Special like Holly Sherwood and Laurie Sargent vocals; motorcycle gangs; gritty cityscapes, and one on one duels of honor with sledgehammers. Oh yeah, and Diane Lane, who was hotter than Claudia Wells. By a lot.
>Motorcycle gangs >Gritty city scapes >70s
Well, now I know you're an idiot. Thanks for clarifying.

Motorcycle gangs are 60s, when do you think easy rider was made?
City scapes in film did become vastly more gritty in the US in the 70s after everyone started doing drugs and dropped out and there was an oil crisis.
>In another time, another place...
It's very anachronistic. Lots of different eras mashed together into a brilliant piece of turn-your-brain-off storytelling that fits right in with the decade it was released.
>Brewster's Millions is a remake of a movie from 1945
No its just a loose adaptation of the novel. As I vaguely recall there are like ten film adaptations of it.
Yes and it's still a very 80s remake and adaptation.

WarGames is a 1983 American techno-thriller film[2] directed by John Badham, written by Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes, and starring Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, Ally Sheedy, John Wood and Barry Corbin. Broderick plays David Lightman, a young computer hacker who unwittingly accesses a United States military supercomputer programmed to simulate, predict and execute nuclear war against the Soviet Union, triggering a false alarm that threatens to start World War III. The film premiered at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival, and was released by MGM/UA Entertainment on June 3, 1983.
Footloose homosexual
Not even close. Thanks for playing
Getting warmer. But even those two lack something special.
Special like Rain Man?

And it's not a musical. It has banger music in it. Because sometimes movies have music in them, in case you had forgotten.
That doesn't make it quintessential 80s core, Wall Street is much more 80s that SoF.
yeah but its not a musical as I recall and the music and whatever is actually the only thing 80s about it that I vaguely recall.
And motorcycle gangs were huge in the 50s too. The Wild One (1953) starring Marlon Brando
So Peewee's Big Adventure?
kung fury
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Even has Dokken in it.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
But doesnt that have like a ton of 50s stuff in it? Isn't that mostly what it is?

Amazing production design but everything is so 50/60s styled that it doesn't feel as 80s as it might. It's Black Rain for me.
Now we're getting somewhere. Good post, anon.
I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE MY WAY

IT'S THE STRONGEST HEARTS THEY SAY

this movie is set in an alternative 60s with a fricking doo wop group and guys with pompadours, it's not that 80s.
>Brewster's Millions
>Red Heat
>48hrs
Literally any other Walter Hill movie from that decade is a better choice.
It's not even top 3. O
Brewster's Millions is a remake of a movie from 1945 from a novel written in 1902.
>Star Wars is a samurai movie.
That's how moronic you sound
No, its a better fit for an immediately post depression world.
>Brewster's Millions is a remake of a movie from 1945
No its just a loose adaptation of the novel. As I vaguely recall there are like ten film adaptations of it.
Yea throughout many decades because it is not essential 80s.
Yes and it's still a very 80s remake and adaptation.
Maximum Overdrive

No, there is really nothing specifically 80s about it, it could have taken place any time in the 20th century.
Shows how little you know. The 80s were OBSESSED with 50s shit like doowop groups, rockabilly and Elvis.

Pain don't hurt.
