Movies from the 80's

This is why Robert De Niro stands out as my favorite actor EVER. He does a superb job in this one, along with Martin Scorsese at his best moment. Everything is just perfect in this movie. Everyone should watch it at least once.

As beautiful as life itself! Honest and believable, I almost felt as reading exactly what the people were thinking. Wonderful stories between a decadence frame, when the Berlin world was facing a horrible time, people maintain their own stories and secrets. Excellent movie!

What a magnificent film! Pure Bergman magic (specially to the end), stunning cinematography and great performances! A very powerfull story, containing Bergman's favorite subjects such as death, relationships and changes. A surprising film, with some unexpected twists. Perfect! A classic!

Brazil, one of the most complex and complete movies of all time! Who could think a Sci-fic would also be a comedy, an action flick, a romantic movie, and a drama; and still be spectacular!?! A surreal journey through some memorable scenes of classic cinema, such as Metropolis and Battleship Potemkin. A masterpiece about corruption, bureocracy, the wish for youth, love, family, depression, insanity and the magic of dreams! One of those perfect movies that should last forever and ever! The movie V for Vendetta wanted to be, but didn't even reached his toes. EXCELLENT!! Highly recommended.

David Lynch's masterpiece! A very sad story, of what people do to those who are different, and a story about greed and money-making no matter what. With great performances by John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins, excellent directing, cinematography (black and white) and striking music. The Elephant Man is a classic of surrealistic American cinema!

Probably one of the most moving films ever made. A true celebration of youth, friendship and the magic of cinema, as the tagline says. The character's best moments were lived enjoying those elements, although his career is successful he really loved his back years in Sicily, with Alfredo, the Nuovo cinema paradiso, and Elena. Every time is watch this movie I can't help to thank cinema for those magic moments it creates in our lives!

Oh my God, I can't believe that the saddest movie I have ever seen is animated! The first scene is also the most impressive attack scene ever seen. This movie was so tragic, I think I wouldn't smile for about an hour after seeing this movie! Visual masterpiece, I loved the idea of the fireflies that die so young and linking it to Setsuko, who at the end seems to have her own glow. Very good.

Simply amazing! Very surrealistic, gore, and fun! Alejandro Jodorowsky really knows how to make his type of movies!

WOW! What a great film! Even better than the first one! It is moving, it is scary, it is action packed.. it has everything you could ever imagine! Full of suspense and problems, one after the other and so on to the end of the movie! Fantastically directed by James Cameron, I think no other director could have done it better, he's the master of action-full-of-special-effects flicks! Sigourney Weaver is amazing as always, so as the rest of the cast. The creatures are amazing also, with some great unforgettable scenes, just incredible...

A masterpiece in every sense of the word. With quirky and odd characters, amazing writing, great performances by Michael Gambon and Helen Mirren specially, The mood is disturbing and a bit grotesque, I loved the way colors were almost a character, even their costumes change from room to room to keep the same color pattern (by the way, amazing costumes). The music was amazing as well. Actually, everything in this film was so perfect there's no way I could give it less than the 5 stars it deserves!

Something the world would never see again, one of a kind.

Ahead of its time, Cronenberg explores Western societies obsessed with the media, violence, and sex in a body-horror amazing film.

Wonderful movie about the results of life choices. The battle between fiction and reality, from choosing wealth and fame or romanticism. Great writing, great performances and a surprising ending.

One of the greatest adventure films out there! Action-packed, with unforgettable scenes and characters. With a very deep explorations on human kind, religion and anti-Nazi ideals.

This movie is a masterpiece. Enough said.

A true epic, a great film for a great man! Everything in this film was just perfect, the whole film I didn't watch Ben Kingsley performing, it was the true Gandhi on screen! Direction is perfect, the whole story is absolutely great. One of the best films in 1982 (too bad E.T. was from 1982 hehe)

It's been a while since I felt so inside a movie as I did in Full Metal Jacket! A movie about the horrors of war and what it makes to men. With some stunning cinematography and perfect color usage, as usual by Stanley Kubrick. With some mind-broken characters that you'll never forget, good shockers, great dialogue and directing. This only shows that Kubrick was a genius, he could take anything a simple person could do, but giving it his personal vision and transforming it into a masterpiece! Amazing film!

Woody Allen= flawless direction, amazingly real and entertaining writting, great cast choices (everyone does an excellent job) and a story that seems fresh even 20 years later that keeps you sticked to your seat the whole movie.

Not a very known film, but it surely is a masterpiece in Spanish cinema. Deals themes such as social classes conflicts and poverty in rural areas. Performances are great, specially Francisco Rabal.
A social drama that also criticizes relationships among aristocrats and workers that might sometimes be confused with some kind of slavery.

A magical and beautiful Miyazaki masterpiece full of characters easy to love and a fantastic story.

A-list cast.

Amazing action film, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the most memorable characters. Though the effects are very poor, still the movie is great, and is perfect it you think it leads perfectly to T2!
"I'll be back".

Another amazing film starring legendary Harrison Ford as one of the favorite adventure heroes of all time: Indiana Jones. What I love about this series is that no matter they're two hours long, you feel as if it only has passed 10 minutes! Sean Connery and Ford have a great chemistry on screen as father-son relationship. I can't wait to watch the fourth movie this May, 2008!

One of the greatest blockbusters of the 80's, highly entertaining and original. Its legacy reached nowadays, giving birth to a wealthy trilogy and an animated series in the 90's.

Hilarious and magical, a cult classic of the 80's, with unforgettable characters and a charming story.

Amazingly fun and creative film, more in like a soap-opera aesthetic, but with artificial settings and colorful characters, signature of Almodovar films.

Very funny movie with a message. Dustin Hoffman shines as Dorothy and Jessica Lange is just beautiful!

Very good, but nothing compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark! Willie and Shorty are very annoying... But Indiana Jones is the same, and we're all happy with that!

It ends up really cheesy, but who cares, there's something very punk about this movie that makes it impossible not to love it. Matt Dillon drags the whole attention because I found his character the most fun. I just wish I had watch this when I was younger because I'm pretty sure it might have caused an impact on me... And well, I loved the whole 50's background, those were some good years to live in that's for sure! A highly enjoyable movie.

That's it?
