Best and Worst of 80's Movies

A new list to add to my TV list below.

BEST MOVIE ABOUT SKIPPING SCHOOL: Ferris Beuller's Day Off (1986)

WORST MOVIE ABOUT SKIPPING SCHOOL: I didn't see any of them, but I'm sure the teenage sex comedies of the early and mid-eighties did much of this. Pick one. Any one. Pick all of them for this award.

BEST HARRISON FORD MOVIE: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).

WORST HARRISON FORD MOVIE: Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom (1984)

BEST MOVIE ABOUT A SUMMER CAMP: There were none.

WORST MOVIE ABOUT A SUMMER CAMP: Take your pick. the various Meatballs sequels. Ernest Goes to Camp (1987). Any Friday the 13th movie. Thats just a start.

BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE: A Christmas Story (1983). Runner-up: Scrooged (1988).

WORST CHRISTMAS MOVIE: I didn't see it, but I have a strong hunch that Silent Night, Deadly Night (198?) would fit here. Runner-up: I didn't see this one either, but I heard that the Dudley Moore move Santa Claus: The Movie (198?) was a turkey as well.

BEST MOVIE STARRING ANDRE THE GIANT IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: The Princesss Bride (1987).

WORST MOVIE STARRING ANDRE THE GIANT IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: I don't remember him in any other movie, but probably if he was in another movie, it was bad.

BEST SPORTS MOVIE OF THE 80's: This is a tie between Hoosiers (1986) and Field of Dreams (1989).

WORST SPORTS MOVIE OF THE 80's: Eight Men Out (1988) is not really that bad, but it is long and boring.

BEST SUPER HERO MOVIE OF THE 80's: Superman II (1981). Better than the first one was. One of the best superhero movies of all time.

WORST SUPER HERO MOVIE OF THE 80's: Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). It's sad to see a great franchise fall so far in such a short time. I didn't see it, but I heard that Supergirl (1984) was a disaster as well.

That's all I have time to blog about right now.
