I think Coneheads is solid, holds up well and doesn't really have that "this is such a 90's movie" feel.

Stakeout

Another good movie.

Some of you people need to READ the first word of the subject line over again. This isn't about GOOD 80s movies. It's about shitty movies you liked from the 80s.

Like if I said Solar Babies, Canonball Run, or Xanadu.

Tango and Cash is the ultimate action flick from the 80s as far as I'm concerned.

Good Movie

The Lawnmower Man

One of the first movies to use a GIANT pile of CGI.

The funny thing about that one is that the movie is based on a Stephen King story but has literally NOTHING to do with the short story. I mean nothing. They just wanted King's name attached to the film. He sued to have his name removed.

True, thus the person who said The Lawnmower Man, actually paid attention to the OP.

You say Toy Soldiers is a bad movie, but consider Stakeout good?

They're both entertaining and fun to watch, but...

Steel with Shaq

Such a bad movie. Stupid criminals should just shoot shaq in the face. What kind of a steel superman suit leaves your face completley exposed? Crazy!

Wrong person. I said nothing about Toy Soldiers.

But since you mention something with Toy in it, I guess I will toss out The Toy as a bad film that I loved.

I wonder why I liked that one was a youngster....
