I think the history of cinema and art is an experience for the next generations of films that are being made and as upgraded industry progresses, hearing the memorable music of previous years can be more interesting than seeing repetitive films....

So glad to hear 'Cutter's Way' mentioned! I'd never even heard of it when I saw it on an acquaintance's recommendation about ten years ago, and it became one of my favorites.

I also loved the last line of 'Birdy'!

I guess I'm about four years older than Drew, so that was my youth too, for better or worse. I couldn't stand all the schlock of the era, but I agree that, looking back, there was often more than met the eye.

Wow, it's hard to believe it takes so much time to write each of these films.

Lover of the 80's as an '82 baby and the main films you've mentioned Goonies, Back to the Future, Terminator, Predator, Beverly Hills Cop are still favourites of mine to this day! I dare anyone to try and say that the 80's wasn't the best era for movies!
