Streets of Fire, with Michael Pare, Welhelm Dafoe and Diane Lang is an unusual yet great flick. Loved the soundtrack too.

Both of these movies are classics, Streets of Fire one of my all time favorites. Diane Lane was only 18 years old but wow, she was unforgettable in her role. Eddie and The Cruisers and The Warriors are a couple more of my favorites. Willem Dafoe made a great villain in Streets of Fire:

Hahah. That movie has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s just fun and a true product of its time.

Just One Of The Guys (1985)

I grew up on this movie. Hilarious with tons of eye candy.

Her rack sneaks up on you, too.

The reveal….

“Where do you get off having tits?!?!”

Yeah, she was PROFOUNDLY hot.

That line is hilarious too. I might spring that one on the wife tonight.

Zabka had some golden lines too.

As I recall, they were spectacular.

Funny how some women have amazing stealth boobs. I used to work with a girl who was pretty but seemingly nothing spectacular. Was around her daily for months. Then we went to a concert one night, and HOLY SHIT. She had a rack that was nothing short of amazing, accentuated by the top she was wearing. Apparently she had a clear work mode and going out on the town mode, and I had no idea. Hair, makeup, everything. She cleaned up into one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen and I'd seen her regularly forever and never had a clue. She must have worn an iron truss to the office every day.

Made a bit of an ass of myself because I couldn't stop staring at her chest. Her boyfriend didn't seem to like it much. Neither did my date.

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (1989)

Saw this in the theaters as a kid. I always liked Rick Moranis.

[Mosbonian]

Weird Science with Kelly LeBrock, Robert Downey JR, Anthony Michael Hall and Bill Paxton....plus Judie Aronson was pretty hot too....

The Original Red Dawn was good too...had a great cast too...

Another mostly forgotten 80s movie is James Cameron's The Abyss. It came out between the much more successful and acclaimed Aliens and Terminator 2, but is a great film in its own right. The early CGI it employed still holds up and was the progenitor for the groundbreaking stuff in T2 and everything else that came later.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend sticking to the theatrical release. The director's cut throws in a brewing war subplot that adds absolutely nothing and detracts from the main story.

And if you ever run into Ed Harris, don't ask him about this movie. Cameron basically tried to drown him multiple times during the movie's production and he apparently had a serious problem with that.

Yea. That movie is amazing. From my understanding they filmed most of the underwater stuff inside an abandoned nuclear plant or something? A big budget sci-fi movie would never be made today with so much practical effects.

For years it wasn't even available on blu-ray. I just checked Amazon, though, and now it is (also 4K).

I might actually have to buy that.

I had nightmares when the submersible went over the edge and then the sound of glass cracking with the pop when it reached crush depth.

Was a great movie!

And I would consider The Abyss, T2 and Jurassic Park as being the films with the biggest effects breakthroughs of the last 35 years. They all made massive digital breakthroughs.
