1980s: My Favourite Eighties Films

This is romantic and pathetically real in parts. I don't know how else to explain it.

If you want an interesting look at relationship, give this film a watch. The chemistry between all the actors, but particularly Hepburn and Henry Fonda, was fantastic. Without it, the film would have been a total flop. But that chemistry drives the film and makes it a great success. Like most plays that are adapted to film, this story could be interpreted and analyzed for days. I particularly liked the dual theme of an old man dealing with aging and death and a young man dealing with coming of age. I identified strongly with Jane Fonda's character, especially her negative attributes. Funny, moving, simply charming! I wish that I could visit Golden Pond.

When I say this movie's great, I don't mean it in that nostalgic sort of way. This really is a great movie, even if detached from its Sesame Street base.

I loved this film! It stands the test of time with all its Fred Savagey goodness. I found myself laughing out loud/rolling on the floor throughout most of the movie largely due to its eccentric characters.

Besides the fact that it's time-place setting didn't quite work and it still wound up looking like an 80s romance film and that there really is nothing scandolous about the dancing even by yesterday's standards, this movie sucks you in. And where else can you get timeless quotes like, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."?

I think this film is a great credit to Robin Williams, who does what he does best. The story, while not complex, is somewhat layered which is a compliment to the humourous character of Adrian Cronauer.

Have I told you lately that I think Michael Moore is an awesome film maker? This tells the story of every abandoned town in a way that is unique to Moore's brand of documentary.

Anything with the Fraggles is a-ok by me.

I admit it. I loved this movie. Everytime I see it, I am surprised that Disney was willing and able to deliver that level of spook.

You could only get away with this in the '80s but it works.
