Need some help from OSA'ers

[blandy]

Alright everyone, at the moment I'm bang into me cheesy 80's films, and seen as I was barely even in the 80's I wanted to know if some people could point us in the right direction of some films I'd like. So far av seen Scarface, Top Gun, Days Of Thunder, Flashdance, Footloose, Beverly Hills Cop, Cocktail. I'd love it if yas could tell us the names of some other ones I should give a go, ones with montages and bang on 80's soundtracks!

'Stand By Me' was a cracker. Timeless film, gotta be watched.

also 'Buster', story of the great train robbers starring Phil Collins. Remember watchin it thinkin it was brilliant, then watched a bit 20 yrs later and realised how bad the acting was. But forgettin that, was a top cheesy film and even better soundtrack.

Has to be The Breakfast Club, by John Hughes.

Nice mild cheese, great humour, good pathos and mint sound track. Iconic film.

Sorry just realised jammer nominated that one also.

 

[Michie]

House Party (is that early 90's though????)

 

[mixster]

Loads of great films already mentioned - one that's often overlooked is this:

The Sure Thing (1985) - one of my faves!

Otherwise, anything by John Hughes (Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink etc), or for cheesy action -

Red Dawn (1984) - the old commie-bashing American 80's film at it's most extreme.

Did anyone mention

The Outsiders (1983)

and

Rumble Fish (1983)

also

Over the Edge (1979)

loads more will come to mind later I'm sure...
