In my opinion, this was the best Batman movie ever made. The performances, the direction and sheer comical effects, truly grabbed the gritty nature of the comic book hero, for a late 80's production.

I'm Too Old For This Shit
Lethal Weapon- is a classic late 80's action flick. This, Die Hard, Terminator, Rambo, all came out in the 80's. Anethor action franchise, that came out and started in the 80's. Catchy one liners, good action, good comedy, good adventure, and of course good actors.

The plot: Following the death of his wife, Los Angeles police detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) becomes reckless and suicidal. When he is reassigned and partnered with Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), Riggs immediately clashes with the older officer. Together they uncover a massive drug-trafficking ring. As they encounter increasingly dangerous situations, Riggs and Murtaugh begin to form a bond. Riggs' volatile behavior might just help them apprehend the criminals -- if it doesn't kill them both first.

What a good way to start off a franchise, hopefully the other ones are good too.
  
Broforce
Broforce
Action/Adventure
Technical issues aside, Broforce is a delightfully chaotic love letter to the brightly-colored excesses of 80’s action movie carnage and coin op shooters.
Critic- Neil Bolt
Original Score: 7.5 out of 10

Being that I grew up in the 80's, this movie was one of my tops
I don't know how somebody couldn't like this movie but that's probably my rose colored glasses talking. I still love watching this movie probably once a year.
  
Masters of the Universe (1987)
Masters of the Universe (1987)

Over the top action film as He-Man and his fighters end up on earth as Skeletor searches for a key to make him all powerful. Not bad for an 80's comic book action film. Worth a watch for grown up fans.

Oof. I get the draw. Cram a ton of your favorite 80's trivia into a futuristic plot and call it a day. And it is great fun knowing the things the characters praise as obscure puzzles and information. But there are problems. 1) Without the nostalgia of vomiting 80's references, there's little to glean from the story itself. 2) The <b>extremely</b> problematic relationship that the hero pursues that gives a platform for incel's everywhere. 3) An action oriented plot that kind of just sputters out. Rough finish. Great story if you see toxic online behavior as "misunderstood," though.

A strange film, that seems totally random at times. It has a bit of an insight to the lives of a range of people in early 80's LA. From the spoilt rich kids, drugged up pop star, shady ex-con and a news reporter. The stories are very loosely interwoven. This is far from being anything like Crash though! There doesn't seem to be much of a plot to it at all or any conclusion. Just a brief look at their lives full of sex, drugs and 80's pop. A shame given the very strong cast list!

One of the best modern westerns
This movie is exceptional in the western genre. I tend to judge most westerns against it if they were made after the 80's. This one sets the bar and it sets it very high.
