Hi all

DH and I are watching movies from when we were kids (1980's). Things like Beverley Hills Cop / Coming to America / Ghostbusters / Die Hard etc. I'm running out of ideas, of what else to watch. Has anyone any idea please?

Thank You

We had the best films. I feel sorry for kids today with just boring old Marvel dominating everything.

@Taddda love the flight of dragons. One of my favourites. Also loved the animated version of Lion Witch and Wardrobe. Can remember the music for both.

The last unicorn is lovely too although a bit older, 70s I think.

Terms of Endearment - one of the best movies of all rime 😢💔.

Withnail and I - hard to believe it was made so long ago as it still feels so relevant.

All That Jazz (1979) and Postcards From The Edge (1991) deserve a viewing even though they don't quite qualify.

Planes Trains and Automobiles and
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for a good uncomplicated laugh

When Harry Met Sally for a classic 80s romcom

LA Story - okay this is 1991, but it's such a romantic film I think it deserves a mention

Hope And Glory - a look at the Blitz through the eyes of a young boy

Anything with Kurt Russell would be a good choice.
