I assure you, whatever the topic is, this is OFF that topic. 😉
In the chat on The IT Hour recently, the subject of movies came up. Mostly in the context of "If you watch these movies from the 80s @urvashi, your coworkers will make a lot more sense." I said I'd post a list, and hopefully either Urvashi or @BeckyScott can find the ones mentioned in the live chat. I'll post a few here that I think came up in conversation.
I believe this was to be an exchange, where Urvashi also recommends films for the uncultured heathens who have little to no experience with films from outside North America.
Disclaimers: This is my own list of films I adore that I enjoy sharing with other people. It is in no particular order, I just started with the ones I think we name checked and went from there.
- Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
- The Empire Strikes Back*
- The Goonies
- Stand By Me
- Tapeheads**
- The Princess Bride
- The Blues Brothers
- The Muppet Movie (I know it was 1979, it's my list and I'll allow it)
- Say Anything
- Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
- The Breakfast Club
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan*
- Blade Runner
- Alien
- Aliens
Honorable mentions because I decided 15 movies was a long list but I wasn't quite done:
- 9 to 5
- Karate Kid
- Tombstone (one of my most favorites but it's not an 80s movie, it was 1993)
- Pretty In Pink (I don't adore it but I have seen it a lot. We can discuss.)
- Beetlejuice
- Ghostbusters
- Back to the Future
* I figure most people have seen these by now, but if you haven't and you're only going to watch one film from the series, this is the one to watch.
** I love this movie so much and most people haven't heard of it. I talk about it kind of a lot.
