Favourite Cheesie 80s movies  

Well you definatly hit most of them. I suppose any movie involving the Brat Pack would be a cheesy 80's movie, including St Elomo's Fire. But don't forget Goonies, Stand By Me and Gremlins. Who can ever forget those lovable yet oh so dangerous little creatures.

Oh boy there were so many great cheesie movies in the 80's! I had to go look at my old tape collection but here's some of my favorites:

Beastmaster
Spaceballs
Cherry 2000
Fright Night
Airplane
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Better Off Dead
Escape from New York
Flashdance
Trick or Treat
Gremlins
Ice Pirates
Risky Business
Conan the Barbarian
The Lost Boys
Night of the Comet
The Princess Bride
Real Genius
Dirty Dancing
Short Circuit
Evil Dead 1 & 2
Big Trouble in Little China
This is Spinal Tap

There are so many. I love Neverending Story, Labrynth, Legend, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science, Just One of the Gus, Flashdance, Footloose...I could go on forever.

Legend of Billie Jean
Ghostbusters
Weird Science
Sixteen Candles
Ferris Bullers Day Off loved it
Labyrinth never seen
Porkys 1&2 lmao
Breakfast Club still watch it occasionally
Neverending Story my all time favourite series and still buy them for my grandchildren
Pretty In Pink never seen it
Pet Cemetary never seen it
Fast Times at Ridgemont High never seen it
Purple Rain never seen it
Footloose loved it

These were my busy years as I was raising my kids. Susan

You hit several of my favorites, so let me add to your list: The Lost Boys
Better off Dead
Summer School
Lethal Weapon
Dream a Little Dream

And basically anything with the brat pack or the Coreys.

I was able to watch: Ghostubsters, Weird Science, Labyrinth, Never-ending story, Pet cemetary,etc.

I agree with all of them, LOL, sixteen candles and fast times being my favorites. You forgot, "the goonies" And "Somekind of wonderful." let's not forget my least favorite. "Blue Lagoon."

Do you remember "the last american virgin?" Some do and some don't. It was a typical guy trying to get laid film of the Porkeys genre, but I loved it. A bit later movie, I think 90 was Dazed and Confused. Great film.

My favorite films are those that I call, "Day in the life of..." sort of movies. Ferris Bueller's day off is another. It might not be just a day, but its a total teen experience and I can soooo relate.

OK, you have my 80[s memories jumping. Come back to us, John Hughes. My kids will never know the movies that I knew.

LOL, I like many of the movies above despite the cheese factor.

Some others I watched and are kind of cheesy or very cheesy are:

Beetlejuice (Silly but I liked it!)
The Fly (oh brother...)
Big (Tom Hanks is a kid. Corny. And I liked it. lol.)
Eddie and the Cruisers (OK, so I liked that one then too!)
Revenge of the Nerds (Oh, awful stuff.)
Heathers (ACK!)
Vacation (Cheesy on purpose!)
Night Shift (Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton work in a morgue. SO cheesy!)
Caddyshack (ergh)
Police Academy (Ugh.)
Desperately Seeking Susan (Yuck)

I think Rocky III and IV were made in the 80's and I like Rocky movies but they were getting really cheesy by then.

Stayin Alive (Not up to snuff with Saturday Night Fever)

One of my favorite movies is really cheesy - Urban Cowboy

And the winner for the cheesiest movie of the 80's that didn't mean to be corny or cheesy but just was for me (and I worked with the star a few years later) is... THEY LIVE. Ugh. (Sorry Roddy!)

I really loved the Porky's series, those movies were so funny! How about Airplane...("I am seriously, and please don't call me Shirley")? I also loved The Breakfast Club, in fact I think I appreciate it more now than I did when it came out. I guess I found it hard to take a film seriously that my daughter just loved! About Last Night and St. Elmo's Fire were also my favorites. Thanks for bringing back some great memories of my younger years.
