It's something I realized before... ironclad Send a noteboard - 09/10/2011 04:15:49 PM


I guess I'll just give the others a pass, accept that Indiana Jones isn't for me, and move on to other classics that I haven't seen yet, and that hopefully I'll find more deserving. Though somehow I doubt too many will be from the '80s, true. :P I do love Breakfast Club, and some others from that decade I'm sure, but I can't think of many.


In some cases in which I showed 80s-born girlfriends of mine those great movies of that decade they didn't see around their release, they didn't really "get" a couple of them, mostly the comedies. Maybe it's one of the "you had to be there" cases.

It's absolutely stunning for me how someone can not feel like a little boy adventuring through a world of wonders when watching Raiders. It has an atmosphere later films of similar themes, maybe even better effects, like The Mummy, never achieved.
It's that warm fuzzy feeling inside that I get from every single Spielberg film made between 1975 and 1984. Someone saying those are not good films for me is akin to someone claiming the sun doesn't hurt your eyes when you look into it.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

This one might get some discussion going... we can hope. So I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark. Legolas - 07/10/2011 10:32:19 PM 676 Views

Obviously I was always going to miss out on the nostalgia factor. But even so. Legolas - 07/10/2011 11:09:15 PM 434 Views
I can't actually remember when I first saw it. Nate - 07/10/2011 11:18:10 PM 482 Views
Probably the difference between being a great example of the genre and pioneering it. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/10/2011 12:03:38 AM 155 Views

I love the Mummy, but one reason why you shouldn't compare the two movies Roland00 - 08/10/2011 02:52:04 AM 405 Views
I've noticed your difficulties with recognizing the important and great films of the 80s before ironclad - 08/10/2011 03:19:37 PM 426 Views
I knew you'd appreciate my post. Legolas - 08/10/2011 08:42:58 PM 484 Views

Better writing? Better lead actor? *NM* Palatine - 08/10/2011 05:34:12 PM 248 Views
The latter is debatable, actually. As for the former: yeah, right. *NM* Legolas - 08/10/2011 08:36:49 PM 147 Views

It's just an illustration of how things can be more than the sum of their parts. Cannoli - 11/10/2011 01:38:36 AM 492 Views
