Silly but good 1980's movies

[dizzwizz]

Another hilarious movie in the style of the Naked Gun movies is "Amazon Women on the Moon." Everytime I watch this, I rotfl!!!

The Legend of Billie Jean

"Fair is fair" and Pat Benetar's "Invinsible". Ridiculous, but classic!

OMG I forgot about Summer Rental! I loved John Candy.

Oh yea and the Porky's movies. Of course it was on up into the 90s before I actually saw them. I remember seeing all 3 of them in like one marathon back in college. Those movies were very funny.

The Great Outdoors is another one. I just noticed Can't Buy Me Love is on Netflix.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I know it's a John Hughes movie but I don't think of it as one.

Hot Tub Time Machine is fun for 80s nostalgia.

We all still quote Spaceballs in our family....when the need arises.

My all-time favorite: Streets of Fire, featuring a very young Diane Lane, Bill Paxton, Willam DaFoe, Ed Begley jr, Amy Madigan, Deborah Van Valkenburgh, Olivia Brown and a few others that went on to decent careers.

So do we! You know you have seen a movie too many times when you have practically memorized all the lines "No sir! I did not see you playing with your dolls again!"
