Last week we explored technological innovations in film. It came down to a handful of entries but Spielberg’s velociraptors won again. And since this is only my second win I’d figured I’d ask a question with lots of potential angles to choose from:
What is the most 80’s movie ever?
Fight it out.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?
Know someone who’d like to join as well? Let them know about us. The more fighters the better. Discounted rates are available for groups of four or more…perhaps sign up your family and friends as a gift.
I've been debating between a few. Breakin, Karate Kid, Midnight Madness, and Valley Girl are at the top of list for all the 80'sness in hideous Venice Beach style clothing, and groovy top-40 music. But there is one movie that is so 80's upon rewatch it transports me back to summer days on the west coast, and that's not a good thing.
Rocky III
Eye of the Tiger, short shorts, Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, The Muppet Show, video arcades - it hits all the notes.
And the winner (despite Kris' two bonus points) is Katie with Back to the Future. Congratulations, Katie, you get to choose Monday's question.
