Asked my kids who are teenagers now.For once it was a unanimous decision which is rare !
Dumb and Dumber

I watched Return to Oz last night on Disney+. Loved it as a kid, still quite a fun movie

 

[nickyboy]

I'd suggest The Human Centipede but it's ruled out as it isn't from 80s

That's the same one I was thinking about
Hey what's a decade between forum members

Return of the Living Dead has a great soudtrack, and "comedy" horror.

Slightly more seriously, the Addams Family were 90s, (but a good watch).

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Princess Bride

Once we leave the EU, it will* be illegal or a child to reach voting age without being shown these.

(*at least that's what my local MEP told me - must be true)

I'm so glad you said that! I was going to add something about them being compulsory viewing or that not making your kid watch them is a form of criminal offence or something... but I couldn't find an internet-friendly way of saying it

Nothing wrong with indoctrination of minors; as long it's not some tasteless moron doing it.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Another one, although I found it very scary at the time, is Clash Of the Titans which happens to be on BBC1 today at 1.45.
Let’s just say SFX have moved along a bit in the last 40 years but still a good watch!

I was going to suggest Young Guns but I just looked it up and it's an 18. Not sure why, I don't remember it being that bad, even the prostitution scene is just cuddling. Lots of people get shot I suppose.

Three Amigos for Comedy Western
Dead Poets Society for pure movie class

 

[Reynard]

Hmm... Also Sister Act and Coming to America - both *very* funny...
