How good are the first three VHS movies ? I'm currently stuck deciding which ones to watch or to just say fuck it and watch prisoners of ghostland 😂.
the vhs is definitely the best. the hotel room short is horrifying (they made a full movie about that was trash do not recommend but the short is chefs kiss) and the zoom call still fucks me up. the second is hit and miss but the zombie short is the best out of that one in my opinion (it ends real dumb though) and the 3rd one i barely remember other than there’s a short with skateboarders? ghostland is just fucking weird all around but it’s such a fun time. like it’s literally a fever dream acid trip with how much is going on but also not a lot is going on at the same time? i personally loved it (i have it on bluray) and honestly you can skip the 2nd and 3rd vhs movies and just watch the first and ghostland and you’ll have a baller time.

EU study tips
BEFORE YOU START STUDYING
Plan
1. You have to be clear about how you are going to use the time. The first thing is to plan and decide what you are going to learn and how much time you are going to spend.
2. You should study as much as you need without leaving a subject or problem half-way through, so that you can study a different subject. Otherwise, what you learn will be so confusing that it will be the same as not having studied at all.
3. Make a list of all the activities you will do that afternoon. It's a good idea to have a daily study schedule, but one that is realistic, given your abilities.
4. Arrange the activities. Which one should you start with? Some experts advise starting with what is easiest for you, to encourage you to keep studying. Others say it's better to start with the difficult subjects, and get them out of the way as soon as possible. You choose, based on your own experience.
5. The schedule should be flexible and prepared for the unexpected. It will help you not to accumulate backlogs.
6. Don't forget to include time for rest and leisure in your schedule.
NOTES
Take note of what matters
7. When taking notes, try to listen to everything the teacher says.
8. Stand close, as you will be in a better position to see and hear.
9. You should pay close attention at the beginning of the class. This is the moment when the teacher gives a general idea of the subject.
10. Adopt a good posture in the chair. It will make it easier for you to attend and therefore understand the class.
11. While you are taking notes, you should discover which ideas are main, secondary or anecdotal.
12. If the teacher says something is very important, highlight it. It's very possible that you'll fail the exam.
13. Leave space or margin for later notes.
14. If there is something in the explanation that you didn't catch, leave a space to complete it at the end of the class.
IN FORM
Mens sana in corpore sano
15. To study well, it is as important to be in good physical condition as it is psychic.
16. A balanced diet is recommended, rich in phosphorus, calcium and vitamins: vegetables, fish, milk, eggs and fruits. Remember that food is your gasoline.
17. Do not overdo it with copious meals. A heavy stomach will prevent you from studying.
18. It is advisable to eat small amounts, but several times a day.
19. Sleep between 7 and 9 hours. Rest is essential to study.
20. If you are one of those who are stressed and want to guarantee a peaceful sleep, take a warm bath before dinner or bed.
21. Deep breathing exercises are also relaxing.
22. Regular physical exercise is another good practice against stress.
23. Stimulants should not be taken for study purposes. Caffeine-rich drinks, such as coffee or cola, can make you nervous and have the opposite effect to what you want.
THE SCHEDULE
Get organized!
24. Get used to having a fixed study schedule.
25. Take 5-10 minute breaks every hour.
26. It is recommended to study from Monday to Saturday from 2 to 3 hours a day.
27. Manage your study time well. Time is difficult to control and is easily wasted on unproductive and aimless tasks.
28. Use Sundays for leisure and hobbies.
29. Don't leave studying to the last minute. Haste does not help learning. Start preparing for the exams from the beginning of the course.
PLACE OF STUDY
Everything in its place
30. Always study in the same room. It will help you concentrate.
31. The study place should be airy and well ventilated.
32. There has to be an adequate temperature. Not too cold, not too hot.
33. Study in a room without noise. In any case, soft music.
34. Make sure there are no distractions such as television, radio, games, cell phone or table decorations.
35. The work table should have all the necessary material for study.
36. The light should preferably be natural, if not white or blue. It should come from the side opposite to the hand with which you write.
37. It is advisable to use a light bulb with a blue 60W bulb. In the rest of the room a dim light.
38. The table and chair should be in line with your height.
39. The chair should be comfortable, but not too comfortable and with a backrest.
40. The trunk should be stretched out and the back should be supported by the back of the chair.
41. You should be about 30 centimeters from your notes or study book.
THE TIME OF STUDY
It's time to study
42. It's important to be determined when it comes to studying. You have to be aware that it is a job that has to be done and it is better to do it with desire and joy.
43. First look at the lesson.
41. Separate the parts that make up the topic.
44. Look at the drawings and graphics.
45. Try to relate that topic to previously acquired knowledge.
46. Make an initial synthesis of the topic.
UNDERLINED
Highlight what's important
47. Try to understand the subject before you start to underline.
48. The underlining is a critical selection. You must highlight the main ideas.
49. Underlining must make complete sense.
50. Underline the main ideas with red or double line.
51. Underline with blue or single line the secondary ideas, examples and data.
52. It is not advisable to use more than two colors.
53. A vertical line in the margin means that the whole paragraph is marked.
54. Other signs that you can use are rounding, for numbering or classification; box, for statements, name or key dates; question mark, when there are indications of error; exclamation mark, to check a statement; period, when you have to complete other readings
55. It is advisable to underline between 25 and 30% of the text.
DIAGRAM
Organize the ideas
56. Arrange in a logical way the main and secondary ideas underlined.
57. Classify them according to your criteria.
58. Use your own words. It will be easier to memorize later.
59. First of all, be brief, short, precise and clear sentences.
60. Try to say everything important in the least amount of space possible.
61. The outline should have a clean presentation.
62. You can use the symbol of the arrows as a link
63. You must make a title that summarizes the content.
64. Divide the subject into three or four sections that collect several main ideas and that hang the secondary ones.
65. Leave spaces in the margins for later notes.
66. Use the same indent for the same sections.
67. There are several kinds of diagrams: numerical (number only), mixed (Roman numerals, upper and lower case letters, numbers...) and the synoptic table (of graphs or keys).
68. Use the synoptic table for dates, names, quantities...
SUMMARY
Keep it short
69. This is usually done after the underlining and study of the subject.
70. It should be done by trying not to look at the notes.
71. It should be brief but with all the main ideas.
72. Then you must read it carefully with the original text to complete what is missing.
REVIEW
Ensures that what is learned
73. It consists in mentally repeating the main ideas of the underlining or outline.
74. This should be done with the books closed and notes put aside.
75. It should be checked with the notes.
76. This step must be repeated until the outline is memorized and you are sure that you know the subject.
77. It is recommended to carry out all the good practices that we have commented on. Last-minute binges do not work. You must use your memory in the days before the exam, mainly to memorize the schemes.
REST
Recharge batteries
78. When it's time to rest, leave the room where you study. Relax, eat something, talk to someone, take a walk, or do anything else that is not related to studying. In this way, you will avoid mental fatigue.
EXAM
The moment of truth
79. It is important to go in good physical and mental condition.
80. Get a good night's rest. Get at least six hours of sleep.
81. Go with all the necessary material.
82. Before the exam, take a few minutes to relax: take a deep breath, close your eyes... It will help you control the natural nerves at the beginning of the exam.
83. Always listen to your teacher's instructions before and during the exam. They are important.
84. Take an overview of the exam to organize your time.
85. Spread out your time and questions.
86. If you see a question you don't know, don't be nervous. Save it for last.
86. Ask the questions you know best first.
87. It is important to take into account what kind of exam you are going to have (development, test type...) and what the teacher wants (conciseness, clarity...)
89. Read the questions carefully to find out exactly what they ask.
90. Remember to highlight in your exam what the teacher has highlighted in class.
91. Answer the question. Don't leave by the hills of Úbeda.
92. To do developmental exams: outline the points you want to cover on a separate sheet of paper.
93. Don't answer like a telegram, and don't roll up too much.
94. Review the entire test before handing it in, noting spelling mistakes, omissions, essays. It is just as important to know as it is to look like you know, and teachers take this into account when scoring.
95. Check the back for more questions. You wouldn't be the first one who, in a hurry and nervous, leaves a question he knows unanswered, simply because he hasn't seen it.
96. Take care of the cleanliness, the handwriting and the presentation. It is essential that the teacher understands you.
WHAT IF, AFTER ALL, I FAIL?
98. Don't worry, you can learn from your failures too. Reflect and try to find the reasons why it happened.
99. If it was your nerves that played a trick on you, you know, practice relaxation techniques and put away the exciting drinks.
100. If the reason for your failure was that you didn't study enough or in the right way, plan better and start studying now for your next exams. Take into account what you failed at, so that you don't fail again, and use these tips when you get lost.

99 Truths, 1 Lie. (My Junior Year)
Before ya go through this and guess the lie, I gotta say that there’s some stuff in here that might make you uncomfortable. Here’s ya warning. Anyway, here we go:
1. Junior year of college was the most tumultuous
2. For every incredibly wonderful day, I felt like I had 2x as many days feeling depressed and alone.
3. But I gotta say, living in a house with some of my coolest friends was super fun.
4. I just hoped that I didn’t “die” at some of the parties, y’know?
5. I’m still learning my “tolerance” lol
6. I don’t like those sugar-y alcohols.
7. They’re tolerable, but they always make me sick.
8. Speaking of which, there’s some things you probably wouldn’t even believe.
9. Almost like that’s the point of this whole “99 Truths, 1 Lie” game, huh?
10. There was a time where I got addicted to nicotine
11. I brought my vape wherever I’d go, cause I liked that buzz it gave me
12. I also used Tinder/Bumble much more often this year
13. I never thought I’d use it considering how much I don’t like dating apps (see “The Incident”)
14. But I gave it a try because of how desperate I was to have company
15. It sorta worked? Depending on how you’d define “worked”.
16. I met a few people off of it. It was awkward every time.
17. The first person I met didn’t even live around UIUC
18. They also assumed we were an official couple after meeting up once.
19. That ended fairly messy.
20. I did end up getting in a short relationship with someone from Tinder.
21. Again, she lived nowhere near UIUC.
22. Our first meetup ever was in a dark forest, at midnight, during the Winter.
23. Some people have told me that was a terrible idea.
24. I have to agree, but what’s the worst that could happen?
25. The possibility of disappearing without a trace? Yeah. Probably.
26. Erm, okay, the following is gonna sound like a total humblebrag, but hear me out:
27. Usually, people would love getting a lot of matches on these dating apps
28. Lately, I’ve been feeling very stressed talking to too many people at once.
29. As I said, humblebrag
29. Xander Mobus is the voice of the announcer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
30. But here’s the thing: I don’t consider myself to be an introvert
31. Yet, I’m not a complete extrovert either.
32. At the moment, I’m thinking of two people who I’m totally extroverted with
33. Every time I’d hang with them, I crack jokes and can always do comedic “bits” that they can easily play off of.
34. At the same time, I feel like a literal “fool”
35. There was a time in high school where my friends considered me to be the “super sarcastic” type
36. Secretly, I hated it because that makes me sound like an buttface.
37. Makes me think I’m this one dude you could never have a serious conversation with.
38. I’ll always be a joke to everyone.
39. I changed that once I got to college.
40. Instead of being overly sarcastic, I tried being more extroverted and lively
41. It worked for a bit, especially in my sophomore year here
42. And now... I don’t even know what I am anymore
43. Referring to #32, I now get the feeling that I’m super annoying to both of them now.
44. I get this feeling that they no longer enjoy hanging out with me
45. I’m always concerned with how people see me
46. Strangers, close friends, family. I hope they have a good image of me in their minds.
47. Yet, I can only convince myself that I’ve got no friends anymore
48. Of course, ^that’s not true. I do have people that care about me.
49. But seeing a psychologist multiple times in the last year made the following statement true:
50. I’m in a bad headspace, and my mind is crumbling
51. I saw a social worker over summer 2018
52. It helped, but as soon as I got back for junior year, I was falling apart
53. At one point first semester, I did something that I highly warn all of you to definitely not make the same mistake I did
54. I went for a walk by myself
55. at night
56. with my headphones in
57. I ended up getting followed on my way back home by some random person
58. and I didn’t even notice until much after he started following me
59. That incident really fucked me up for some time
60. But that’s not the mistake I’m talking about
61. The real mistake is walking alone, in the dark, with headphones on for a second time
62. The reason why I did that was because I did something I never saw myself doing ever
63. I hurt myself
64. Right after it happened, I fled my house
65. I was disappointed in myself
66. I was mad at myself
67. I was at my lowest point
68. I walked with no destination in mind
69. Luckily, a very nice friend helped me out, talked with me, comforted me, and I’m forever grateful they were there for me.
70. That’s what lead me to see a psychologist while I was here.
71. That’s all I’ll say on that topic
72. Here’s something completely different: I’ve “intoxicated myself herbally” multiple times
73. A lot of times, at this point. To the point where I can’t even recall how many times I’ve done it.
74. In fact, a roommate said “when is he not high?”
75. It was a bit chilling to hear
76. I’ve also “earned” the title of “smoker of the house” by my roommates
77. On the other hand, I keep notes every time I get “herbally intoxicated”
78. I think most people think it’s weird
79. But I like to use it as a sort of... diary? or journal?
80. I think it’s funny, and memorable. At least most of the time.
81. I also sometimes write letters to people while I’m “herbally intoxicated”
82. Most of the time, it’s so that I can tell them how cool they are and how happy I am that I met them. Sound familiar? You should ask me if I have any letters for you.
83. Anyway, the following statement is a short excerpt from 4/20:
84. “Took a shower, bought I was in there longer. Shower was only 10 minutes. The future was going in slow motion. Like a light bulb memory. Maybe a flash bulb? Listened to Angel Olsen. Felt like I was flying. Time was slow. It felt nice.”
85. If I didn’t believe in parallel universes before, I definitely do now.
86. However, I definitely need to start limiting how often I “herbally intoxicate” myself.
87. Especially considering I am completely fine doing it on my own now.
88. That’s a bit worrisome to me as well.
89. Other than that, I have one more thing that I want to share.
90. It’s something that I have rarely told people because I am afraid as to how they’ll react
91. Like they won’t believe me
92. Or that I’m only “doing it for attention”
93. I have been questioning its “veracity” almost everyday
94. The only reason I’m sharing it is because I was inspired by another person who told me they did the same thing.
95. Although most of everything I’ve said has been true, the main goal was to hit 100 here
96. And I definitely will
97. Even now, I’m going to write the last thing in such a way that most people still won’t know
98. First letters of 93-82 79-90-46-97-29-27-96-91
99. Now it’s out there
100. I don’t wanna thank you for going through this entire list of 99 truths, 1 lie. Please lemme know when ya get here so I can send you a funny meme. Or a song recommendation. I dunno something cool. See ya, and hope ya have a good day. ❀

108.)  If you had $1 billion and you had to spend it in exactly one week, what would you spend it on? A big house, cars, and as much stuff as I could think of. The rest goes into a bank account. Actually, all of it goes into a bank account
109.) What is the best thing you’ve ever eaten? Those store-bought sugar cookies. There's probably something else but I'm blanking. I've had good sushi before though.
110.) If you could go on a trip around the world with up to three people, who would you bring (they can be people you know personally or famous people). My friend Connor, one celebrity he wants and one I want. Maybe John Mulaney? He's super funny.
111.) What expletive/ explicit phrase do you say most often? Probably hell. The other two main ones make it in a lot too though
112.) What is your personal definition of success? Being happy with where you are in life or your job or whatever, not needing to be further than you are
113.) How was your day today? It's been pretty okay, actually. Nothing tragic has happened yet lol
114.) What is the closest Big City you live by? I'm gonna go BIG city because privacy so of the main four (LA, NYC, Houston, Orlando) in the USA, New York City
115.) Have you ever been in a car accident? No but I hit my mom's car backing out of the driveway and scratched off some paint and dented my car a bit (whoops)
116.) Do you hide anything from your parents? Everything on my phone. Everything.
117.) If you could possess one talent, what would you be able to do? Is having a good memory a talent? Because I want a really good memory. And art abilities.
118.) Ugly and smart or beautiful and stupid? Ugly and smart lol
119.) What is the worst thing you’ve ever seen in real life? When we took a trip to South Carolina there was a massive, 3 inch long spider whose web was next to the front door. I cried.
120.) Use only 3 words to describe how you want your future to go. Happy, rich-ish, comfortable
121.) QUICK! give me a few things a brick could be useful for! Throwing at somebody's head and killing them (wtf me)
122.) If you could make a dream society, describe it in great detail where it would be, who would be in it, and what rules there would be? No discrimination, no crime, everyone happy and nice
123.) If you could make any animal miniature, what would you make and why? A dog because my dog is looking at me right now like she wants a miniature her
124.) What are your favorite candle scents? I don’t use candles, my mom hates open flames. I have burned some vanilla tea candled though
125.) If you HAD to have one plastic surgery, what would you get and why? The bridge of my nose, I'm self-conscious about it because it's lower than it should be as a result of many, many years of glasses. I usually wear contacts now though.
126.) Do you prefer to hang out with the same sex or the opposite sex? I mostly hang out with my same sex friends for long periods and my opposite sex friends for shorter periods. I would have to say opposite ex friends because I'm closer to them.
127.) If you could make a charity, what would the profits go towards? How would you raise money for it? The money would go towards lgbt+ kids and supporting them, especially if they don't get support from their parents or can't tell them. I would raise money through online advertising on sites like Tumblr and Instagram because they tend to have higher lgbt+ populations. Also through popular Youtuber donations if possible.
128.) Describe the body you wish you had. Skinnier, a better smile, less facial hair, blue or green eyes.
129.) If you were a famous director, what would your next movie be about? Describe the plot, characters, and possible title. Something soulmates and m/m. A romance movie, but they're meant to be together because of something (tattoos, colors, etc). They meet and both like each other, but it's only when they realize they're soulmates they confess and fall in love and it's the happy, fluffy masterpiece all Tumblr kids wish existed. (Call Me By Your Name got pretty far though)
130.) If only women were to rule the world, how different would the world be by 2050? More equality, male supremacy protests, everything would probably be better tbh.
131.) What is your favorite alcoholic drink? I'm 16
132.) Do you have a problematic friend? YES and she's not my friend anymore
133.) Are you more spontaneous or more of a planner? Both at the worst moments. I'll plan out my day (which won't work out) and be spontaneous when it comes to tests: "Crap I forgot about that I'll study the bell before" which sometimes actually manages to work.
134.) If you could change your full name, what would your name be? Something with more meaning and better initials
135.) What is one song that describes your life? The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars (there are probably better ones but eh)
136.) What is one show you’ve been meaning to watch but can never find the time for? I've been halfway through Pokemon: XY for over a month
137.) Do you find it easy to drop toxic people from your life that you’ve known for a long time? It depends. If I see them a lot, no. Once I stop seeing someone irl it's too easy for me to drop someone. If they do something really bad and all my friends feel that way then it's super easy
138.) Do you like children? Why or why not? In general yes but I don't want to be around them 24/7 (aka why I like being home alone without my three younger siblings)
139.) What is your zodiac sign? Taurus
140.) Do you like to dance? Do you dance often? In front of other people? No I suck at dancing, but I do rock out to music
141.) Name some of your favorite colors. Grey, black, purple, blue
142.) Have you ever shoplifted? If so, what was it? I've thought about it but no, I haven't
143.) If you could speak three additional languages, what would they be? Spanish, French and some random language I can surprise people with. Like Dutch or something.
144.) Have you ever been in legal trouble? Nope! I'm an innocent child
145.) Have you ever had surgery? No and I hope I never have to
146.) If you could change 2 things about yourself, what would you change and why? My smile and my motivation levels. Smile bc it looks terrible and motivation because I actually need to get stuff done sometimes. And mental health.
147.) What do you want done with your body after you die? Cremation, I guess. I don't want to become a firework or anything
148.) What three physical features do people compliment you most on? What do they say about them? I don't really get compliments; my mom likes my hair though. It's wavy after I shower
149.) If you could have your own business, what would you do? Make things for lazy people that people are surprised that they needed (but actually do need)
150.) What current friend do you have that you’ve known the longest? My friend Amanda, since the start of 6th grade. We're going on 5 years now!

Introduction to TOEFL Speaking Topics
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An Introduction to TOEFL Speaking Topics The TOEFL Speaking section lasts 20 minutes and includes six tasks. You’ll be able to take notes during this entire section. In TOEFL Speaking, there are two independent speaking tasks and four integrated tasks. For integrated tasks, test-takers will need to use more than one skill when responding. Also, it’s important to know that you won’t be speaking to a real person during this section. Instead, you’ll hear recorded conversations and respond by speaking into a microphone. After your exam, TOEFL graders will then listen to your responses. This section tests your ability to speak effectively in academic settings. You’ll be graded on how completely you answer each question, your ability to speak clearly and coherently, and your vocabulary and grammar. How to Approach the Tasks The two independent speaking questions will ask a question on a familiar topic you can speak about without the help of outside materials. You’ll be giving your opinion or describing the information you know. Many students find these two to be the least challenging of the Speaking tasks, but that doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed to be easy or that you can just talk about whatever you want. The most important part of these questions is the “why”. You’ll always be asked to support your answer, whether by explaining why you feel a certain way or by giving examples that justify your answer. The key to answering these questions well is to give specific examples and details to support your main idea. Don’t be vague or wishy-washy with your answers; make a strong argument for your opinion and let the grader know exactly why you feel the way you do. Question and Answer Samples 1: Describe a place you have never been to but like to go someday. 2: If your friends from another country are going to visit your country, where do you suggest them to go? 3: What are the significant features of the cafe or restaurant you like 4: Do you think we should keep or save the old building in the city? 5: Describe a place, for example, a seashore park in your city where you often visit. 6: Describe an important gift you have, tell us why it is important. 7: Did you have any work experiences before?

The Top 100 Movies of the 1980s
Tumblr media
Ah, the 80s. In terms of art, they were a time of boundless creativity, where it seemed like artists would put any crazy idea out there just to see what stuck. As a result, we got lots of crap... but we also got a whole lot of awesome, memorable, and iconic movies.
This was the decade where fantasy really got big, with unique fantasy films coming out all the time. Sci-fi and horror as well had a good decade, with the latter genre churning out all manner of quirky slasher films in which supernatural madmen killed. Stephen King movies had a good run as well, kicking off the decade with The Shining and getting some other good to great movies along the way. Animation produced a lot of quirky, niche films that only later found the devoted audiences they deserved, but it also put out the film that would launch an animated Renaissance in the next decade. And of course, the 80s truly belonged to one man: Arnold Schwarzenegger, who put out everything from action classics to hilarious comedies to cult classic films.
But that’s enough history; let’s get right on in to the list:
100. Heavy Metal
Tumblr media
1981
Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, titties, sex, and awesome music all come together in this fascinating cult classic that loosely strings together a bunch of vignettes that exist solely to show off badass, mindlessly awesome sci-fi and fantasy adventures. It’s one of the most awesome and underrated animated films ever made for sure.
99. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banazai Across the 8th Dimension
Tumblr media
1984
One of the strangest films ever, this one is especially notable for having a surprisingly star-studded cast which includes Peter Wellers, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, and Clancy Brown. It’s a pretty fun sci-fi story too, that asks the REAL questions, like
 what’s that watermelon over there for?
98. The Toxic Avenger
Tumblr media
1984
Did Troma realize what they were unleashing upon the world when they made this? This epic, trashy revenge film about a janitor dipped in toxic waste due to a mean prank cleaning up crime in his shithole of a town is as awesomely ridiculous as the title implies.
97. The Living Daylights
Tumblr media
1987
And they say there were no good Bond films in the 80s! Timothy Dalton’s first outing is rather excellent, and features an awesome scene in which the villain Necros disguised as a milkman lays waste to a house. License to Kill was great too, but this one just has a bit of an edge, mostly thanks to a-Ha’s awesome theme song.
96. The Great Mouse Detective
Tumblr media
1986
Disney released a Sherlock Holmes-esque film with mice, and it is perhaps one of their most underrated classics. Aside from the excellent Holmesian mystery story, you have an incredibly risque song number from a stripper mouse and Vincent Price devouring the scenery as an incredibly hammy villain. What’s not to love here?
95. The Dark Crystal
Tumblr media
1982
One of the boldest, most daring fantasy films of the 80s, this is some of Jim Henson’s finest work, no doubt. The story may be clichĂ©, but the excellent worldbuilding, puppets, and overall design of everything more than makes up for the flaws.
94. The Return of the Living Dead
Tumblr media
1985
Horror and comedy come together in this homage to Romero’s zombie films. Not only does this movie feature the iconic zombie Tarman, it is also responsible for popularizing zombies craving brains in pop culture. Zombie cinema owes this movie quite a debt of gratitude.
93. Fatal Attraction
Tumblr media
1987
Some parts of this movie have not aged particularly well, particularly that slasher film-esque ending
 the rest of it though? Still excellent, gripping, and dark. Alex Forrest is a disturbing villain for the ages, a woman scorned who takes her vengeance much, MUCH too far.
92. They Live!
Tumblr media
1988
This film is a brilliant satire of Reagonomics featuring one of the greatest fistfight brawls in cinematic history, and yet it will always be known best for that one, single line: “I am here to chew bubblegum and kick ass
 and I’m all out of bubblegum.” And you know what? That’s ok.
91. The Lost Boys
Tumblr media
1987
80s vampire movies don’t get much better than this one, one of the rare well-received films by Joel Schumacher. It has the style, the fashion, the Coreys! It’s the peak of 80s vampirism for sure.
90. Mystics in Bali
Tumblr media
1981
This film is incredibly, insanely awesome, a complete and utter mindfuck. It’s basically what happens if you made a kung-fu movie except you replaced the kung-fu with witches and vampiric flying heads whose entrails dangle out their neck hole. This is one of the most batshit movies ever made, and deserves more respect.
89. Dirty Dancing
Tumblr media
1987
I’d be remiss to not mention Baby and how no one should put her in a corner, but this movie has more going for it than just that, like an excellent soundtrack and an incredibly dreamy Patrick Swayze. Sure it’s a bit cheesy, but it really just adds to the charm of the film.
88. Twins
Tumblr media
1988
Whoever would have guessed that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito would have such excellent onscreen comedic chemistry? More importantly, who could have ever guessed that they could convincingly and endearingly play twins?! Arnold and Danny made quite a few films together, but this one is definitely the best of the bunch, and easily one of Arnold’s best comedy outings.
87. The Adventures of Mark Twain
Tumblr media
1985
This is a pretty dark story for a family film, what with it essentially being a man’s journey to commit suicide (that man being Mark Twain). Interspersed with vignette adaptations of his stories, including a scene based off of The Mysterious Stranger that is easily one of the most unsettling sequences of animation ever created, this is an underrated masterpiece.
86. Commando
Tumblr media
1985
Somehow, some way, they managed to make an action movie that distilled everything amazing about Arnold Schwarzenegger action films together into one movie. It has one-liners, it has brutal kills, it has Arnold singlehandedly slaughtering his way through armies of goons, it has dozens of lines you can quote
 this is a love letter to Arnold movies, starring the man himself.
85. The Last Dragon
Tumblr media
1985
Blaxploitation and kung-fu go together like peanut butter and jelly; throw in some weird hokey mysticism and a gargantuan portion of cheese, and you have a cult classic on your hands. Throw in a villain as awesome and memorable as Sho’Nuff, and you have a gem for the ages.
84. UHF
Tumblr media
1989
Weird Al only ever starred in one movie, but boy did he make that one movie count. This film is an excellent showcase of his odd, wacky sense of humor, and even then it still has a solid story to carry the jokes along.
83. Creepshow
Tumblr media
1982
Horror legends Stephen King and George Romero teamed up with special effects wiz Tom Savini and paid tribute to old school horror comics of the 50s with this masterful string of short stories. Standouts include Something to Tide You Over featuring a shockingly terrifying turn by Leslie Neilsen, The Lonesome Death of Jody Verrill which has Stephen King himself in the titular role, and best of all The Crate, which is about the titular object
 or, well, what’s inside it. All this adds together to make the best horror anthology film ever made.
82. Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Tumblr media
1988
Step aside, Pennywise! Here comes a whole gang of man-eating clowns from the stars! In an homage to B-grade monster movies of the past, particularly The Blob, at that! Keeping the spirit of the old-school monster movie alive is an easy way to win me over, and doing it with tongue firmly in cheek? Well, that’s just icing on the cake!
81. Bad Taste
Tumblr media
1987
Peter Jackson’s early work all truly lives up to the title of this film, but this one takes the cake, or perhaps the barfed-up bowl of goo. With all the gore and nastiness, this is one of the trashiest, most awesome sci-fi films ever inflicted upon this Earth.
80. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Tumblr media
1988
Terry Gilliam’s charming flight of fancy is just as creative as his other 80s works, and honestly? It’s probably my personal favorite. Where else can you see an uncredited Robin Williams as king of the moon, or a young Uma Thurman as Aphrodite herself? Or the Grim Reaper in what might be its most horrifying cinematic interpretation ever?
79. The Land Before Time
Tumblr media
1988
You wouldn’t think a film about dinosaur children journeying across the land could be so dark and gripping, but, well, here we are. This is one of the strangest coming-of-age films ever made
 and also one of the best.
78. The Running Man
Tumblr media
1987
Yet another Arnold classic, this one actually tackles some deeper themes beneath the cheesy 80s action, such as the glorification of violence in media and how the media loves to distort and twist the truth. This was years before reality TV mind you, and yet it was disturbingly accurate. And they say Arnold’s movies can’t be deep!
77. Clue
Tumblr media
1985
Anyone who tells you “X is a stupid idea for a movie, it could never work!” is a fucking idiot, because in 1985 they managed to make an excellent screwball comedic mystery out of a popular board game
 and it was magnificent! Getting folks like Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, and Christopher Lloyd involved definitely helped.
76. Lethal Weapon
Tumblr media
1987
I think it’s safe to say nearly every buddy cop movie after this one took a page from its book. This is a hugely influential movie, and thankfully it’s really damn good even looking back, giving us one of Mel Gibson’s best performances ever.
75. Christine
Tumblr media
1983
What can I say? I love movies about killer cars. John Carpenter did a really good job at making the titular car as badass and menacing as possible, and it stands tall as one of the best films based off of Stephen King’s work.
74. The Brave Little Toaster
Tumblr media
1987
Long before Toy Story 3, there was this film, which has a very similar plot, right down to the ending (which is no surprise as many people who worked on this went on to Pixar). With a charming and likable cast and several scenes that range from amusingly strange to nightmarishly memorable, this is one hell of a family film.
73. The Dead Zone
Tumblr media
1983
Christopher Walken stars in this supernatural thriller based on a work by Stephen King, proving the 80s were probably one of the best times to be a Stephen King adaptation, because damn this is one hell of a film. Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen turn in fantastic performances in this one, highlights of their careers even.
72. The Untouchables
Tumblr media
1987
While it is a somewhat fictionalized and dramatized account, there is no denying Brian De Palma managed to make the tale of Al Capone’s takedown as stylish and cool as you’d hope the story of the legendary gangster’s defeat would be.
71. The Killer
Tumblr media
1989
This is without a doubt one of the finest films John Woo ever made. The action is incredible, the story is incredible, and it all culminates in a shootout at (where else?) a church. This is pure, classic, undiluted Woo right here.
70. Beetlejuice
Tumblr media
1988
Michael Keaton portrays the ghost with the most, the titular spirit, with so much personality that it makes it nearly impossible to hate this film. It does help the other main characters have a lot of heart and charm to counteract his hilariously douchey antics, though.
69. Re-Animator
Tumblr media
1985
Sci-fi and zombies collide in this H. P. Lovecraft adaptation. Jeffery Combs really makes the movie with his stellar performance as Herbert West. This is also probably the only movie where you can see a severed head try and perform cunnilingus on a young woman, so there’s that too.
68. The Name of the Rose
Tumblr media
1986
What a strange concept: a detective story, except with a friar doing the investigating in an abbey in the Middle Ages. And yet, it somehow works really well, not in the least bit due to Sean Connery’s excellent performance.
67. Pumpkinhead
Tumblr media
1988
One of the best overlooked horror films of the 80s, this is a rather unique demonic horror film. Lance Henriksen turns in a wonderful performance, but the real star here is special effects legend Stan Winston’s awesome creation, the titular monster. This is one hell of a directorial debut, I gotta say.
66. Caddyshack
Tumblr media
1980
This is easily one of the best sports films and one of the funniest comedies ever made. Comedy legends like Chevy Chase and Bill Murray turn in excellent and hilarious performances, but as I’m sure you know it’s Rodney Dangerfield who’s busting everyone’s guts with his antics.
65. An American Werewolf in London
Tumblr media
1981
This movie is pretty good as a horror film with comedic elements, but there’s no doubt it is most notable for the incredible special effects work from Rick Baker. And if that doesn’t tell you enough about this movie’s quality, Michael Jackson specifically sought out director John Landis and Baker to help him make the music video for “Thriller” solely because of this film.
64. Blow Out
Tumblr media
1981
John Travolta stars in this fascinating thriller about a movie sound recordist who accidentally picks up proof that a supposed accident is murder while recording sounds. Dark, gritty, and as thrilling as a good thriller should be, this is one of Travolta’s and director Brian De Palma’s best films, hands down.
63. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Tumblr media
1986
Damn, how is this perennial classic about the ultimate lovable slacker so low? Well, mostly because I kinda find Ferris to be a manipulative douchebag who manages to get away with everything by taking advantage of the good graces of others. But do my feelings toward the titular character change the fact this is a charming work of 80s genius? Nope!
62. The NeverEnding Story
Tumblr media
1984
The 80s were a wonderful time for unique and creative fantasy films, and not many were as creative as this one, which has impressive puppet work, incredible designs for the sets and strange beings that populated the world, and a somewhat cheesy but charming and exciting story populated with likable characters.
61. Big
Tumblr media
1988
This is a movie that just oozes charm. Part of it is due to it being one of the most lowkey fantasy films of the 80s; the other part comes with it being a unique take on the coming-of-age story. But let’s be honest: most of it comes from the living embodiment of charm himself, Tom Hanks.
60. Return to Oz
Tumblr media
1985
This movie has a lot going against it, seeing as it’s something of a sequel to a beloved classic. But instead of going for the colorful and cheerful route of the original (with moments of darkness) this movie goes in the opposite route, with moments of cheerful quirkiness surrounded by some truly unnerving and dark content, such as a witch who steals people’s heads. In all honesty, this makes the film, in a lot of ways, better than The Wizard of Oz.
59. Stand By Me
Tumblr media
1986
Many see this as one of the greatest coming-of-age films, and one of the greatest Stephen King movies ever made. And on both fronts, it’s easy to agree. Four boys walking down the train tracks together
 is there a more iconic image in the history of coming-of-age films?
58. Ladyhawke
Tumblr media
1988
A forgotten fantasy masterpiece of the late 80s, it features Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer as star-crossed lovers, with Hauer turning to a wolf by night and Pfeiffer becoming a hawk by day. This is a creative and unique fantasy romance that definitely deserves more exposure than it got.
57. Willow
Tumblr media
1988
What if George Lucas made Lord of the Rings? You’d probably get something like this, which features a story written by him, a story which despite the 80s fantasy cheesiness resonates with all the charm of the early Star Wars films and even featuring one of the franchise’s stars – Warwick Davis, AKA Wicket the Ewok.
56. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Tumblr media
1989
While it is something of a formulaic Indy film, it’s also the single best sequel of the series. Who isn’t a sucker for Arthurian legend, Christian mythology, and Sean Connery fighting Nazis? People you don’t want to spend time around, that’s who.
55. Brazil
Tumblr media
1985
This is Terry Gilliam’s magnum opus, a sci-fi masterpiece with a similar dystopia to 1984. The difference here is that there’s a bit more dark comedy – not surprising since Gilliam is a Monty Python alum. Despite being fucked up by executive meddling originally, these days it has become hailed as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time and a cult classic for the ages. Hard to disagree with that.
54. The Karate Kid
Tumblr media
1984
Of course this would be on here. This is one of those beloved classics that has to be on every great 80s film list, in no small part due to Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi and the epic motivational jam “You’re the Best.”
53. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Tumblr media
1988
From the hilarious opening and the creative opening credits to Leslie Neilsen’s hilariously deadpan performance to all the clever jokes, slapstick, and visual gags, this is one of the funniest works in Neilsen’s career, and even in cinema as a whole.
52. The Little Mermaid
Tumblr media
1989
Disney was in a dark, troubled time in the 80s
 and then this film came along and kickstarted their 90s  Renaissance era with a bang. Unforgettable songs, an entertaining villain, and one of Disney’s most charming main characters (so charming she doesn’t even need to speak!), The Little Mermaid easily stands the test of time, though it isn’t quite as good as some later Disney films.
51. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures
Tumblr media
1989
One of Keanu Reeves’ earliest films, this is the story of two lovable doofuses and their journey through time to meet some of history’s greatest mind. Filled with laughs and charm, this is to this day one of Reeves’ best and most enjoyable films. It helps to have George Carlin in your movie.
50. Jason Lives: Frday the 13th Part VI
Tumblr media
1986
There were five films before this of varying quality, with the first being a horror milestone, but it’s pretty hard to deny that part six is the best of the bunch. It brings Jason back as a zombie, it adds in some humorous and tongue-in-cheek elements, and most importantly it has Alice Cooper popping out a badass villain theme song for Jason. This is where the series peaked.
49. Big Trouble in Little China
Tumblr media
1986
One of John Carpenter’s greatest efforts, this film has truly earned its cult following. Martial arts and mysticism blend together to create a unique tale in which, in the words of Carpenter and Kurt Russell themselves, shows us “...A guy who thinks he’s the action hero when he’s really the comic sidekick.”
48. Spaceballs
Tumblr media
1987
Mel Brooks proves he can be funny in any decade he decides to make a movie with this, a spoof of not only Star Wars but sci-fi tropes in general. You’ll be quoting a lot of the lines long after the movie ends, guaranteed.
47. The Elephant Man
Tumblr media
1980
One of David Lynch’s most straightforward films
 and yet, also one of his best. It is a powerful, emotional story loosely based on the real tale of Joseph Merrick (here in the film named John). John Hurt gives an incredible performance as Merrick, and in an important cultural milestone this film was the movie that helped establish the Best Makeup category at the Oscars following this film getting snubbed for it (it was previously merely a special citation award that had been given out twice).
46. Pink Floyd: The Wall
Tumblr media
1982
One of the most infamously trippy and surreal music movies ever made, the deranged animation combined with some horrifying real-life imagery blend together to create one of the most inventive and strange artistic experiences ever put to film.
45. The Secret of NIMH
Tumblr media
1982
Don Bluth’s magnum opus, and dark story of a mother’s bravery and love for her child as she goes against insurmountable odds to save her sickly son from death. Well known for its fucked up imagery, it also contains a lot of heart and spirit, particularly in the brilliantly done main character, Mrs. Brisby. There’s a reason this is cited as one of the finest animated films ever made.
44. Conan the Barbarian
Tumblr media
1982
Basically every swords & sorcery film owes a massive debt of gratitude to this, the epic Arnold tale of a mighty barbarian’s quest for revenge. When everything from Red Sonja to Samurai Jack owes you a debt of gratitude, it’s safe to say you’re classic.
43. Clash of the Titans
Tumblr media
1981
Greek myths have never been brought to life more enjoyably. While there is a fine layer of cheese here – the mechanical owl and Zeus’ disco lights being the chief offenders – it’s all part of this film’s charm. Ray Harryhausen did the work for the stop-motion monsters, and without a doubt his work on Medusa is some of his finest work ever, with her single scene being the stuff of nightmares. And let us not forget his reimagining of the kraken as the stand-in for Cetus; here, the kraken is a massive four-armed fish man, a take that has embedded itself in pop culture enough that other fantasy settings have cribbed this for their krakens.
42. Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi
Tumblr media
1983
The capstone to the thrilling original trilogy, it is a tad more uneven than the previous installment, but that’s about the only major negative going for it. From the opening scenes in Kabba’s slimy crime palace to the final battle with the Empire on the moon of Endor, this movie set the standard for how you should conclude a trilogy (though it didn’t set the standard on how you should treat Boba Fett).
41. The Last Unicorn
Tumblr media
1982
The Rankin and Bass combo is best known for bringing delightfully corny stop-motion Christmas specials to life, but in 1982, they brought this, a gorgeous, dark, magical family film. At times charmingly magical, at others horrifyingly dark, but always stunningly gorgeous, this is one of the greatest hidden gems of the 80s.
40. Highlander
Tumblr media
1986
Clever concepts and a fine cast come together beautifully in this unique fantasy film of immortals doing battle. Come for Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert’s excellent performances, stay for Clancy Brown’s early role as the badass and psychotic villain Victor Kruger. There’s plenty of silliness and badassery all around, as is only fitting for an 80s fantasy film.
39. Akira
Tumblr media
1988
Motorcycle riding, explosions, telekinesis, psychic kids, horrifying mutations
 this anime has it all! There’s even overdramatic shouting of the name of a friend! This film helped show to many that animation had a place beyond just entertaining kids or families, and that adult animation is a viable thing; not only that, it really helped introduce anime in the West, and helped inspire other great works like The Matrix. Truly a landmark, Akira’s place in pop culture and cinematic history can’t be ignored.
38. Pee-wee’s Big Adventures
Tumblr media
1985
This film is weird; it’s a Tim Burton film that doesn’t really feel like a Tim Burton film (Large Marge notwithstanding). But that’s a good thing in this case; this charmingly simple tale of an eccentric man on a quest to retrieve his lost bike while getting into misadventures and meeting equally eccentric characters, culminating in an epic chase scene across Warner Bros. lots, is nothing short of fun.
37. Labyrinth
Tumblr media
1986
Jim Henson and David Bowie were two of the most inventive, creative, and talented men on the planet, and yet putting the two of them together on one project seems crazy. And yet, it happened, and boy is the result glorious. The incredible puppet work and catchy songs are one thing, but David Bowie’s performance as Jareth the Goblin King is on a whole different level. He does so good he makes up for Jennifer Connelly’s corny acting in spades.
36. The Road Warrior
Tumblr media
1981
Before Fury Road, there was The Road Warrior, a movie that lays as much claim to being called one of the most adrenaline-charged action films of all time. Filled with the crazy car stunts and action you would expect of a Mad Max movie, this movie is so good you almost forget you’re cheering for Mel Gibson of all people. Almost.
35. The Breakfast Club
Tumblr media
1985
A group of misfits get together in detention, and inner reflection and a tight bond ensue. This is another one of those perennial classics, a teen movie that has stood the test of time and remained relatable through the years. It’s hard not to relate to a bunch of alienated, suffering teens; we were all there once.
34. First Blood
Tumblr media
1982
Before the heavily actionized sequels
 there was this, a tragic, almost Shakesperean tale of a Vietnam vet who is so traumatized by his experience there is just no place for him in this world. This was far deeper and more politically charged than newcomers to the Rambo movies might expect, but it is all the better for it.
33. The Fly
Tumblr media
1986
Remaking a B-grade horror film and turning it into one of the most shining examples of body horror in all of cinema is quite an impressive feat, but David Cronenberg pulled it off! This movie is in many ways superior to the original film, and features one of Jeff Goldblum’s most impressive performances – one that is Oscar-worthy, I might add.
32. The Blues Brothers
Tumblr media
1980
Movies based off of SNL skits have a reputation of sucking
 save for this hilarious musical masterpiece, which has anything you could ever ask for from a comedy: Nazis getting run over, great songs and choreography, tons of cameos, and the greatest car chase ever put to film.
31. Field of Dreams
Tumblr media
1989
If you build it, they will come
 and cry their eyes out. This is one of the most tearjerking and heartwarming sports movies ever made, and arguably the best lowkey fantasy film of the 1980s.
30. TRON
Tumblr media
1982
Sci-fi hardly got more groundbreaking than this cult classic. This movie just oozes style, what with its glowy video game aesthetics, and features a young Jeff Bridges (which is always a plus) and those kickass lightcycles. These days it has gotten a lot more appreciation due to things like Kingdom Hearts, and that appreciation is not undeserved; what other movie can spawn an awesome sequel three decades after the original?
29. Flash Gordon
Tumblr media
1980
You COULD say that this film is nothing but a Star Wars ripoff that shamelessly cribs that series and its aesthetic
 or you could say FLASH! AAAAAAAA-AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE! The costumes, the cheesiness, the Queen soundtrack
 this movie is the epitome of awesome.
28. Batman
Tumblr media
1989
Tim Burton’s first crack at the Caped Crusader is still, to this day, one of the most impressive superhero films ever. Big props to both Michael Keaton in the title role and Jack Nicholson as his archenemy, the Joker; as it should be, these two and their performances make the film.
27. Full Metal Jacket
Tumblr media
1987
One of Kubrick’s greatest works, it is a misunderstood work; you don’t just tune out after R. Lee Ermey’s part ends. You come for Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, you stay for him, and then you sit through the Vietnam war bit. Yes, even I’ll admit the Vietnam war part is not quite as good as the first half
 but it still is filled with memorable scenes, characters, and quotes. Still though, mad props to Ermey, one of the few men to ever get away with improvising lines under Kubrick’s direction. You can’t understate an achievement like that.
26. Heathers
Tumblr media
1988
One of the greatest black comedies, maybe even THE best black comedy, ever made. It’s like a dark parody of films like The Breakfast Club, with high school angst and bitchy cliques taken to their logical extreme.
25. A Nightmare on Elm Street
Tumblr media
1984
This was really hard. The Elm Street series maintained a rather consistent level of quality overall throughout the 80s, from the underrated fifth and second installments to the third movie, which I would say is the best of the bunch. But I think that this spot can only belong to the original, without which none of the others would be possible. Wes Craven truly created an icon in the nightmarish Freddy Krueger, and Robert Englund brought him to life. This is truly the finest slasher film of the 80s.
24. This is Spinal Tap
Tumblr media
1984
13 spaces away from its ideal spot, this mockumentary follows the world’s loudest metal band on one of their crazy tours. This film has apparently had actual rock stars scratching their heads and wondering what the joke is
 apparently this film is too real for them. Whether that makes this better or not is up to you, but there’s really no denying this is a brilliant film either way.
23. Airplane!
Tumblr media
1980
Remember the days when spoof movies were funny? This film is a crowning moment of comedic genius; it needs to be seen to truly be appreciated, it’s a comedy no amount of explaining can do justice. Just go watch it and laugh your ass off.
22. RoboCop
Tumblr media
1987
Action and comedy are genres that really go hand-in-hand; being a bit tongue in cheek about slaughtering hordes of evil mooks is just amusing on a lot of levels. RoboCop manages to be ultraviolent, funny, bitingly satirical, and just a plain good time.
21. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Tumblr media
1982
Sci-fi rarely gets more Shakesperean than this. There’s very little about this that isn’t absolutely iconic and ingrained in pop culture, from Kirk’s infamous scream of Khan’s name to Khan himself as played by Ricardo Montalban to the tragic final moments of Spock near the end. This is widely considered one of the greatest sequels ever made, and it’s nearly impossible to argue against that.
20. Blade Runner
Tumblr media
1982
Harrison Ford. Rutger Hauer. A dark sci-fi dystopia. It’s hard to believe this movie was once a cult classic that didn’t exactly wow at the box office, since it has gone on to be one of the biggest sources of inspiration in the sci-fi genre ever, and managed to produce one of the greatest monologues ever with Roy Batty’s “Tears in the Rain” speech. Some would argue that the recently released sequel surpasses this, but we still gotta give props for all this film gave us.
19. The Terminator
Tumblr media
1984
The original unstoppable robot assassin film is truly iconic, and it is one of the films that helped turn Arnold Schwarzenegger into the massive pop culture icon he is today. So many quotable lines and a dark, brooding atmosphere that heightens the intensity, this is a film that, while overshadowed a bit by its incredible sequel, is every bit as good as you could imagine.
18. Gremlins
Tumblr media
1984
This is heralded as one of the greatest Christmas movies ever, and it’s hard to argue; this is a charming, quirky, dark holiday monster movie. The creature designs are fantastic, the characters are likable, and the movie just has such a sense of black comedy and dark fun that it’s pretty much infectious. This is the standard by which all holiday monster movies should be judged.
17. Predator
Tumblr media
1987
This is the definitive Arnold movie, and one of the manliest movies ever made on the face of the Earth. Not a single line of dialogue, not a single scene, nothing in this movie isn’t dripping with the sheer essence of manliness. Hell, the one woman that is in here is hardly noticeable due to the sheer amount of muscular men surrounding her. And even all the incredible manliness aside, we have one of the most awesome, badass alien antagonists ever put to film, with a unique design and an arsenal of weapons that make it into basically what Boba Fett SHOULD have been. This movie kicks so much ass it’s unreal; watch it, and you too can be a sexual Tyrannosaurus!
16. Scarface
Tumblr media
1983
This is probably the best gangster movie ever. Yeah, you heard me: I think this is better than The Godfather, and maybe even better than Goodfellas (at the very least, those two are on the same level). I think the reason I believe this is because Tony Montana is just such a compelling character; his rags-to-riches story and his own paranoia and hubris causing his downfall is like a Greek tragedy, and the movie is like this dark, violent character study. In that way, you could call this the Citizen Kane of gangster films, except this film is also entertaining and engaging.
15. Escape from New York
Tumblr media
1981
Kurt Russell has scarcely gotten a better role in his career than he did here. Snake Plissken is a hardened badass, and a pop culture icon who has inspired many incredible characters, from Solid Snake to Hoss Delgado. But the main character isn’t the only thing worthwhile; John Carpenter’s excellent and atmospheric score and the dark dystopian world shown here all help this film carve out its own identity amidst many bleak dystopian films of the 80s. But
 yeah, Snake is what really makes this movie. I’m a sucker for ruggedly handsome men in eyepatches, sue me.
14. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Tumblr media
1982
What kind of list would this be without this film on here somewhere? Spielberg really outdid himself here; it’s a heartwarming, tearjerking, incredibly well-done lowkey sci-fi film for the ages. Spielberg somehow managed to make a lumpy brown alien into the most sweet, adorable thing you could ever hope to see, and managed to give us some of the best child acting ever seen with the child leads of the movie. There’s very little about this film that isn’t excellent; it’s no wonder it has gone on to embed itself in pop culture to the extent it has.
13. Blue Velvet
Tumblr media
1986
It’s amazing how good straightforward David Lynch movies can be, considering the man is usually at his best with surreal mindfucks. But this somewhat less surreal film is a dark look at the rotten heart behind the cheerful facade of white picket fence America, a darkness completely embodied in the horrifying, insane madman that is Dennis Hopper’s Frank Booth, a frothing lunatic for the ages and one of the greatest villains ever put to screen.
12. The Thing
Tumblr media
1982
People who say all remakes are inevitably doomed from the get-go and that there can be no such thing as a good remake are hard to take seriously when movies like The Fly and this, John Carpenter’s magnum opus, exist. Taking an old B-grade horror sci-fi film and reworking it into a gory horror story that acts as a reflection of the then-current AIDS crisis and Cold War paranoia was a stroke of genius, and manages to create a film that truly outshines the original in just about every way. Maybe more directors should try remaking old B-movies.
11. The Goonies
Tumblr media
1985
Children going on adventures was a huge thing in the 80s, and for my money, it never got better than this film. This film is like a combination of everything great about 1980s adventure movies: creative death traps, likable characters, memorable music that will instantly get you to think of the film, memorable villains, and a solid plot about saving the neighborhood
 all of it seems so cliché, but by god does this film make it all work. And for how cheesy it all sounds and how 80s the film feels, it holds up remarkably well! Goonies never say die, indeed.
10. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Tumblr media
1988
And they say the movie can never be better than the book! Even the guy who wrote the book this is based on thinks the movie is better, and who can blame him? Not only do we have truly groundbreaking effects that really help you believe animated characters and live-action characters are interacting, Daffy Duck and Donald Duck have a scene where they get into a fight, and then later Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny share a scene! Holy shit, for those two scenes alone this movie would deserve a spot on this list, and the fact that the rest of it is as exciting and memorable as those scenes is just a showcase of what a genius work this is.
9. The Shining
Tumblr media
1980
It’s hard to believe that Kubrick won the Worst Director Razzie for this movie (well, it’s not that hard to believe, the Razzies fucking suck), since this is one of the most intensely atmospheric horror films ever made. Leave it to an insane perfectionist like Kubrick to make a ghost story as chilling and terrifying as this. This movie is also the poster child for an adaptation that is excellent while deviating quite a bit from the source material. Hardcore Stephen King fans may be disappointed, but for everyone else, this is one of the greatest, most iconic, and most influential horror films ever made. Even King came around to loving it eventually!
8. Evil Dead II
Tumblr media
1987
The original movie was a low-budget gorefest about a bunch of kids terrorized by demonic spirits in a cabin in the woods
 with all but one person dead, where could they go from there? Why, they could add some more comedic elements and make Ash more badass than ever by giving him a chainsaw for a hand! Equal parts funny and scary, this film manages to improve on its predecessor in every way – and there’s no tree rape here, either, which is always a big plus! Bruce Campbell truly shines in his performance as Ash Williams, and really sets the tone for what the man would become in the equally awesome sequel and TV series. Sure, some of the stuff here is really campy, but there’s no doubt in my mind a lot of the silliness is intentional; it’s all part of the charm.
7. Back to the Future
Tumblr media
1985
Time travel plots are tricky to pull off, due to all the tricky logic involved. You’re pretty much always gonna have holes in the time travel logic, so you better be damn sure you have charming, likable characters at the helm to keep the audience from straining their brains trying to make sense of the weirdness
 and by god, this film has that! Michael J. Fox, one of the most charming people alive, is Marty McFly, and Christopher Lloyd is one of the most lovably eccentric scientists ever put to screen. It also helps this film takes on a more fun, lighthearted, and funny tone, leading to it just oozing charm. Much like many other films on this list, it’s easy to see why this has become such an iconic movie.
6. Die Hard
Tumblr media
1988
This is considered one of the greatest action films ever made, one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made, and just flat-out one of the greatest movies ever made, period. But why is that? Because it’s a story of an average, everyday man thrust into an extraordinarily dangerous situation, and he deals with it like any ordinary cop would deal with a situation as crazy as terrorists taking over a skyscraper. Unlike other 80s action heroes, John McClane isn’t some crazy, invincible badass who can gun down a hundred mooks with ease. He bleeds, he gets hurt, he takes a fucking beating
 but he is determined to save the day no matter what, and he perseveres to take out the charming, cunning snake that is Hans Gruber. Of note is that Hans Gruber is an awesome, incredible villain, one for the ages
 and in a weird twist, the hero is equally good, if not BETTER than the villain. That’s a rare sight for sure!
5. Ghostbusters
Tumblr media
1984
Few films from the 80s have aged as well as this. From the mostly great special effects (yeah, the stop-motion on the demon dogs is not quite up to par with the other effects) to the inventive plot, this movie is not short on good ideas, but the real glue holding this film together is the camaraderie between the four leads. The four Ghostbusters have such great chemistry and play off each other really well, with their differing personalities bouncing off each other with such great results
 more movies should take notes from the chemistry that Aykroyd, Murray, Ramis, and (to a lesser extent) Hudson have.
4. Aliens
Tumblr media
1986
This right here is how you do a sequel that strays from the original’s tone and even genre a bit while still staying true to the idea. And what do you know, it’s James Cameron doing it, pulling off a feat he’d do again in the 90s with the second Terminator film! The original Alien was a dark, claustrophobic horror film; this movie keeps some of the horror elements, but ups the action, the amount of aliens, and most importantly the amount of Ripley. Sigourney Weaver cements Ripley’s place in the halls of pop culture with her iconic portrayal of sci-fi’s greatest leading lady. It’s a sequel that’s so damn good, it may just be better than the original. Now, if only Cameron could come back to the franchise
 Ridley Scott ain’t doing so well with it.
3. The Princess Bride
Tumblr media
1987
The 80s was not short on great fantasy films whatsoever
 but none of them can hold a candle to the masterpiece that is Rob Reiner’s comedic fantasy adventure. All of these characters are memorable, the dialogue is infinitely quotable, there’s just never a dull moment
 and long before Dave Bautista wowed audiences in Guardians of the Galaxy, we had Andre the Giant showing us all wrestlers could deliver great film performances. There’s not really anything bad I can say about this movie
 except that it ends. Ah well, nothing great lasts forever.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
Tumblr media
1981
Cinematic adventures just don’t get better than this. There’s hardly anything I can say about this movie that hasn’t been said a million times better by a million other reviewers; this is a fun, exciting adventure with a bit of light fantasy elements tossed in to spice everything up. And you know, in this day and age, seeing an all-American badass bookworm beating the shit out of Nazis is just really damn refreshing.
1. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back
Tumblr media
1980
The dawn of the 80s saw the release of what very well may be the single greatest sequel ever made. It takes everything that was good about the original movie and just runs with it; there’s more aliens, more exotic locales, more Jedi action, more drama, more Han Solo
 And then we have truly iconic moments, lines, and characters like the battle of Hoth, Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett, Yoda, “I am your father,” “I love you.”/“I know.” This is one of the crowning achievements of the sci-fi genre, the magnum opus of the Star Wars saga, and without a doubt the finest film of the 1980s.
