If we're going to compare great 80s movies...

Stand By Me

vs.

The Goonies

Stand By Me.

Who doesn't want to see Wes Crusher get a leech in his pants !

I only know that character because of Big Bang Theory.

There's only one reason people enjoy Weird Science.

Ok it's more like two

The reason is that it's funny.

I thought that was one of your Things That Piss Me Off rants. Canned emo under other people adulting.

Real Genius > Weird Science

Stand by Me and The Goonies aren't really the same type of movies.

You know what's an 80's movie that doesn't get enough love? Lean on Me.

That movie is great.

My vote would have to go for Stand By Me.

The Producers (2005)

better than Spaceballs

Was that the original movie, the musical of the movie or the movie of the musical of the original movie ?

Watch the original. Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel are great in it.

Never heard of Innerspace until now. Spaceballs is a classic.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3417 on:** September 28, 2016, 02:30:08 PM »

I used to think so until I tried re watching it recently and I couldn't get through it.

Orbert · « **Reply #3418 on:** September 28, 2016, 02:57:19 PM »

I think part of the problem with Spaceballs is that it's not just a Mel Brooks comedy, it's a satire of a specific movie. Blazing Saddles still cracks me up every time because it's a parody of Westerns in general, and racism, and Hollywood, and so on. But by targeting Star Wars, the humor is much more limited in scope, depends on knowledge of the original source (which admittedly isn't really a huge problem) and whether the viewer hasn't heard the same jokes 1000 times already.

I too remember liking Spaceballs a lot -- it was one of the first VHS tapes I got, way back when -- but when it comes round on TV, I can watch about five minutes of it before I have to change the channel.

T-ski · « **Reply #3419 on:** September 28, 2016, 03:02:11 PM »

if you can, listen to the commentary while watching Spaceballs. if memory serves, it's quite entertaining.

Exactly. The guy that played Wyatt was an atrocious actor, but Anthony Michael Hall was great, and every scene with Bill Paxton was pure awesomeness.

"You two donkey dicks couldn't get laid in a morgue." Still one of my favorite lines from any comedy ever.

I just watched Real Genius thanks to this thread. Another classic '80s movie. I didn't like the wiener kid so much, but Val Kilmer's character was great. It had so many good one liners too.

Ghostbusters 2016 - I thought it was funny sometimes. It never felt like a Ghostbusters film though. With a different title and removing Ghostbusters references, it could hold its own as a good comedy. It was forced often, but totally different which I can respect. Besides Leslie Jones, the leads' comedic improvisation chops weren't on. The delivery of the jokes were bad. It was obvious that they were improvising, in contrast to the original where you had no idea they were improvising.

I wouldn't recommend renting it. But, I recommend checking it out when it's playing on cable for free.

Popstar - Never stop never stopping

I liked it, it was a fun extended skit with the Lonely Island guys and quite enjoyable. Fun pisstake on the popstar phenomenon and its culture.
