80's Movies you haven't seen yet

Well my plan is to watch these movies by the end of the year. What are some of the popular 80's movies you haven't yet seen but plan on seeing it?

I recently added Xanadu to my HBO Max queue. Was that considered popular?

I've had the Blu-ray of Brazil on my shelf for a few years now. I really should watch that one day.

Odds are high if i haven't seen it by now I won't be seeing it. Right now can't think of any popular ones. Maybe I saw them all.
Time keeps on slipping into the future...

Those 2 are really great,especially Terminator

2 80s movies that come to my mind that I haven't seen are
Mad Max and Blade Runner.

I also have never seen Bill and Ted

Mad Max isn't an 80s movie. It's a 70s movie.

Make sure you watch "The Final Cut" of Blade Runner. There are like 7 different versions of the movie including a so called "directors cut" which isn't actually the director's cut. The Final Cut version is the definitive version according to the director.

1980?? Olivia Newton John?? Yeah it was popular, not a good movie but the sound track was good.

Soundtrack yes, movie was a gigantic bomb.

I saw the movie again recently and its still sucks but it does have its moments. Seeing Olivia and Gene Kelly dance was nice to see.

Olivia never looked better than she does in this movie.

The one who sticks out is Michael Beck fresh from the Warriors. He is terrible in this. Absolutely NO chemistry with olivia. Talk about mis-cast!

Yeah I too recently saw it again, mostly because I haven't seen it in almost 40 years, Yeah just a bad script, people were hoping it was the next Grease, it wasn't. Olivia looks so cute in the movie, though I think the role she played was supposed to be a younger female like late teens/early 20's while Olivia was 32 when this movie came out.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who was alive in the 80s and never saw E.T. lol

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
