Guardians fooled the younger crowd into thinking that they were playing 80s music. At best, the Escape/Pina Colada song was at the cusp of the decade. Much of that soundtrack was pure 70s music.

If you want some films that demonstrate the music of the 1980s, I'd recommend Donnie Darko and Napoleon Dynamite.

Watch the theatrical cut of Donnie Darko, NOT the director's cut. Beware, Donnie Darko was directed by Richard Kelley - he's a one hit wonder director. That was the ONE film he made that was good. Sort of like Neill Blomkamp and District 9, except Kelley's subsequent films were dreadful.

The Terminator and the Matrix are two of my all time favorites that I occasionally watch again. They were really good science fiction. The sequels were not.

You realize Judgement Day is up there with Empire when it comes to sequels that surpassed the original conversations?

In the interests of keeping this thread alive - I would also like to recommend The Quiet Earth (1985).

Croods II was actually pretty funny. I have kids, so I've watched every cartoon movie for the last 10 years.

I have a soft spot for:
• Master and Commander
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
• Amadeus

Ha. One complete fiction and two "loosely based on history."

Hellraiser Can't beat erotically charged, bloody sticky goo zombies whose skin has been stripped by pinhead demons. On a par with 'Lifeforce'.

Almost forgot, in addition to "Monty Python & the Holy Grail'

there's Terri Gilliam's "Time Bandits"

That’s a fun movie!

Spacey's masterpiece.

Spacey? Oh yeah, the homosexual rapist that is such a shitball, Hollywood won't even rehire him.

James Gunn is directing Guardian's of the Galaxy III despite being a pedophile.

You can be a homo offender and still a great actor. Klaus Kinski banged every womyn of every ethnicity and was one of the greatest actors. I highly recommend Kinski's auto biography.

Which brings me to "Aguirre, wrath of God". Great movie. Kinski is basically going mad with jungle fever during the movie in the Amazon in reality, while portraying someone going mad with jungle fever in the Amazon. Can't get much better.

To keep this thread from dying - anybody seen Dr. Sleep?

It's a (sort of) sequel to The Shining. There's a brutal scene in it, and it's "woke" but not STUPID woke, and I thought it was well done.
