and it's even more stupid for the remake when they cast North Korea (due to marketing reasons not China) in the role of bad guy. North Korea probably couldn't take over Canada.

It had the only realistic explosion in the distance scene I remember in movie history. Then some geniuses must've "cleaned it up" so that you can hear the explosion a mile away immediately instead of obviously later.

It wasn't when it was made. Only after they made the others, it was renamed. Similar to how Star Wars was just "A New Hope" before the other movies were made.

I think you got that backwards. A New Hope was just called Star Wars when it first came out. Otherwise the franchise would probably be called A New Hope.

In my opinion, four of these movies are great (Raiders, Reservoir Dogs, RoboCop, and Rocky). Rain Man was okay. Rush Hour had some fun moments, but I didn't think it was that funny overall. Revenge of the Nerds hasn't aged well at all. Rango was good. The Ring was fine. Rambo was dumb, but still somewhat enjoyable. Red Dawn was also dumb. Rudy was fine for what it was. And Road House was not very good. I haven't seen the rest.

Road House is among the best bad movies of all-time. The villain is so impossibly, cartoonishly evil that it defies even the suspension of disbelief. It's a podunk town with a population of 200...yet somehow the bar is packed with 600 people every night, and the ER doctor is of course an absolute stunner that in reality you'd never find outside New York or Paris. Patrick Swayze had carte blanche after the success of Dirty Dancing to make any movie he wanted, and he chose to make one in which he rips out a man's throat with his bare hands. One of the villains drives a monster truck around town like it's a Volvo. When the hot doctor asks Swayze what he studied in college, he literally says without irony "Man's search for faith." It's like they went out of their way to make the dumbest, most Neanderthalian choice in every possible instance. It's magical. I have watched it 200 times and intend to watch it another 500 times before I die.

I kind of liked Rebel Without A Cause, but it is also such a silly and ridiculous movie. Two teenagers drive perfectly good cars off a cliff for no reason, the bad guy dies, then that guy's girlfriend becomes James Dean's girlfriend within like a day.

7/18 are from the 80's with another 5 from the 90's, so the quiz ends up being a bit limited in scope. I think it reflects the quizmaster's personal tastes a bit much.

'80s culture seems to have the most staying power among the decades. The mainstream music, TV shows, and movies emphasized really simple premises with strong and relatable themes, and everything had a slick production that makes it very easy to digest...but it wasn't yet quite as mechanized as what studios are producing now. The '80s are not my prime decade, but I think they're probably the safest bet for media that most people are familiar with. Just one man's opinion.
