My wife need to see more 80's movies

[haulinshine]

Last weekend my wife and I were looking for something to watch and Predator happened to catch my eye, she had never seen it so we watched it. Now she is enjoying all the cheese filled 80's action films. We watched both predators last weekend, Rambo First Blood on Monday, Commando Wednesday, and Labyrinth last night. There are tons of movies from the 80's I plan to have her watch but I am looking for more suggestions.

So let's hear it what are the best 80's films for me to make my wife watch?

 

[Hickey]

Iron Eagle

 

[mbryson]

Lethal Weapon(s)

Die Hard

Cobra (pretty cheesy but it's Stallone)

The Running Man I actually remember of having a plot but that's 40 years ago so....

Action Jackson

Highlander

Full Metal Jacket

Beverly Hills Cop(s)


Edit: Kind of a fun list here -- https://collider.com/best-action-scenes-2020/

Are you wanting specifically action-type stuff, or other genres also?

Either way, Die Hard should be there. Indiana Jones. Alien. Top Gun.

Other favorites of mine:

Back to the Future. Christmas Vacation. Beetlejuice. The Princess Bride. Batman. And I'll give it an honorary 80's credit even though it was 1990, Tremors.

......and the worst of the worst: Big Trouble in Little China.

there isn't a specific genre. Just want to share with her all the amazing movies I watched as a kid. I might try to get her to watch Road House soon

Lady Hawke, The Princess Bride, The Dark Crystal, Quigly Down Under (1990, but it fits the 80s) are a few off the top of my head
