hahah, i fucking love spaceballs. i was watching it a couple of weeks ago, everyone who'd grown up watching it was absolutely pissing themselves, and everyone else was like 'dude, lamest movie ever'.

'comb the desert! found anything yet?' *cut to guys carrying a massive black hair comb* 'we ain't found shit!'

Men in Tights=No
Blazing Saddles= 1974


Dude, Grease 2 was even shitter than Grease, and that was shithouse

The Breakfast Club is overrated. Without a doubt the most predictable teen movie I've ever seen. Think about that for a second.

 

[girl__upstairs]

But you have to remember, it was the first movie of its kind at that time

 

[Hippy La-Laa]

Best movie to come out of the 80's= 'Xanadu'.

The music, the neon lights, the dreadful script, the dancing, Olivia and Gene Kelly.

Bliss.

Stand by me
Footloose (better than dirty dancing and all that other bullshit)
St. Elmos fire
Diner

Rebel Without a Cause achieved what The Breakfast Club achieved 30 odd years earlier. It focused on teenagers more generally, but it was more or less the same idea. Besides groundbreaking movies don't really mean shit to people who watch them 20 years after they were made Try Citizen Kane for example

Good call about Diner though Jade. I didn't know chicks liked that movie, seeing as it's about a bunch of asshole dudes with conservative 50s attitudes who treat women like shit

Hey i still reckon The Breakfast Club still stakes up pretty well against modern teen movies

Well let's face it.. with a few good and original flicks aside (imo Almost Famous, 10 Things I Hate About You, Donnie Darko, Ghost World, Cruel Intentions.. American Pie when it was first out), teen movies suck.

All brilliant movies (though i didnt really like American Pie)- you have good taste.
