Random aside, this, but it came up in this week's podcast (currently being edited - watch this space...or rather the one right above it). I maintain that 1987 is one of the best years for movies - not necessarily Oscar-level brilliance, but it seems to have the highest concentration of movies which make people from my generation (ie. a child in the 80's) break into a grin:
Batteries Not Included
Beverly Hills Cop 2
Dirty Dancing
Dragnet
Evil Dead 2
Fatal Attraction
Full Metal Jacket
Innerspace
Lethal Weapon
The Living Daylights
Lost Boys
Mannequin
Predator
Princess Bride
Robocop
Roxanne
Running Man
Secret of My Success
Stakeout
Three Men and a Baby
The Untouchables
Wall Street
Withnail & I
Now, not necessarily all films of absolute ground-breaking quality, but that's a lot of classic 80's...ness crammed into one year, and I feel it's worth recording, if nothing else to have a record to try and make my argument better in the next episode...
