn't know Christopher Lee could sing, it was cool to hear him. This is also kind of a superhero movie spoof, and it is funny in that department. The only problem I had with this movie was that it seemed to get off track in some scenes, and I got confused, somethings didn't seem to make sense. Plus, I hated the ending. Overall, an interesting movie to check out.
34
Psycho II 1983,  R)
Psycho II
A good sequel, I was kept guessing the whole time, but I didn't like how it ended it felt very convenient. Perkins seemed a bit quiet in this movie, he didn't have any kinds of outbursts of madness or anything, which I thought might happen, so I was a bit disappointed with his performance. I wasn't sure what to rate this movie, I kind of like it, but I kind of didn't. Still it was good for a sequel. I'm sure Hitchcock would have done a better job at it, though.
35
D.C. Cab 1983,  R)
D.C. Cab
Wow, this movie was better than I expected, not that it was a great movie, just better than I thought it would be. The beginning of the movie feels very fragmented and it didn't all come together into a story until about an hour into the movie. It has some of funny scenes, but it could have used more. Plus, I was surprised to see Cara play herself, I thought she was going to be a character in the movie, but she had a small cameo in one scene. The ending was really good, and the characters were interesting, but overall this movie could have been better, but it's still a fun movie nevertheless.
36
The Survivors 1983,  R)
The Survivors
It was enjoyable enough to watch, I'd say, not that I'd recommend it to anyone. The story has good intentions, the actors do their best, and there are some funny scenes. It just felt so mediocre, like some scenes were pushing too hard to get a laugh out of you, and Williams' performance was great in some scenes but bad in others, I wasn't sure what to think about him in this movie. Matthau plays the straight man, and he does a good job, but he can be boring at times. You can just feel something lacking in this movie, I'm not sure what it is, but I still say if you want to see it go ahead, it's not bad, but don't expect it to be fantastic either.
37
Losin' It 1982,  R)
Losin' It
An interesting and funny look at teenage love and angst as a group of guys go on a trip to Mexico in the 60s.
38
Smurfs and the Magic Flute 1976,  Unrated)
39
The Hunger 2005,  R)
The Hunger
Vampires are way cool, but this movie also involved medical science, which is too real life for a vampire movie.

The House on Sorority Row 1983,  R)
The House on Sorority Row
I liked the main girl, Katherine, in this movie played by McNeil, she was good. As for the movie itself, it's okay, for a predictable story it has some good surprises. The most exciting parts are at the very end, though. Overall, an alright horror film.
46
Cujo 1983,  R)
Cujo
Ok, a mad dog and a woman with a kid in the car, no help around for miles. That's not much to make a movie out of, but they did it anyway.
47
Fire and Ice 1983,  PG)
Fire and Ice
Not Bakshi's best movie, actually it's kind of disappointing compared to his other films. I was expecting more in the way of blood and guts and sex and stuff like that, but it didn't happen. Sure the characters are all scantily clad, but there's no reason for it, and they look cold. Sometimes this movie got on my nerves because the princess kept getting captured and freed and captured and freed, enough's enough! Other than those problems, the story is pretty good for a fantasy movie, and the animation looks just as good as his other movies. Overall, it's okay, but disappointing after seeing his better known films.
48
Stuck on You 1983,  R)
Stuck on You
Funny enough, but a lot of the jokes are predictable and some just aren't funny any more. This movie is mainly told in flashbacks and funny reenactments of history, which were pretty good for the most part. I guess I just wanted more from this movie.
49
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence 1983,  R)
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
This might have been better in the 70s. Even so, it's long and boring and Bowie is the only star, he isn't even that interesting in the movie either. It's all flashbacks and sitting and suicides and stuff.

Strange Invaders 1983,  PG)

Getting It On! 2004,  R)

The Weather in the Streets 1983,  Unrated)
57
Superman III 1983,  PG)
Superman III
The worst Superman movie of them all probably. Even though it has Pryor, he doesn't add anything but bad jokes, and the plot is just stupid. Don't bother to see this.
58
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank 1983,  Unrated)
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
I loved Raul Julia, but the movie itself isn't worth of him. The plot is confusing and stupid, the horrible special effects get in the way all the time, and I still can't believe that guy who was trying to impersonate Peter Lorre! On the bright side, this movie is hilarious because of all those things, it's so bad you keel over laughing. I felt bad for Raul being in this movie. Anyway, if you want to watch a hilariously bad movie, check this out.
59
Romantic Comedy 1983,  PG)
Romantic Comedy
This movie got on my nerves, Steenburgen loves Moore's character who is an egotistical, married, writer. They work together for a long time, but never have an affair, even though his wife knows that they really love each other? And then she marries this other guy, and he starts having affairs with actesses to get back at her, and his wife divorces him? This movie is crazy mixed up. Sure, this could happen in real life, but it frustrates me to watch a movie like this. Why does she love this guy? I just don't get this movie.

Xtro 1983,  R)

This was an extremely strange sci-fi movie that didn't tell you much about what was going on.

Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann 1983,  PG)
Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann
Ok, so they wanted to mix sci-fi and western, that was a good idea, but the movie doesn't keep your interest; it looses steam as some people say. I was just totally bored with it after watching about 30 minutes of it on TV.

My Tutor 1982,  R)
My Tutor
Not interesting, not good, nothing great about this movie that I can think of.

A Night to Dismember 1983,  Unrated)
A Night to Dismember
It's true, this is one of the worst horror movies ever made! Maybe THE worst? I wouldn't recommend watching this movie, but if you do, beware that it's mostly narrated. Who's ever heard of a narrated horror movie? It was so bad that sometimes I found it funny. The actors don't get to say much, the narrator says their lines most of the time. Not only was that bad, but also the special effects looked like a high schooler was in charge of them, they were incredibly fake, as was the make-up. Anyway, they were laughable, as were the acting, music, and story. The story is really crazy and confusing at times, and is narrated by a reporter who "narrowly" escapes the killer, (although it looks as though he should have died). Also, there were many repetitive, boring scenes. If that's not enough to convince you that this is the worst horror movie, go ahead and see it yourself, you were warned!
68
Copper Mountain: A Club Med Experience 1983,  PG)
Copper Mountain: A Club Med Experience
Jim Carrey's first is his worst! I think it was mainly the fault of the director and writer probably. This movie has three things going on at once, none of which the audience particularly cares about because there's pretty much no story. There's some ski race involving Alan Thicke, who thinks he can beat the old champ just because he's out of shape. There's some bands singing at the resort. And then there's Carrey doing funny impressions of famous people to impress some chicks. That's all that's going on in this one hour movie. I got bored with it and didn't watch the end, but at least Carrey is slightly funny.
69
Warrior of the Lost World 1984,  R)
Warrior of the Lost World
I watched the MST3K version of this movie today, it was funny, and later I forgot what it was even about. There is little plot, and lots of action. Just like some movies today, actually. Of course a lot of the action is people running around different locations for no reason, or Ginty's motorcycle saying silly things as he's about to collide with a wall! This movie is really absurd and makes little sense.
