Bernard and the Genie
Nuns on the Run
The Hard Way

PawneeParksDept · 15/09/2018 21:14

I LOVED Bernard and the Genie and it never gets repeated - is there a reason?

I was 9 when the 80s ended so I haven't seen a lot of adult 80s films

Probably

Home Alone
Dirty Dancing
Labyrinth
Goodfellas

Footloose... still love Kevin Bacon.
Pretty in Pink. Andrew McCarthy.....sigh.

St Elmos Fire. Just gets better with age.
Aliens. Just genius.
Flatliners. Such a clever film even though technically it was 1990.

Pawnee I know, it's a travesty!! It's never on. I have a video tape of it but no VCR to play it on any more Sad It was on YouTube in full a couple of years ago, but not sure if it's still there.

Honestly, how hard could it be for them to bring out a digital version? There must be loads of die-hard Bernard fans out there!!

Can I sneak in Flight of the Navigator (1978)?

PawneeParksDept · 15/09/2018 21:52

@PrivateParkin the lack of availability of it ANYWHERE really makes me think something really dodgy that I can't remember that wouldn't be acceptable in this day and age Blush
