OK, I'm older than a lot of people on here... but are there older films that you love...

like Short Circuit, Interview with the Vampire, Cocktail, Teen Wolf and Flight of the Navigator.

Any suggestions?

Since you're in the 80's genre, here are some of my faves: Princess Bride, Better Off Dead, Blade Runner, Ghostbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension...

...and of course, the holy grail of movies: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I thought Interview with the Vampire was from the '90s -- I think I was in high school when it came out! Now I feel old...

I second the Princess Bride (hey, I'm hosting a WW game on it soon over at WGF -- see my recruitment post over in Promotions & Plugging [/shameless plug]). I also loved Spaceballs, Adventures in Babysitting (my friend and I watched this for every sleepover in elementary school), Robin Hood (Disney version)... These are the ones I used to watch over and over, and I'd still enjoy watching now.

From middle/high school, I liked Swing Kids, Heathers, Pump Up the Volume, Man in the Moon (with Reese Witherspoon)... And then there are some "new" classics I enjoy: Ever After, the Secret of Roan Inish, and Whale Rider. I know I'm forgetting something, but you know how our old folks' minds are!

Yep. High school for IwtV, elementary for AiB. Now you can guess how old I am.

Pshaw, any self-respecting Irish person would scoff at what you call "old". Not that I am Irish in the slightest, but I'm just saying. 1994 is not old.

One of the best damned comedies ever made, in that vein, was Katharine Hepburn's Bringing Up Baby (1938), where she's a manic, magnetic, scatterbrained woman who just won't stop imposing on the hapless male lead. Also, she has a pet snow leopard running amok for most of the movie. (The dialogue is the best part, with a spitfire repartee you simply don't see any more.)


Do what you will; but I will hinder it if I may.
