People arguing over someone else's Favorite Movies list is a strange thing. I never bother making lists anymore but my most watched movies, and the Blu Ray discs on the shelf that I bought to replace DVDs shows what my favorites are. Almost all of my favorites are from the 1980s, late 1970s, and early 1990s.

I love that this is YOUR list; and unapologetically so. But you fooled me on #1. I kept thinking the next John Hughes movie was going to be "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Of course, having seen your Filming Locations for "Vacation", I guess I should have seen that coming.

It all depends on the type of taste of each person and I think that those of us who were born in the mid or late 70's and were able to live the wonderful 80's enjoyed the best time in the world and I am sure that our dream would be to travel to the past! something that those who had their childhood in the 90's do not think the same and I would say that in my childhood I adored and still adore adventure movies and for me the N1 would be The Goonies where those types of movies left you dreaming and thinking about the movie you just saw! I love the 80's, I love this channel and I love your content!!
@vicenzor36256 ай бұрын
Being a child in the 80s was a lot different than being an adult. Not so great. The brink of nuclear destruction in 1981 and close a few more times that decade. AIDS epidemic hit and at first people didn't know it was only a blood/sex transmission. Everyone was scared shitless they'd catch it or their kids would catch it and get a death sentence. Then comes inflation, the crack epidemic, etc. You were shielded as a kid so oblivious to what was happening. That's why you remember it as the "greatest decade".

I do not have a problem with you list because all those movies are great. Also, I have not seen Valley Girl since the 80's when my uncle recommended us to watch it. I do not recall it but I do remember it to be funny. And the Def Jam movie, it does ring a bell but nothing is coming back on that movie. No, I do enjoy your list. Lots I could say about all those movies, but I have not seen them in so long, I should take the time to watch some of them. Thanks, as usual for reminding me of old gems of movies.

You have to love the story how Phil Hartman, who, at the time was a struggling actor and writer who was a legend in the underground with the Groundlings, co wrote Pee Wee's Big Adventure. It was sort of a last ditch attempt for him at the big time, and if it didn't succeed, he said he'd go back to working as a graphic designer, like he did before he got into sketch comedy and writing. Sure enough, it was a hit, and he got on SNL, and the rest is history
