Oh, well... now you're back to being a regular guy... I used to think you were really cool, living in an alternate plane of reality where the victor drank deeply of the vanquished's life force. But no, you're just like the rest of us.

Anyone mention Apocolypse Now? Robert Duvall's best work.
Was Falling Down an 80's movie?

Falling Down was an 80's movie. But Apocolepse Now was a late 70's movie I believe. But you're correct, an excellent movie.

Falling Down wasn't 80's, it's copyrighted 1992 on the back of my dvd, listed as 93 on IMDB.com
Apocalypse Now was 1979.

C'mon, they're good enough for honorable mentions!

What about all-time really bad movies, not BA-AD like way-cool-bad, but bad, as in "FAIL" bad?
Examples: Dolomite, Mega Force (not only bad, but really awful special effects, especially the flying motorcycle).

Or does "All Time Worst Movies" deserve it's own spinoff?

80's
Vision Quest and Against All Odds. The 80's were the perfect combo of soundtracks and good cinema. Rock on brother!

I don't know all these tv shows and movies can be remembered. All I remember is a few girls and graduating from high school and starting college!
