My ultimate film watchlist (1980s)

1930s-1940s | 1950s | 1960s-1970s | 1990s | 2000s | 2010s

Hello! This is part four of my ultimate film watchlist. To get the full explanation, please see part one until the 1930s-1940s link above. I assume you know what's going on by this point, so let's move on to the list!

The 80s holds a special place in my heart for films, tv, fashion, and beauty. The 80s definitely rivals that of the 50s in terms of quality of writing and filmography. I don't know where I would be if my mom had not been watching Dirty Dancing on our big tv when Patrick Swayze passed away. I don't think I would be so into films the way I am now. Please let me know if you think anything should be added to this list!

Also, I feel it should be said, I have not checked every single film for being soft-core pornography, so please be sure to look at reviews before watching any lesser-known films just to be sure it's appropriate for your viewing experience! If anything is seriously inappropriate, please let me know and I will add a warning or remove it from the list <3

dead poets society — the last thirty minutes killed me. the undertones and quotes are just so beautiful and it just makes the end of the film all the more melancholic.

mother! — i could never imagine what this film felt like to film, it’s so compelling and visually horrifying. jennifer lawrence did such an amazing job, home invasion has never been so terrifying.

robin williams — dead poets society, jack, night at the museum, mrs doubtfire, goodwill hunting, popeye, flubber, jumanji, good morning vietnam

napoleon dynamite — it’s just such a comfort film for me and it never gets old, the comedy, the dialogue, just everything.

the babadook — i was six years old and i remember hiding behind the door watching it because my brother and dad were watching it in the living room and i wasn’t allowed too, loved it ever since.

human centipede — it was a waste of time and wierd asl.

the conjuring series — this isn’t a “sequel” per say but it is a movie that i’m so upset that got taken off of production aka the crooked man which got green lit for production but didn’t make it far — i REALLY wanted to see that movie develop but unfortunately it didn’t.

just kids by patti smith — it would be a WONDERFUL biopic of the earli-ish life of patti smith and her dynamic with robert, given her permission to make the film

saltburn — HEAR ME OUT! this movie is gorgeous from the soundtrack to the dialogue to the menaurisms to the color pallette, fonts EVERYTHING this movie is so aesthetic and just BEAUTIFUL.

wes anderson &. ari aster — they’re films are just utterly magical and beautiful everything from the dialogue to the layout to the production and the characters is SO just BEAUTIFUL

horror & indie/coming of age — those movies are just so amazing and resonate so beautifully

it (2017) — my stepdad made me watch it when i was 8 and i’ve literally loved horror and stephen king and all of that since then

SUPERBAD!!!! — i watched it on a road trip and it was SO funny and I LOVED IT, michael cera & jonah hill are the best comedic duo and i LIVED for this film

take on me (aha) — LIKE????? a girl falls in love with a man in a drawing??? this could go SO many ways!!!

batman (2022) , avatar , raiders of the lost ark — i just didn’t enjoy these films as much as the next person and that’s okay.

meet the robinsons — a lot of my friends and family hate this movie 😓 but i have it 5 stars and a heart on letterboxd

the mamma mia cu — no explanation needed, i would die to live in greece and sing abba all day long

TICK TICK BOOM!!!!!! — I LITERALLY LOVE TICK TICK BOOM, ANDREW GARFIELD, JMM, VANESSA HUDGENS AND ALEXANDRA SHIP DID AN EXCELLENT JOB🤗

both — some mainstreams over overhyped but a lot of them are my comfort movies but indie movies are so pretty and creative

old movies — they shaped how film has developed over several generations and it’s quite magical to see

i could easily easily say pitch perfect or a disney movie or a movie musical or musical biopic butttt like legitimate soundtrack im gonna have to go with fantastic mr fox
