Great Eighties Hollywood Hits
A lot of people make derisory comments about the 1980’s and knock the fashions, hairstyles etc But you can’t deny it was a decade that produced some great movies.
So many of these great movies haven’t been seen by those who are around the age of 23 or younger. This is a crying shame as these films deserve to be enjoyed by the younger generation too.
These movies still stand out today and their influences can be heavily seen in today’s cinema. They are still great to watch today, nearly 30 years later.
Let’s cut to the chase, these are 5 movies which I have loved since I first saw them. Give them a try yourself to see what I’m talking about.
You may know Elisabeth Shue from her recent work, but in the 1980’s she was known as the star of Adventures in Babysitting. Set on the streets of Chicago, this is a cult movie these days and has stood the test of time.
A sports movie that still has me in hysterics is the wonderful Major league. There are two sequel movies but the original is still the best.
A truly iconic movie from the 1980’s in the Breakfast Club. Starring many of the young stars of that era including Molly Ringwald, you will probably have heard of it even if you haven’t gotten around to seeing it yet. This is a movie that really deserves the title ‘classic’.
A young kid skips school and takes his girlfriend and best buddy to spend the day in the big city of Chicago. This is the simple plot of Ferris Bueller’s day off, but the great script and strong performances of a young Matthew Broderick and his co-stars really make this a movie to be watched over and over again.
Two hours of action and shoot em ups shouldn’t make great cinema, but when the leading man is Bruce Willis in THAT vest, you will see why Die Hard was, and is, one of the greatest action movies of all time. They are still producing sequels to this these days, but for me, this is still the best.
