But the flying car man, aww shucks

You can't argue with the fact it was a box office hit.

Waddyamean “about” the Vietnam War? It’s not a documentary. It’s a fictitious tale based on a work of fiction by a Polish gadgy that was published in 1899!

Haha, In that case they should have gave Martin sheens character laser beam eyes to kill Marlon Brando

Love Apocalypse now still. I was a big fan of Sheen and he really struggled health wise in that movie . The Doors " this is the end" is another fav of mine and the Duvall beach scene, and the helicopters are fantastic .

Like Newton John at the end mind

The warriors, it is absolutely shite

Genuinely assumed after watching it that it was one of those that fell into the category of 'so shit that it's class'

Totally pointless thread.

The films were films of that era, some revolutionary, some discovering new genres.
Star Wars
Warriors
Wanderers
Quadrophenia
All, great classic films.
Ban the Op

Stone him.... (Life of Brian ref).

Fight club. More like shite club

I just watched The Eagle Has Landed on YouTube and somehow I've never seen it or I've forgotten it. The plot was utterly preposterous and Jenny Agutter didn't get her kit off.

A movie that was shit but loved it the and now was Tremors I couldn't get the kids into any of the Ernest movies

Goonies is top of my list

The Mrs is saying Mac and Me

Loved Mac and Me as a kid. Watched it on repeat. Scared to watch it now incase all the magic has gone and I find it shit. Think I’ll leave that one firmly where it is just incase!

The Firm starring Tom Cruise.

The start is great but it just goes on forever.

 

[Boz33]

There’s a lot of classics here stretching the term classic to the max

 

[Frank Bullitt]

One of the best films ever made man. Watched it on film 4 a couple of weeks a go. I’d go as far as to say it’s iconic.

I used to hate this film too. I watched it again during one of the lockdowns and I "got it". Its a masterpiece.

The Warriors is rubbish, The Wanderers is still great.
I’ll chuck Scarface as one that I thought was brilliant when I was a teenager but is actually shite
