Yay! An 80's list with one I haven't seen.  (Wall Street).

So no one puts our Rev in a corner *waves money*

Lethal Weapon 2 

Supposed to be the grand anti-South African film of all time but it failed as, high age restriction notwithstanding, it was the South African box office hit of the year. Showing two things (apart from two fingers at the filmmakers): South Africans appreciate a good action movie - which I admit, it was - and that South Africans can laugh at themselves, even if all the usual all-SA's-are-racists-and-have-weird-accents-and-manners stereotypes are on display.

Never seen all of DIRTY DANCING (yeech!), LETHAL WEAPON 2, WALL STREET, the NEVERENDING STORY,GOOD MORNING VIETNAM, HIGHLANDER, or BILL AND TED.

I was with a girl at the time, so I was forced to watch some of it. I got real drunk and passed out, so I never finished it, thank the Lords of Liquor.

Blanche: Girls have you ever heard of something called dirty dancing?
Dorothy: Of course Blanche, they did it in that movie!
Rose: What movie?
Dorothy: LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, Rose.

UGH! Looks like old labia!

[Allhallowsday]

19. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)   -   Probably saw it, but don't remember so it's the only one I am unsure if I've seen. 

I like PATRICK SWAYZE so that would be why I'd ever watch that DIRTY DANCING again. 

I highly recommend THEY LIVE which is just wonderful gunk.  Real movie junkfood.
