They Live (1988, R)
They live! Awesome '80s movie starring an ex-wrestler with a kick-ass mullet and magical sunglasses that can see aliens. Yes, they live! As cheesy as it is, it was actually sort of thought-provoking stuff to me when I saw this as a kid. |

Cat People (1982, R)
Putting out fire...with GASOLINE! No '80s movie would be complete without a cheesy theme song, even if it is Bowie. This is a remake of a '40s movie, but I find this one more entertaining. It reminds me of The Hunger, same time period and the same kind of horror (not gore or Freddy Krueger - more atmospheric, I guess). |

Oh, how I wish this movie had been good. I love Bowie, and musicals, and '60s music, and 80s movies...but this is so bad. And not in a funny way. Boring. |

River's Edge (1987, R)
Dark '80s "teen" movie, this movie isn't typical of the genre. Gritty drama starring Keanu Reeves, a very freaked-out Crispin Glover, and a very disturbing Dennis Hopper. All of the kids are basically delinquents and pessimistic about life. Sort of an anti-Bueller (I guess it came out around the same time). |
