Topic #23: 80's movies

Oh man, the '80's hold some of the greatest movies ever. First one that comes to mind is "Ghostbusters" which came out in 1984. Epic movie. I think it would be interesting to see how society would have reacted if that movie first came out now in 2011. People would probably think it was lame, didn't have enough sex in it, and was "blah." Not all people would think that way, but I just don't think this movie would have been as epic had it come out now. Here are other ones that stick out to me:

• "The Blues Brothers" started their mission from God in 1980


• "E.T." came out in 1982 and honestly I was a little scared of E.T.. Kept thinking he would pop out in my own pile of stuffed animals


• The first "Back to the Future" came out in 1985 and started an epic trilogy, or so I hear. haven't actually watched them. I know, I know-it's embarrassing.


• "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" (1987) is another awesome movie. I think that movie is hilarious. Steve Martin and John Candy are great together. Have you seen the new movie "Due Date?" In my opinion, it's a disgusting version of "Planes, Trains & Automobiles." Perfect example of how there seems to have been a shift in society- with sex entering in, inappropriate language, and other "adult themes." I could go on and on about this, but I won't because it will just make me mad.


• "When Harry Met Sally" is one of my favorite movies of all time, and that came out right at the end of the '80's-1989. That's how I want to fall in love- we'll see if it actually happens that way.

In conclusion, 80's movies rock.
