The BIGGEST Summer Blockbusters of the 80s!

[@danlove12k]

1985 was the best summer: Goonies, back to the future, weird science, Rambo part 2, pee wee big adventure, fletch, national lampoon vacation, fright night, better off dead, teen wolf, st Elmo’s fire 😅

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

100% people say 1999 was the best for cinema but its always been 1984 for me. Thanks for watching!

[@babymammoth34]

A Truly iconic decade for cinema.

1985 is the year I was born in, and the 1980s was a great decade for movies which include 48 Hours, (1989) The Punisher, The Terminator, Robocop, Predator, Batman, etc.

Breakin' Is My Favorite Movie I Love It So much That I want a Animated series based on the movie but Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones passed away In 2020 either way that film was so good to me It's up there with Terminator Rocky and RoboCop as my favorite films ever !!!

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Thanks for watching!

[@jasoncase9481]

The 80s was a golden era when we could rely on movies to have mostly their own memorable soundtracks even if some songs aren’t from the movie. Also Hollywood making movies with characters from the movies such as 48 Hours, Indiana Jones trilogy, Beverly Hills Cop, Raw Deal, The Terminator, Robocop, Predator, Commando, Aliens, etc.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Cinema was certainly riding high in the 80s! So many classics!

[@jasoncase9481]

@@MoviesNeverSayDie Which is why the 80s will always be the excellent era for movies because movies having original soundtracks was common, now in the 2000s it’s less common for movies to have their own original soundtracks likely because it’s just easy to be lazy and uncreative by using existing songs instead of putting effort into making original songs for a movie soundtrack.

[@thegood9]

something weird is going on with your sound (specifically your vocal track). It sounds like an overcompressed "pumping"...or overlimiting (or it could be some sort of "autoducking" related to your backing music track interacting with your voice track). Maybe you'll want to check on that...?

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Thanks for the feedback, I noticed this as well with a few of my recent videos. Did some test recordings with various settings and it should be all straightened out by my next video. Thanks for watching!

[@mataya909]

Ease up with the gate on your recording device, or software.

[@thomassutherland377]

The trouble with summer blockbusters is that they'd appear in the UK either around Christmas or even the following year.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

That's interesting, here in the states all the serious awards contenders fill theaters, it would be a nice change of pace to have a few popcorn movies in the winter season. Thanks for watching!

[@forestoldboy]

Great video as always and i watched most of these at the uk cinema on release but please dont add the indiana jones name to 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' it sounds & looks wrong!!! Looking forward to more of ur great lists 😎👍

Thanks so much for watching much appreciated!

[@babymammoth34]

This wasn't a blockbuster of the 80's but still was a fun cinematic ride from that time (more obscure) and it was called The Wraith from 1986 with Charlie Sheen. Have you seen it? It's really similar to 1994's The Crow.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

The Wraith is a KICK ASS flick for sure! That movie was so over the top with the gang haha. But that car was so cool!

[@babymammoth34]

@@MoviesNeverSayDie That car could rival the slick 1989 batmobile! The way it lit up and disappeared was off the hook! Remember the gang member who got high on brake fluid and other car chemicals with the multicolored mohawk???

Hot to Trot is the one I haven't noticed on any streamer. Just me though. Hiding Out was one of my favorites. I'd tell people my name was Maxwell Houser. I watched Fear City once but don't remember much outside of his character protecting the strippers.

"WHAT'S THAT SMELL?!!!

[@thegood9]

HOW did they make the original Top Gun for "only" $15M? That really is astounding. I think the Navy "donated" their planes for the most part, and that made the movie work. Otherwise that movie should've cost well in the 30M range...

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

I know right $15M is impressive. I've heard stories that the film crew piggy backed on some Naval exercises out at sea and did their own filming in the background. I can't remember where I heard this but Tony Scott wanted them to turn the carrier around so the sunset would be on the opposite side of the shot, the Navy refused to float the bill for the time and fuel so Scott ponied up like $25-30K for them to make a quick u-turn to get the shot in.

[@jasoncase9481]

48 Hours got released in the 1980s. A very not PC action movie set in San Francisco, also it’s a bromance cop action movie released before Lethal Weapon.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

48hr was definitely a popular movie when released!

[@FleetwoodTheProfit]

It literally started the buddy cop or white guy black guy become friends solving crimes together genre.

[@jasoncase9481]

@@MoviesNeverSayDie It’s a great not PC action movie that couldn’t get made today with repeated use of that awful N word which Reggie also uses pridefully in 1 scene, other racist aspects, etc. While The Departed does have a character using the N word it’s for 1 scene, and fits the context of the interview scene.

[@FleetwoodTheProfit]

​@@jasoncase9481There's the scene where Nolte apologized and why he used them but Murphy says "that doesn't explain everything." Classic Nolte "yeah..."

@@FleetwoodTheProfit He’s likely frustrated that the relationship with the bartender is only for physical pleasure. The Police Captain being angry and a big black man calling Reggie the N word during the lees recapped how they failed to capture 2 dangerous murderers is priceless mainly because it’s outside the box instead of just a dime a dozen it’s a white character calling a black character the N word.

The 80 an era when Arnold began competing with Stallone mainly as a action movie hero.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

A great time, their rivalry delivered us viewers a ton of great action movies! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻

[@jasoncase9481]

I never really understood why Robocop was criticized as a ripoff of The Terminator because in Robocop a murdered Detroit police officer gets resurrected as the Cyborg known as Robocop to create order in a rundown Detroit that takes place in a Dystopian movie universe where OCP privatized the Detroit police, and it mostly runs the world. In Terminator a cybernetic organism that is the T-800 which resembles a man is sent back to the past to kill Sarah Connor so that the Terminators will be victorious in the future since John Connor the savior of humanity can’t be born.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Yeah I never really got that either, their differences far outweigh the couple of similarities they have and both went on to be iconic. Thanks for watching!
