The Shining (1980) (Stanley Kubrick)

Spielberg said he's seen this at least 25 times. I'm going to get there. Endlessly rewatchable. Perfectly constructed.

Videodrome (1983) (David Cronenberg)

Cronenberg's finest work imo. That sweetspot between his early B Movies and the more thoughtful dramas he'd concentrate on further down the line.

Vagabond (1985) (Agnes Vardes)

Ebert summed this s--- up perfectly: "Although many have shared our lives, how many truly know us?" Bonnaire's performance is great as well. It's like a not-coming-of-age movie.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) (John McNaughton)

I feel like I'm one of the few who managed to find sympathy for Henry which made the ending that much more painful.

The Seventh Continent (1989) (Michael Haneke)

The only movie to appear on my 80s and 90s lists (because I f----- up in the other thread). As Slant Magazine referred to him, Haneke is Zeus-on-depressants and this movie will f--- you up harder than that time you watched Requiem for a Dream back in high school.

The Shining
Scarface
Full Metal Jacket
Down By Law
Raising Arizona

Feb 6, 2017

After @Charlie Work made a thread about your Top 5 movies from the 90's I would like to know what your Top 5 movie of the 80's are

My top 5:
Star Wars Episode V
Raging Bull
Scarface
The Shining
Back to the Future

HM: Aliens, Terminator

 

Feb 6, 2017

Once Upon A Time In America, Raging Bull, Full Metal Jacket, Do The Right Thing, The Empire Strikes Back

80s is a weird era for me because I identify more with the less serious genre films like Coming To America, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Die Hard, Goonies, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Princess Bride, Breakfast Club, Beetlejuice, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Of course, Scarface, Platoon, The King of Comedy are great too.
