Blazing saddles

Blazing Saddles! Yes! Except, that was like mid 70's. But still, Blazing Saddles! Yes!

BTW, I have never seen Red Dawn. Maybe I should.

Oh yeah. Great movie!

Is your wife too young to have seen these or did she have a sheltered childhood?

We are the same age and grew up in the 90's. She just never watched 80's movies because they weren't interesting to her before.

Over The Top

I was in Vegas for an arm wrestling competition and saw Stallone pretty up close while part of this was being filmed. I had enjoyed the Rambo stuff and was shocked by what a tiny dude he actually is.

I got beat in the quarter finals by the winner and world champion in my weight class (176-197lbs right hand). Effed up my elbow and quit that shit.

@Gary T actually arm wrestled the guy that the "Over The Top" movie was inspired by (John Brzenk). John came to one of our scout meetings and talked about the movie and the competitions and everything (no idea how the connection was made that got him there though) - even had an arm wrestling table with him. If I remember correctly he was an extra in the movie too.

Let’s not forget three amigos

My Blue Heaven. Another Steve Martin classic.
EDIT: It came out in 1990. Still, classic!

Amadeus
The Final Countdown
BAT*21
Hoosiers (arguably the greatest basketball movie of all time)
Firefox
The Living Daylights (my favorite Bond movie)
WarGames

And if you want to feel really depressed. I've only ever watched these movie once, and they still haunt me:
Testament
The Day After
Threads

Another Steve Martin flick that slipped my mind: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

 

[BlackSheep]

A few 70’s here but they identify as 80’s movies…

White lightning
Gator ( Jerry Reid as the bad guy, classic…)
Smokey and the bandit
Hooper
Cannonball run
Stroker ace

Who are you people and what do you have against Burt…lol

Sharky's Machine is a Classic Burt movie - highly recommended.

I don't think I saw Top Gun mentioned!

A classic which won 3 Oscars when that might have actually meant something:
On Golden Pond.

 

[I Lean]

I need to add to what I said earlier--how could I forget A Fish Called Wanda?

 

[Stephen]

As we continue to get more obscure:

Tender Mercies
Paris, Texas
Murphy's Romance
