I was very young when I first saw this. Back in the 80s Brooke Shield was one of the hottest teens. This romantic story involves 2 young loves who discovers experiences in lives and reaching adulthood. Uncorrupted by the world |

Mommie Dearest 1981, PG)
Told primarily by Christina Crawford's perspective. It is about the twisted relationship between Christina Crawford and her movie star mother, Joan Crawford. There is a scene that would put fear into the most fearless hearts, Faye Dunaway's scary visage with eyes practically bulgging out of her head screaming about those wire hangers. Way over the top? Yes but it is still most horrifying to watch. |

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 1982, PG)
Taking a walk down memory lane with my 6 year old, I was 10 the first time I saw this. A Spielberg's classic that brings back the emotions and sensations I had as I watched this beautiful story unfolded before my eyes. E.T is an exhilarating movie experience and the lovable three-fingered alien is loved by young and old. The story combines heart and humor and had me breaking out the hankies again even after 28 years. John Williams's beautiful score earned an Oscar. |

Decided to view this 80s classic again while waiting patiently for the premier of much anticipated Terminator Salvation.There is no better person to play a cyborg than Arnold. It is relentless and heartless. He made the quote'I'll be back', a classic. A compelling sci fi which laid the groundwork for the terminator sagas. |

Back to the Future Part II 1989, PG)
The sequel here has better effects and a better storyline. The plot has more twists and turns. Loads of fun gadgets here.For me, it's a visual treat watching McFly working the futuristic hoverboard and that thing is better and cooler than a skateboard. BTTF2 will not make sense to you unless you have seen and comprehended the first movie of the trilogy. From the present, to the future, back to the present, then back to the past, buckle up and enjoy the phenomenal ride. |

Stand by Me 1986, R)
A fantastic adaption from Stephen King's novel The Body. This is a timeless classic that brought back memories of childhood adventure. River Phoenix was an excellent and gifted child actor and it is a pity his life was cut short. My favorite scenes were the train and campfire scenes.Awesome oldie's songs like Stand By Me and Lollipop brought smiles to my face. A great coming of age film. |

Platoon 1986, R)
A war movie that is close to perfection. Each time I watch this, I appreciated this Oliver Stone's masterpiece more(wrote and directed). It portrays the very harsh realities of Nam war. Best ever performance from Charlie Sheen. |
|
| 85 |
Top Gun 1986, PG)
This one is visually stunning considering that it was done in the mid 80s. It looked cool, sounded really cool(the fighter jets). Sure the dialogues are corny and cheesy but so what, its a classic blockbuster. |

|

Full Metal Jacket 1987, R)
From the barracks to the battlefield scenes, this is one compelling drama. It is split in 2 parts. The 1st covers the nightmare of the Marine training( I find that this was the stronger part of the movie) and the other the nightmare of combat in Nam. Vincent D'Onofrio's unforgettable as Private Pyle. So innocent and lovable in the beginning and then truly horrifying the next. Full Metal Jacket" is one of the best films of the 80's ,courtesy of a top notch director, Stanley Kubrick. |

The Princess Bride 1987, PG)
For anyone who loved movies made in the 1980s, it is inconceivable not to be familiar with this one. A timeless classic. The film has the perfect fairytale story, it's got fighting, sports, fencing, true love, miracles, etc. The swashbuckling fight scenes were the highlights for me but some wonderful scenes are undermined by a tendency toward comic shtick. Much of the movie is tongue in cheek. Cary Elwes is perfect as the dashing hero rescuing his damsel in distress, played by Robin Wright. Loved by so many, it truly stood the test of time. |

Good Morning, Vietnam 1987, R)
It is always a pleasure watching this film again. I truly enjoy Robin Williams's full-frontal comic intelligence. He is indeed a gifted chameleon, he could impesonate almost any character and makes viewers laughs. This one is a real treat after watching somber films about Vietnam, such as Platoon and Hamburger Hill. It is an uplifting film. It is loosely based on the true story of Adrian Cronauer, an air force radio DJ who was transferred to Vietnam. |

At Close Range 1986, R)
The movie has a very slow buildup but it is dramatically satisfying. The cast alone is worth renting this movie for. Walken's searing performance as the cold-blooded, white trash sociopath. A youthful Sean Penn is mesmerizing and powerful on screen. He plays Walken's firstborn, Brad. The early part of the movie is showing Brad Jr's initial idolization of his father to later loathing him. As much as I was drawn to the story, I would never want to view it again, truly tragic. Based on a true story. |

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975, R)
A wonderful story about the triumph of the human spirit. It took me a long time to finally watch this, I suppose if I had viewed this sooner I would not know how to appreciate this film as I do now. The film boasts at least three terrific performances: Jack Nicholson as the merry trickster who cons his way into a mental hospital, however as good as Jack was, the film simply wouldn't work without the ensemble cast like Brad Dourif as the most fragile of the inmates, the suicidal Billy Bibbit and Will Sampson as the largely silent Native American. |

A great list. It's funny to see most people growing up in the 80's enjoyed the same films. Some classic films came from that era.
