the explorers (thumbs up)

I'd forgotten about that movie until this thread.
Absolutely loved it as a kid.
I typed the plot into google trying to figure out the name, then saw you'd already watched it.

EDIT: It's available to watch free on Vudu with ads.  Also on Netflix.
I'm sorry, Explorers is an awesome movie until you actually meet the aliens, then it quickly develops into a studio mandated suckfest.

Oh hells yes!  Greatest 80's movie ever made in the history of everything.

On paper it's the greatest film ever made.  You like actors?  It has the best actor, Orson Wells in a starring role.  Like music?  Well Stan Busch, Spectre General and Lion do the soundtrack.  Like parody music?  It has the best parody musician, Weird Al, doing a track.  How about SciFi?  The best scifi actor, Leonard Nimoy, is also in a starring role.  Like people who talk fast?  Well the guy in Guinness, for the fastest speech also does a voice.  How about popular actors?  Well Judd Nelson is in it.  Voice actors?  Well the best voice actor, Frank Welker, does several roles. 

Seriously I know the Transformers were big back in the day, but I still don't know how they pulled that off.  I'm guessing bag after bag of money.

 Besides the greats already listed...
 I started sifting through my brain...  and then moved on to some lists to help me remember some titles.
No time to really sort them...  and some are not for 'kids'... depending on the age of the kid.

 Anything with a  " * "   Is something special, IMO.    Not always widely popular... but really good, and should be watched.
 Anything with a  " ? "   Means I cant remember how good it was... or if its not kid related.

 - Big Trouble In Little China
 * Remo Williams the Adventure Begins  (Great comedy and action combo)
 - The Last Dragon
 * 36th Chamber of Shaolin  (not from 80s...  but is a must watch.   Watch the english dub version on this one)

 * Drive (Dacascos - 1987)   (Marks moves in this film are pretty damn fly.  Starts a little cheesy.. but by the end, one should really enjoy it)
 - Red Scorpion?
 - Red Heat?
 - Kickboxer
 - Tiger Claws?
 - Highlander
 - Bloodsport
 - Roadhouse


 - Flash Gordon

 - A Christmas Story
 - Scrooged
 - Overboard

 - Red Dawn
 - 48 Hours

 * Stand and Deliver  (Powerful real life tale,  that inspires)
 - Pretty in Pink
 - The Witches of Eastwick
 - Footloose
 - Fletch / Fletch Lives
 - Romancing the Stone

 
* They Live   (great classic,   that in many ways mirrors our leaderships inner workings!  :P  )
 - War Games
 - The Wraith?
 - Iron Eagle
 - Top Gun
 - Labyrinth
 - Indiana Jones (all)
 - Big
 - The Blues Brothers
 - Crocodile Dundee(s)
 - The Great Outdoors
 - Batman
 - Lethal Weapon
 - The Golden Child
 - Cocoon
 - Amadeus?
 
 - A view to a Kill
 - Back to School
 - Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure
 * Black Rain  (Great action / drama  - of an American cop,  working in Japan)
 
 * Crossroads (Ralf Macchio of Karate Kid fame.   Has an EPIC guitar battle at the end - against Steve Vai)
 - The Goonies
 - Jumpin Jack Flash
 - Just one of the Guys?
 - My Stepmother is an Alien

 - Running Scared?
 - Summer Rental (John Candy)
 - Tango and Cash
 - Major League
 - Clash of the Titans
 - Ghandi ?

 * Gotcha!    (A lesser known title, that is really great.  A lighter-hearted action - spy  thriller  )
 - Spies Like Us
 - The Jewel of the Nile
 - Cloak and Dagger

 - The Manhattan Project
 - The Philidelphia Experiment ?
 - All of Me ?

 - Gung Ho?

 - Alien Nation?

 - Breakin  /  Breakin II  ?
 - Mom and Dad save the world?

 - Night of the Comet
 - The Shining!
 - The Lost Boys
 - Once Bitten

 * Tucker:  The man and his dreams   (Great drama about the creator of the great Tucker Automobile,  ...destroyed by outside corruption)
 * Fright Night
 * warlock  (Not sure if this is as well known as I suspect.  Very cool film. Not as scary as witchboard, but has a great feel to it)
 * witchboard  (scary flick last I remember.  A great ride)

I thought of one that's a rather deep cut and I'm not sure if children are supposed to watch it, but for whatever reason me and my grandma watched it when I was a kid and we about died laughing. 

Lightning Jack. 

It's Paul Hogan's other movie besides the Dundee films.  He's in the old west with a mute Cuba Gooding Jr.  Really under-rated.

Or the reverse movie, Quigley Down Under, with Tom Hanks Selleck in the outback during the late 1800s

Alan Rickman is the villain, because of course he would be.

Edit:  Thanks Scott!  Yeah, no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that lol

Reliving 80's movies is like having a threesome - sometimes fun but never as good as you imagined it in your head...

Bloodsport came on a couple months ago and I insisted the GF and I watch it, since it was "like, the best movie ever" in my head.  Well, I ruined that fond memory.  Sadly I will never get to say "OMG, Bloodsport was so awesome!" again.

Granted, some classics will always be great, and sometimes the quality of the movie was in how cheesy it was.  But use caution when trying to show your kids how cool the 80's were..

There are a few worth waiting until your kids are in high school to show them.. 16 Candles and Breakfast Club are two of the greats, and if you want to make an 80's fan out of a teenager, show them movies they will relate to.

I watched "My Neighbor Totoro" with my cousin back in the 80's and I watch it with my 3 kids today. (11, 6, and 3yrs) It's a great fantasy adventure type of movie that also has a bit of scary drama in it. It's hilarious when in one part of the movie he roars and the kids roar in concert back.

i recommend watching the Fox version though, not the re-redubbed Disney version. Dakota Fannings voice grates ---my bottom--- and makes my ears bleed. (actually I would recommend watching the original japanese voiced and subtitled version but that's just me)


if you like the film, i'd honestly recommend any of the Studio Ghibli collection mainline. (Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away.) They are all great and my kids love them.

Tried time bandits last night--we only got about 20 minutes in and they lost interest--The accents were pretty heavy for them I guess--and I don't think they got subtle british humour.  We just settled on a marathon of gravity falls--great cartoon!
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

---fudgesicle--- yes! It has one of the best storylines I've seen on television in some time (yes, even up against some live action series). It features a lot of great voice talent, plus it's only two seasons, so it doesn't take long to finish either.

The '80s started in 1973 and continued on until roughly 1998.  Kids are baby goats and they are ---smurfing--- adorable.  Have you seem them in little jackets?  Oh. My. Gawd.

On the flipside, sometimes movies are even better than I remember.  Road House being a prime example.  Gets better every time I watch it.

This thread inspired me to finally read The Neverending Story.  The movie is actually a reasonably faithful adaptation that stops abruptly halfway through the book.

So is the sequel the other half, or does it totally go off script?

I woke up earlier than usual on Saturday morning and Remo Williams was just coming on TV.
Normally I wouldn't have acknowledged it, but thanks to this thread I half watched it while making breakfast and cleaning the living room.
Good stuff.  I have a feeling I'm going to catch a lot of these movies on the oddball non-network antenna channels that I get.
Of course they'll be in standard definition 4:3 format, but that just adds to the nostalgia.  :)

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is such a relatable character and was adored by everyone.  Even Private Pyle had to give him a present by the end of the first half of the movie..

When I was in high school I would walk into art class and ask who the baddest man in the land was....  Sho nuff!

A nerd at everything else, but I kick Art's ass.  ;)

The guy asks for movies suitable for 9 and 10 year olds and you're all mostly listing movies aimed at teenagers or above.

Breakfast Club? Seriously? Do you want his kids to fear entering High School?

NO MORE!!

Quote from my post.  It helps to read the whole thing and not skim it for titles:

There are a few worth waiting until your kids are in high school to show them.. 16 Candles and Breakfast Club are two of the greats, and if you want to make an 80's fan out of a teenager, show them movies they will relate to.
The 80's for me was from age 11-20.  My favorite movies from the era are probably not all going to be suitable for a 9 year old.  There was a lot of cheese in the 80's, and only a handful of titles that hold up to the nostalgia.  I'm finding that out as I am building my media collection up.  Better Off Dead, 16 Candles, Breakfast Club, Vacation... All great movies even after 30 years, but I wouldn't show them to a youngster..  Then again, you get worse stuff on Disney channel these days.

Yes, the Sandlot that came out in 1993 is my favorite movie from the 1980s!  >:D


Hey there were other 90's movie on other lists. Still a great movie for kids. My 9 year old daughter loves it.

Becoming a teacher ruined The Breakfast Club for me for a while there.
