Jeff Cohen A.K.A. Chunk would you believe is now an American Attorney...

Beetlejuice

Special mention:

I always love reading these, what mine at the moment are but could change tomorrow!
The 3 movies which stand out.

The Goonies
Never ending story
First Blood/Indiana Jones (sorry couldn't choose)

 

[Palifan]

Jason & The Arganauts, Clash of the Titans, Sinbad & The Eye of the Tiger...

Loved those Ray Harryhausen stop-motion movies as a kid.
Valley of Gwangi was another favourite. Dinosaurs and cowboys. Brilliant

Same for me, Valley of Gwangi blew my mind as child and as a stop motion animator it had quite a lasting effect on me although Luke on the Taun Taun probably made my mind up for me about what I wanted to do.

Childhood films though probably Superman,Ghostbusters and Indy.

After reading all these I want to change my list now!

 

[SAVORY100]

I thought the same especially as the Sinbad mentions brought back great memories of watching them with my Grandfather.

I think I'd have a lot more to say if it was favourite 80's films, but an awful lot of them I didn't really watch that much when I was a kid (under 15), but I did grow a great fondness when I was that bit older, for ones I may have seen once as a child... and hold that fondness still to this day.

 

[Cazza]

Completely forgot about Jason and the Argonauts and the Sinbad films, clash of the Titans, Invaders from Mars etc 8) Invaders from Mars was freaky!

 

[Grant_C]

****- forgot about The Lost Boys.

That has just turned 30 years old.

Alien/Aliens and Robocop as well.

 

[Mini99]

Has this tread become which films from the 80s did you enjoy.
Surely you guys never watched these films in your childhood, if you did well... :shock:

 

[Cazza]

Nick, agree with you! I was thinking of films from primary school sort of age. Saw most of the others as an older teenager. First horror I saw was American Werewolf when I was around 12. Scared the living daylights out of me. Was at a mate's house and they'd recorded it off the TV- his mum was happy for us to watch it, my mum certainly wasn't happy when she found out!

 

[Mini99]

I can't really remember watching films growing up other than being taken to see the odd Disney "classic", 2001 with my Dad and Where Eagles Dare with my Grand dad, I think these were the only times we went, money was tight.
Films I remember fondy when I was a teenager i.e over 16 are:
Blazing Saddles
Alien
The Warriors (what a classic)
I also remember seeing pirate copies of Shivers and Confessions of a window cleaner, both eye opening for different reasons :lol:

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Add Rosie Dixon Night Nurse and Porkies to that last list for the same reason.
