Movies that take you back.

[Joshua Randall]

Man, how could I forget Clash of the Titans. "Release... the Kraken."

Dang. Now I want to see that movie. Darn you, CrusaderX!

Dumb and Dumber: "Pretty bird, pretty bird..." I almost fell out of my seat seeing this with my brother. He was keeping his sides from splitting.

Weird. I, too, saw this with my brother, and was literally on the floor of the theater during the snowball fight scene. The first and only time I've ever laughed so hard I unseated myself. The entire movie was pure comic genius.

I could add to this list...but everything is here. In fact, I can't THINK of more. I'm not thinking well, of course, because more great ones will undoubtedly be posted. But MAN I want to watch Clash of the Titans again...

A few more to add...

Dumb & Dumber: I saw this movie in the theater, and I don't think I've ever laughs so much over the course of 2 hours in my life. Pure comedic gold.

Monster Squad: "Wolfman has nards!"

Clash of the Titans: I rented this movie and watched it with my cousin for my 8th birthday. Absolutely wonderful.

Weird Science: Two geeks create the perfect woman on their computer, hilarity ensues. A great 1980s comedy flick.

Great choices! Here are three more (32)

a) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
b) The Princess Bride

If you don't know all the lines to these two, you need to turn in your gamer card.

c) The Thing (John Carpenter version 1982, NOT the 1950's version). It had great special effects for its time, and was just well done, and I saw it when I was a little kid and my best friend, who had seen it already, knew JUST when to scare me by attacking me while the movie was on a certain scene. Great times (that bastard! ).

War Games: All the old computers in this movie remind me of the days of Commodore 64s and arcade classics like Galaga.

Definitely on my list, in fact me (aged to perfection at 24) and my roommate just watched it recently. For a good laugh, try to read as many of the scenario names at the end when WOPR is analyzing all the different outcomes. Guaranteed to be hilarious.

On my personal list, but maybe not anyone else's, is Stand By Me. It was the first serious movie I'd ever seen and it made quite the impression on me.

Cool thread!!! I am 29 years old.

Conan the Barbarian and even Conan the Destroyer (we're talking nostalgia value not production value, right?!)
All Indiana Jones and Star Wars trilogy
Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Beastmaster, Goonies, Ladyhawke, Krull, UHF, Star Trek II-V, Fletch, the Sword & the Sorcerer and a host of others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
