Best 1980s Comedy Adventure film

Got to add a big up for Golden Child and Coming To America. Top films

 

[scifisam]

For the first time or rewatch?

If the latter, I'd probably recommend leaving it intact in your rose-tinted memory

I've rewatched it before, a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed it then - it wasn't dated at all .

Oh - and Charlotte Lewis.

I was banned from watching Golden Child as a kid because it was too violent


Coming to america is ace.

Uncredited appearance for Samuel L Jackson as the stick-up man at Mcronalds who eddie defeats with a mop handle

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

My favourite film ever.

 

[Orang Utan]

coming to america is well racist

 

[DotCommunist]

My favourite film ever.

And the two rich baddies in that cameo in Coming To America as tramps who he gives a bag of money

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

spot on

how about the three amigos? great twist on the seven samurai story (later pinched by a bugs life iirc?), and some fine performances.

back to the future is one of the greatest films ever made, but i don't really think it's a comedy is it?

The El Guappo speech is one of those few times that Steve Martin made me laugh

 

[Orang Utan]

It's got an invisible bandit!

really? i just saw it as an adventure caper...

 

[Santino]

There is comedy, and there is adventure, and there is comedy-adventure, and Back to the Future is most assuredly comedy-adventure. It's not 'a comedy', it's comedy-adventure.

Comedy-adventure.

 

[killer b]

hm. if you insist.

Three Amigos is great fun.

Back to the Future's got to be a comedy -

"Calvin Klein"

The Darth Vader midnight visit.

"Manuuuure!"

The Oedipal 'parking'
