Predator.

Ghostbusters.

You definitely need some slasher movies, maybe Friday the 13th 3 or Nightmare on Elm Street 3

Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2.
Yes I'm serious.

Fucking. A.

Seconded. The original is a horror classic but TCM 2 is a much better movie for watching with friends. So off the rails and batshit insane.

Why would anyone think you're not serious?

It's a great sequel.

I thought it was better than the original

Back to the Future
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Rocky III
Rocky IV
Scarface
Top Gun

Cause some scrubs like me avoid most horror sequels. esp when they change directors.

I'm gonna check it out now though.

Ghostbuster
Raiders
Rocky III
Any random episode of Miami Vice

Manhunter

evil dead 2

>Bad Boys (with Sean Penn)

Hell yeah

That and terminator 2 -- the best action screenplays ever written

Manhunter (1986)

Not a single mention of Lethal Weapon 1 or 2, or Midnight Run yet... Pathetic.

Excalibur

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

...

I love Lethal Weapon 2.

The only thing I would put up against it would be Mad Max and the Road Warrior as low budget/brilliant writing masterpieces

Fuck you, get out. Get the fuck out, adults are talking.

...

Not just essential, but NECESSARY

...

ET
Poltergeist
Rambo
Scarface
Jaws
Back to the future
The goonies
the Indiana Jones Trilogy
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Yes.

This DVD is sitting 2 feet from me right now and I still forgot to mention it.

Fantastic film.

Tobe Hooper directed the first and second TCM movies.

GENTLEMEN

Why did he mean by that?

Jaws came out in 1975, you unimaginable turdburglar.

ESB was 1980, barely counts.

Can we agree that it's simply unfair that Die Hard is remembered as a Christmas movie but Lethal Weapon is neglected?

Cutting calories.

YOOOOOO!

The Fly
The Bounty (amazing soundtrack plus great film)
To Live and Die in LA

Faggot.

well then I'm definitely a scrub.

had no clue. figured it was a cash-in like so many other horror sequels,

sequels in general actually

Hard Ticket to Hawaii

You will smile for 90 minutes

youtu.be/Gw-yr1NWdiw

Not really. In DH, Christmas figured into the plot. In LW, not so much.

TITTAYS

GOAT soundtrack.

Airplane!
Top Secret!
Breakfast club
Weird Science
This is Spinal Tap
The Naked Gun
Police Academy
Big
Who framed Roger Rabbit

I'll be fair by saying that it really is a rarity.

I'm glad i'm not the only one boggled by that scene.

Ahh, the 1980s. The golden age of movies with punctuation in the title.

That blew a microchip in my brain when I first saw it. Still baffles me to this day.

>cash-in

In 2017, yes probably.

In the 1980s sequels actually were approximately the quality of the original. Nowadays you don't get a shitty cash-in until the director has gone 20 years in between without any other hits.

Christmas fit into the plot of Lethal Weapon as much as it does for Die Hard...

In the beginning Riggs is buying drugs at a Christmas tree lot. Hunsaker is drinking eggnot out of a carton when he gets killed. There's Christmas decorations up at random places. The Murtaugh's house is decorated for Christmas. Riggs ends up spending Christmas with the Murtaughs... Loads of Christmas related things in the plot. Just cause Die Hard literally takes place at a Christmas party doesn't mean it's more Christmas because the party could have been any kind of party.

It's kind of crazy to think that Hellraiser II came out one year after Hellraiser.

No. Fuck you. user is correct.

Um, most of that isn't plot, it's set decoration. Riggs spending Christmas with the Murtaughs doesn't even relate to the plot unless one of the shoot-outs happened while Riggs was there. The rest is entirely inconsequential to the plot, are you fucking retarded.

Christmas as essential to the Die Hard plot, it was the whole reason the bad guys were there, because security staff would be minimal.

What? No The Thing?
Unacceptable.

This and The Great Muppet Caper, fo' sho'.

Tango and Cash(Stallone and Kurt Russell)

>he thinks a character drinking a specific beverage is a plot point

Unless that beverage is poisoned, no.

John Carpenter

Paul Verhoeven

John Hughes

National Lampoon

rewatched Aliens this year. it sucks. Like really sucks. I couldn't even finish it.

The miniature work was laughable

>I unironically like the sequel with McConaheyyy

...

Fine. Not cash-in.

But did you see nightmare on elm street 2?

sorry, but it doesn't hold up at all.

A movie set during Christmas is still technically a Christmas movie. I'm sorry that you think Die Hard is better than Lethal Weapon cause you have shit taste.

Nobody's mentioned Roadhouse? Damn.

Pic related. Comfy af...

I love John carpenter and Kurt Russell, but I didn't like this movie.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

maybe you should try loving it because it loves you

...

I don't need to watch the shit I'm living

Goonies
Pretty in Pink
Repo Man
Real Genius

Midnight Run is great but it kind of feels more like a general classic than being so 80s. Maybe it's the setting or something.

The Road Warrior

The theme of redemption, a common theme for practically anything Christmas related (see: A Christmas Carol) is present in both Die Hard and Lethal weapon. I think it's fair to say that they're both equally Christmas movies, if they actually qualify.

80's were pretty awful overall but there were some decent foreign films

But why the gun cleaning equipment in the Egg cartridge in the freezer

Revenge of the Nerds!!!
