Best Films of 1987

Void of most of the things that worked in the first.

Likely the worst Disney Animation movie made. The lowest point in their history. Lucky for us, they got their shit together...

A Woody Allen dud. Is presented like a very long one act play. Filled with annoying characters.
Still, I can't help deny his often likable penchant for dialogue.

A likely forgettable Woody Allen film.

A classic, low-brow 80s adventure basically only kids will like.

The Rocky of arm wrestling

The first Ernest movie I ever saw could still be the best

A classic for many a women; but alas I am a man.

Possibly the worst 007 film.

Scottish absurdity at its finest.

Morgan Freeman is the only thing memorable about this movie and it's very memorable

Depressing but so rightfully moody in that 80s sort of way.

A noir detective story that mixes 1980s production with 1950s setting quite nicely. Rourke is entertaining and De Niro makes his few scenes memorable.

Snap out of it, people, Cher is not funny but this well-written romantic comedy at least gives her a chance at some quality acting.

The sequel more ridiculous than the first and ultimately better.

Classic 80s comedy with three actors who helped define the era. It doesn't hold up one bit, but as long as you look at it through an 80s lens it can be entertaining.

People are Strange

I loved the chipmunks as a kid and this was an epic adventure all right

Not a hill Fats Domino would sing about.

Weird and silly but somehow watchable without explanation

Classic Hughes script with 80s cliches abound.

"I'll be back" - The first time of many Arnold self-imitation quotes.
I finally got to watching this 80s action classic. And wow, is it an 80s movie! It's so bad and yet so good. Definitely a guilty pleasure. Schwarzenegger was so likable back then.

Stewart is one of my all-time favorites, as an actor and human. This documentary, hosted and narrated by Johnny Carson, does a very fine job of telling his story.

A movie that will always put me in the Christmas spirit. It brings not only The Muppets together, but their friends from Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock!

Possibly the most misunderstood and unfairly panned movie of all time. Honestly, give it a shot, you might be surprised.

Director: John McTiernan
His 2nd movie
My 7th movie watched from the director

Wow, finally a movie that has been on my list for honestly twenty years, and here we are! It mostly lives up to the expectations. A lot of alpha male dialogue and action with all the characters getting killed off one-by-one.
It is a delight to see but also a sad reminder of how these types of movies no longer get any mainstream attention.
The one part that was actually kind of disappoint was "Get to the chopper!" as it's a hugely popular line from this movie, but in the scene it feels like just another line from Arnold. Doesn't actually stand out and not as intense as I expected.

Location: Costa Rica

Hanks and Aykroyd make a fun team in this decent 80s cop comedy.

Outrageous and addicting as a kid.

Glen Close plays crazy pretty well.

A true epic, showing the long development of a country i feel I still know little about.
