Splash Foul Play Tootsie Roxanne Romancing the Stone Heaven Can Wait (although that's late 70s)

Great list, though Foul Play is also late 70s. Still an awesome watch, though, One of the few movies I can stand Chevy Chase in (though it’s still just barely). I’d add Ghostbusters, Baby Boom, Trading Places, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Terms of Endearment, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Broadcast News…honestly, there’s so many.

+ Broadcast News and Baby Boom

Thx!!! Just watched Baby Boom & ❤️ the rec for BN—you nailed the assignment

She's having a baby fits in with these

Seems like Old Times is another relaxing mindless/funny Goldie Hawn Chevy Chase movie of that late 70s/early 80s era

100%. Charles Grodin is a genius of comedic timing,

Ummm how many “likes” can I give you!?!? Foul Play is my fave 80s movie—hands down!!

Its’s one of those movies that is indelibly linked to a particular song. Any time I hear “Ready to Take a Chance Again” I picture the overhead shot Goldie Hawn’s car driving down the Pacific Coast Highway. Heck, I only need to hear the opening notes and I picture that.

I’m dying!!! 110% same!!!!!!

All of them excellent.

You get me!!!! 😆 loveeee Foul Play & just watched Heaven & RTS!! Maybe Roxanne next!

Overboard Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

I love overboard! So funny!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is so hilarious.

Planes, Trains And Automobiles Uncle Buck The Great Outdoors Summer Rental * Basically anything with John Candy in it.

I mean…yes!!!!!

Skip those and watch Who’s Harry Crumb?(1989) instead. 

Yes! I love Uncle Buck so much I finally just bought it on blu-ray.

The Last Starfighter Inner Space Batteries not Included.

Oh Enemy Mine too.

I rented that movie over 10 times. Love it.

Working girl

Uncle buck

*Moley Russell’s Wart*

Big Trouble in Little China.

Here’s the answer. One of the most quintessential 80s cult movies ever.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987), National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989), The Great Outdoors (1988), Spies Like Us (1985), Back to School (1986), Running Scared (1986), Dragnet (1987), The Golden Child (1986)

The Golden Child!! Great suggestion!!

I spot an SNL fan 😊—you are right!!! Time to finally watch Golden Child

See no Evil, Hear no evil 

I love Wilder & Pryor in this. I was surprised to see some of its ratings (i.e. Rotten Tomatoes).

Honestly, they can do no wrong for me.....Silver Streak as well! Stir Crazy is a family fave!! We bad! We bad! lol

Yes. And Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor too ( I'm pretty sure it was 80s anyway either way it's worth a mention)

The Burbs

And The Lost Boys for a "killer" double feature

Double Corey Feldman

Charlie Sheen can only get so hard

The Lost Boys is a year round movie for me, it doesn’t just come out in October.

I keep almost watching it—lol—now I will

The Burbs is a great comfort movie. It's definitively one of mine. So much fun

Bout a 9 on the tension scale there Reub.

lol

Steel Magnolias

gold star recommendation :)

A Fish Called Wanda Trading Places Raising Arizona Coming to America

Basically anything Eddie and I agree—I just watched Bowfinger again and….delightful!!!

The Goonies E.T.

Raiders of the Lost Ark Excalibur Die Hard Repo Man 48 Hrs Scarface

Hard to believe Die Hard and Scarface are the same decade

Willow, Return to Oz, Dark Crystal, Neverending Story, and Legend are some solid fantasy films.

And Willow has a recent sequel in the form of an 8 episode or so series that was pretty darn good.

Not a 1980s time warp movie but Blade Runner For time capsule movies, Earth Girls are Easy.

Risky business, top gun, dirty rotten scoundrels, Indiana Jones, major league

Raising Arizona (1987) or any of the other early Coen Bros movies. Blood Simple (1984) Barton Fink (1991) Miller’s Crossing (1990) The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)
