The biggest missed opportunity was, that they didn’t put Mauser and Harris in one movie and see how they would get along with each other. Police academy 1-3 were the best movies, 2&3 mainly because of Mauser. But overall 2 is my favorite from these movies. Mauser, Harris and Mahoney were the best

I saw the second never ending story first as it was constantly on Disney when I was a kid, so I loved it. Then I developed a crush on Jonathan Brandis

Fantastic compilation of bad sequels. Loved the original Neverending Story. I didn't mind the second movie as a kid but its definitely weaker. The third film was just a lazy cashgrab.

I'm a big fan of Last Starfighter and Enemy Mine. The others are pretty good too, really. I would also put forward Space Hunter and Robot Jox as really good movies from the period that were overlooked. I don't even know if they ever made it to the top 10 list, but I think they deserve a little more attention.

I've only seen the first Caddyshack once and didn't find it all that great except for the chocolate bar in the pool scene and as an 80's comedy classic I'd have to disagree as it rarely gets shown on basic cable for it to be called "classic" and I've never seen or cared to see Caddyshack 2.

I prefer Caddyshack II to the original. The first Caddyshack has too much focus on the Danny character and those scenes are absolutely boring. I actually laughed more in Caddyshack II but I will admit I hated the Dan Aykroyd scenes in 2 as his character was absolutely annoying!!

I LOVED these films but I've still never seen 7. I also loved the cartoon

I can think of a 90s movie that was so bad it was a crime against cinema... THE SUPER MARIO MOVIE FROM 1993! it was so bad it was CRIMINAL!

I worked with Jesse James Richters dad in Vegas. I ran IT for the automall and Richters dad was a car salesman. This was in 2004 and his business card STILL said "Free Willy's Dad"

always a pleasure seeing your videos. said it before but lots of work and extensive information. really great.

I saw heman at the movies on the original release loved 😍 it.i miss Cannon movies 🎬 I really go to the cinema anymore

By definition a flop cannot be a blockbuster

Love Labyrinth! Just saw The Last Starfighter in August for the 40 year anniversary rerelease. I feel very lucky to have held off on watching it for years to be lucky enough to watch in theaters.

Brits need to learn where to put syllable emphasis with words.

The only good things about Ghostbusters is the theme song and Stay Puft.

I saw Masters of the Universe on tv and wow was I disappointed. At first it looked awesome: great costumes, awesome sets, really cool visuals, and while different from the cartoon, I quite liked it aaand... then they come to earth and the movie fell apart for me. Imagine if midway through Star Wars a strange portal appears and then Luke and Darth Vader get transported to New York and have a duel in some dark alley and we never get the attack on Deathstar sequences. That's how it felt.

Puppets freak me out, man. Nightmare fuel.

"Well done, sir!"👏👏👏

Bro, u speak quietly, and these sound effects are super loud, i have to lower and increase the volume every 5 sec

As a kid i liked this.

I could not stand this movie so didnt bother with the sequel

You want a Lost blockbuster of the 80s? Look to Legend. Tim Curry at his early prime.

The leadup to and the final battle of Masters of the Universe was fantastic. The timing of the music aligned with Dolph's "I have the powerrrrr", Frank Langrella's fantastic speech. It's like 100x as good as the rest of the movie.

he-man sucked

Garbage Pail Kids should get a proper reboot

Labyrinth, another film in a long legacy that showed how terrible the US landscape was towards actually good films. With its cultural success in the Commonwealth that some people still had taste.

I loved Labyrinth. David Bowie has the Goblin King was brilliant don’t forget the soundtrack. I have both The Last Starfighter and Enemy Mine on dvd and take them all out and watch them. I watched Masters of the Universe on the tv.

Sorry, can't help myself, but toward the end "Whether these movies actually need reboots is a matter of conjecture." Actually, no. Whether the movies will actually RECIEVE reboots is a matter of conjecture. Whether they NEED reboots is a matter of OPINION.

Benjamin Spicy, is that you??

It's terrible 80's cheese, but I like it!

Enemy Mine is an amazing movie. Was not a blockbuster and don't think it was ever meant to be. Last Starfighter is not forgotten by any stretch of the imagination.

My parents didn’t like it but all the teens love it, but we have the money. Also in my country there was a better received than in USA.

Labyrinth. I watched it so many times, I can repeat all the words by heart. It would probably be annoying for someone if they watched with me. 😂😂 I was 9 years old when this came out. ❤️

For my money, THE most underrated 80s film that should've been a hit but wasn't.......is Young Sherlock Holmes. I'm not sure why it never caught on. It looks fantastic, the music is superb, the young actors are completely believable and the story is deliciously grim. Wait a minute......deliciously grim? Ah yes, the film was sold as an adventure film in the vein of the Goonies (that came out after) and Indiana Jones; something that would appeal to the whole family. However, it had more in common with Temple of Doom than Raiders and would NEVER be rated PG-13 today. Why? Because you've got people freaking out (and dying) from terrifying hallucinations, cult members sacrificing young girls and one of the main cast of teenagers actually being murdered. Disney, it ain't! And yet, had it been sold as an adventure film for adults, it would certainly have done a lot better. Not great, but better. It most definitely deserved to. If for no other reason that it was the first mainstream film in history to incorporate CGI. And very impressively, too!

Did you intentionally omit the Teen Wolf Saturday morning cartoon that came out before Teen Wolf Too?

I hope you get to Splash, Too. Most people don’t even know it exists. Or Speed Zone, the third Cannonball Run. 😅😅😅

Labyrinth suffered from Jim as a film director. His genius in puppeteering and production design were wasted with his blocking and visual storytelling. My guess is he was too used to working on stage and the mechanical aspects of the puppets made it hard for him and his DP to get shots that helped visually tell the story and also get the most out of his human actors. The lead actors were not experienced at this time and to further handicap them to having scenes where they had to react to puppets made some elements feel very clunky. It seems like a missed opportunity because the production design is so imaginative and if he could find some talented collaborators he might have been able to make a universal masterpiece versus a film with a small cult following.

How can you say that "The Last Starfighter" had no major stars? It had Robert Preston. He was the Motherf@#!$& Music Man!

Teen Wolf's casting even in the bit parts was just something else. Jay Tarsus as Coach Finstock stole every scene he was in, same goes to Scott Paulin as Mr. Lolley the drama teacher. Teen Wolf Too was one of the first sequels to practically anything I ever watched and I remember leaving the theater trying to convince myself I enjoyed it while later privately admitting it was awful to the point where I wanted to avoid college entirely as it seemed really cringe.

I loved Enemy Mine when it came out. I even bought the VHS, haven't updated it though...

Labyrinth isn't lost. It's a classic

Having lived through the 1980s as an adult, I can tell you that the idea that every successful movie should become a "franchise" until inferior sequels destroyed all interest in the stories was not yet set in stone. Many movies were quite successful in their day with no intention of there ever being sequels e.g. "The Princess Bride" and "The Dark Crystal". The fact that no sequels were made does not mean the films were failures. I rather miss self-contained stories in films. I think the general public too has become bored with prequels/sequels and reboots.

Loved all these movies when watching them on WPIX, WWOR, and WLIG in the 80's.

It was and is all propaganda. You just didn't notice

I just watched last star fighter and it was way better than I remembered, seeing the world building unfold as the story progresses is great example of not over doing it but showing enough to keep you interested, it’s a great film, people complained about the cgi 10 years later but I think it holds up to it roots, the cgi is very torn like and the miniatures they work into the effects really sells it, the guy in the hat was a great character and the day in the life of the earth characters felt very grounded for the 80s as I was a kid then and it captures that period perfectly

No Buckaroo Banzai? Still one of the best and most underrated movie of the 80s.

Got to love getting an ad that’s 70mns and Is longer than the video Itself
