Conan the Barbarian was the real shit brother. It was the way and what was best in life.
Steelwind
Oh yeah, that's the good stuff.

Ewoks the Battle for Endor? Oh my God. I think I watched this on TV simulcast on the radio for those without a stereo TV
TeddyDaBear
Oh my god. I had completely forgotten about stereo simulcasting. I now remember doing that for a bunch of shows.
Hisguel
I love every single one of this films!

I liked Explorers but hated the last half with the aliens. I thought they were absolutely stupid, and it killed the movie for me. I was 10.
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
So were the aliens.
Nobs3000
So much nostalgia. I feel so old. Go Johnny 5! Loved every single one of the. Rewatching the Ewok is hard now though lol.
FruitIsNotDessert
The Dark Crystal was the first movie I saw with my dad, he was a sci-fi lover
Jordinatinglybeautiful
It doesn’t have John Matrix carrying a log down a hill but otherwise this is the shit. 9/10z
Goulache
Let off some steam.
MandaTori
The Last Starfighter
SercMoodle
Explorers. That is a movie I haven’t seen in a long time. Thanks for the reminder.
VonSnootingham
To this day, the music from the building montage is what plays in my head for moments of crafting and intense concentration.
PinPointSnarkuracy
I got so pumped when I saw his Commodore 64, I was like *GASP* I've got one of those... I COULD DO THAT! (I was really young)
3nd3rwiggin
It's what dreams are made of.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
You were doing so well up until that awful Ewok movie.
InWedgeWeTrust
Better than this last trilogy. I enjoyed both of the Ewok movies.
banjak
Ahhh, back when movies weren't pushing agendas down everyone's throats.
siegeDrunner
Rent free
WiqidBritt
You were just too young to realize what the agendas were.
tyrunn
You probably need to rewatch a few of those before saying something that stupid
710FPS
I think having a message or agenda is fine, if it doesn't come at the expense of the story. Entertain first and primarily.
banjak
I agree, it's the forcing down our throats I don't agree with. Having a 'Story' and being 'Entertaining' is low priority for Hollywood sadly
b1b1b1b1
Easy there chief.
DriverIRQnotlessOrEqual
Batteries not included is what happens when you cast afford an A list cast so you use Mc Donald’s happy meals toys. Great movie too
edalton454
Great movie because A-list character actors were given staring roles! IMHO

GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Star Trek used the same story like 12 times over the decades.
Ilikebattleships
....and your Mickey Mouse is a big dope!!
jridley
The author of the book that was based on facepalmed so hard when he read the screenplay. They butchered the story so badly.
doctorwoohoo
Enders Game should have been a trilogy!
magiin
...You mean Enemy Mine.
doctorwoohoo
I have smoked a lot of pot since the 80’s
Li3303
I was surprised it wasn’t included.

So many of them are movies I catched midway on tv and never really watched all the way...

GammonFaceMcFuckNips
Remember in ewoks 2 when they straight up murder 3 out of 4 of the family from the first one
Goulache
Seriously how fucked up was that? And why didn’t it bother me so much when I was young??
GammonFaceMcFuckNips
It's super fucked and I think the same thing. 8yr old me was just like I guess she's on her own adventure this time.
usernamesarereallystupid
Now I have to go watch Explorers.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
That show got me interested in coding!
Ilovebuns
This was a childhood lineup on the weekends. Plus Goonies.

Also MST3K..

I am all about the love people are giving Flight of the Navigator. You go @OP!!
DangerMous
That is still one of my all time favourite movies.
SlappySamsonite
I’m with you! Love it!
PotatoeChamp
Well thank you!
pad39
Does it still hold up today? Don’t want to ruin a childhood classic.
postholidaypoop
Y'all know its on Disney +? Showed it to my 4 year old and he loved it.
dogsarebetterthanhuman
What movies are in here? I recognize FOTN, Dark Crystal, Batteries not Included, Conan, not the others
dogsarebetterthanhuman
Short circuit
dogsarebetterthanhuman
Right....Starwars ROTJ

Ewoks: caravan of courage ;)
PhilMcrevice
I have been seeing a ton of love for FotN...anyone know why? Not complaining but is there a new popular meme???
JacksBrokenWind
I came here to comment on this but you beat me to it. Second time I've seen FotN on the front page today and I love it.
bloatyOs
Idk but I’m glad it is getting the love it deserves. I never knew so many people enjoyed Navigator growing up as much I did, until now.
Olystubbies
Disney + has given people access to watch it again
PhilMcrevice
Good point, is it in the vault?
H2ONerd
I thought I had imagined FotN for years because nobody ever knew what I was talking about. Same with The Peanut Butter Solution.

The peanut butter solution is a god damned nightmare factory.
TheyreGoodDogsBront
It was somehow billed as a comedy!

Batteries Not Included. All the feels.
REVENGE488
It’s a great movie.
nobodywhatsoever
It needs a sequel. Imagine the charity when they encounter a drone.
GodsFoot
Love that movie
knudude
The part when she doesn’t recognize him as “Bobby” just kills me when he bring doughnuts & flowers.
Warutteri
What movie was that?
lowburn
Batteries not included

That's was the first film to make me cry when I was 5...

Last Starfighter... Such and underrated movie. Also, man I wish you had Krull in here.
clydeman420
Anyone remember the Tron arcade game? Was holograms if I remember correctly

I wish these had sound. That "We die." line is just so awesome.
Evi1Gav
A film that didn't win the special effects Oscar because "computer graphics are cheating". Oh how times have changed.
ObliqueRay
Fucking Krull... so creepy when I was kid.
causality
Eh...rewatching it, his copilot does all the work and he barely manages to pull the trigger when he gets told to fire.
PotatoeChamp
Krull!!! Yeah. I forgot that one... also red sonja...
joepineapplesindrag
Hang on I thought one of them was Krull... what's the one just before the dark crystal landstrider gif..? With the castle in the plain?
TheIncrediblyCredibleQ
Maybe Beast Master?
arayasunshine
Oh my gosh. I love that you know these!
CaptainWolfsburg
Supposedly there's a sequel in the works for Last Starfighter.
GrootyMcGrootface
Nice!!

Actually The Last Starfighter This Time

TeddyDaBear
Dude, GnR was already big in 1987. Appetite For Destruction was released in June of '87.
JakunJa
Fair point, wasn’t thinking
TeddyDaBear
Seethreepeeoh
Then I wont tell you if Disney did a live action remake of Grease, it would be set in 2001.
TeddyDaBear
How about if Fox rebooted That 70's Show with the same date difference, it would be set in the 90s.
ThisGuyPostingThings
I'd highly doubt it, given the group was around in 1985 and he's supposed to play something just before it gets big. Maybe Pearl Jam.
Seethreepeeoh
(Also, pearl Jams debut album was 91)
ThisGuyPostingThings
Yes, but they were formed in 90, could be a late Mother Love Bone performance, where they bs that's how Eddie Vedder joined.
Seethreepeeoh
It would make for a better movie!
Seethreepeeoh
OK, so I made this a couple of years ago. Now, it's 1993 - so NIRVANA! fuck yeah! (a couple more years and it would be Boyzone, phew)
ThisGuyPostingThings
Why would it be 27 years, rather than 30 (1990), like in the original Back to the Future film?
Seethreepeeoh
You are correct sir. Got it in my head they went to 58 as this is when Berry released JBG. We could also have Wilson Phillips or MC Hammer?
Seethreepeeoh
Agreed. As, Chuck berry was already recording, NKOTBs breakthrough #1 came in 89 after Donnies cousin rang him with an idea for a new sound
ThisGuyPostingThings
Except the album "Hangin' Tough" (which it came from) was released in '88 and recorded in 87-88, so timing doesn't work.
ThisGuyPostingThings
Or rather, their success started there, the #1 is somewhat immaterial.
Seethreepeeoh
Immaterial? Its paying for Mrs Knights retirement home.
Seethreepeeoh
I think you may be over-googling this. Besides they've already got Donnie Wahlberg to play Tom Holland's history teacher
