Day 10 - 80s Films

Top 5: 80s Films

5. The Princess Bride (1987)
   

Why are most of these films kids films? Cause in 1985, I was a kid. The Goonies is every kids dream. Running around caves, pirate gold, boobie traps, the coolest water slide, and a monster named Sloth...what more could a kid ask for? Even though most kids today have no idea what a Delorean is, Back to the Future is just as great today as it was then. Ghostbusters seems to get better with time. I loved it when I was young, and now that I'm older, I get all of the sexual innuendos:

[When under threat from the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man]

Peter: "Hey, this Mr. Stay-Puft is okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York... we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!"

Ferris Bueller lip synching Twist and Shout in downtown Chicago is one of the greatest moments in film.

If I was a little older in the 80s, perhaps I would have given props to The Breakfast Club, Dirty Dancing, Top Gun or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

But... oh well... time for some Truffle Shuffle...
