If you were hosting an 80's film night, what films would you choose?

[TheWoodenSpoonOfMischief]

I've got The Lost Boys as one of my choices but need inspiration for a second one please.

secret of my success

Dirty Dancing
St Elmo's Fire
Pretty in Pink
Footloose

Full metal jacket
Lethal weapon
Planes trains and automobiles

Heavenlypink, are you sure? I'm positive I watched it in 89. Bloody loved it.
But, as Sparks knows, I'll have About Last Night.

The sure thing cause its really underrated and funny

We are so predictable ThenLater. Can't beat Rob Lowe's arse.

Oh, you're right Heavenly. It must be because it has an 80s vibe.

Local Hero and Reds are another 2 I love in a non romcom kind of way.

I love Dangeroys Liasons! It's one of my favourite films.
Trading places and Flatliners are fab too. I'd forgotten some of those mentioned.
A pp was right - I need a whole weekend!

9 to 5
Steel magnolias
Best little whorehouse in texas
Smokey and the bandit
Down and out in Beverly hills

Blues Brothers - just so much fun to watch

Adult women (old enough to remember the 80s?) I'd say TopGun or Risky Business to appreciate Tom Cruise at his prettiest.

The Breakfast Club is definitely one of the best, I do have a soft spot for Ferris Bueller but watched it recently and identified too closely with Cameron's Dad and just thought 'I would be so angry if my teenage son destroyed my collector's car' (not that I could ever afford that Ferrari) which kind of ruined the ending.

Its dark, we are wearing sunglasses .....

YY giddy suddenly when you have teenage sons FBDO isn't funny any more.

Clue

If you are in Yorkshire, it has to be Rita, Sue and Bob Too.

Gregory's Girl
The Empire Strikes Back

For Your Eyes Only

I haven't seen The Breakfast Club (or Back To The Future, for that matter). Why is it such a popular choice ?

Desperately Seeking Susan
The Sure Thing

I'm a child of the 80s and suggest:

Ghostbusters
Working Girl
The Princess Bride
The Blues Brothers
Heathers
Gremlins
Back To The Future

yy to heathers and the princess bride.

What about Labyrinth or Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
Stand By Me is probably a bit too much of a downer.

Raging Bull and Scarface are also both 80s films, though perhaps not the right vibe.

I am going to binge watch 80s movies now.

Weird Science
Gremlins
The Dark Crystal
Terminator 1 & 2
