This was a weekly staple on HBO in its early days.  This movie also has a cameo performance from a very young George Strait before anyone knew who he was.

It was 1991, but it's one of my favorites from the era, and my favorite Michael Keaton flick.

Ummm... yeeaaahhhh... Porky's is one of the most identifiable, most popular movie of the 80s. It's pretty much a documentary of what many of us teenage boys in the 80s lived through.

I nominate "Class" -- Certainly not the best movie ever (just 29% on Rotten Tomatoes), but just good ol' 1983-themed fun.   Rob Lowe (early in his career), Andrew McCarthy, Jacqueline Bisset.

Speaking of Gene Simmons, the last two minutes of the movie are worth the ride to get there.  Another HBO staple.

My father was NEST and we watched it together.  I’ll never forget the following:
-“We don’t mark our trucks.”
-“We would never try to disarm a device like that.  We would surround it with foam and destroy it in place with explosives.”

I don't remember the movie, but it had ghost like cowboys or war veterans, someone rode a dead horse of the same flavor, and for some reason I remember a large dinning room table.

I have no idea what it was, and my random internet searches haven't helped.

Anyway, I liked the Brave Starr cartoon movie and it reminded me of that.

The opening scene in this one is just mindblowing:

Not even close to the 80s. You really do need to kick your own ass.

Hero is an amazing movie, though. Really amazing, and not just for the fight choreography.

This one is maybe obscure to the general public, but GD undoubtedly knows it well. And I can't believe we've had seven pages without Blood Sport.

Loved all of those. And MK is my favorite Batman.

Another awesome movie of his was "My Life". But it's a brutal beatdown of sadness like, "Marley and Me", "Hachiko" and a few others. Not a feel-good flick.

Endangered Species (1982)

About cattle mutilations and government conspiracies, with a couple over the top gore scenes.

One of the programming directors at a local independent TV station scheduled this for thanksgiving day
as an edgy joke, which was amusing to teenaged me.
