I believe that some of the best things were made in the 1980s *cough*born1984anyone??*cough* The fashion would have to be forgiven, MC Hammer style trousers and shoulder pads make me shudder! The music wasn’t too bad – in fact I have a friend who would argue it’s the best era for music.<\/p>\n
However today I’m concentrating on some films. I watch a lot of films and have come to realise that a lot of my favourite films are from the 80s. So here’s my top 10!<\/p>\n
1) Ghostbusters 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Both Ghostbusters films were made in the 80s with the first being released the year I was born.<\/p>\n I’ve been told that Ghostbusters 2 was slated by critics and that the opinion seems to be that the first film was better. I would disagree. I have always preferred the second. Please don’t ask me why!<\/p>\n I think it’s thanks to this film I had a crush on Bill Murray! Who wouldn’t love a sarcastic Ghostbuster right?<\/p>\n 2) Twins<\/strong><\/p>\n Not quite my favourite Arnie film – his best era was the 90s I think – but best one of the 80s for me. I know I should be putting Terminator in here but meh not really my type if film.<\/p>\n So in Twins is a story if two brothers who never knew each other existed. With Danny DeVito acting the other twin you can imagine they’re far from identical.<\/p>\n 3) Dirty Rotten Scoundrels<\/strong><\/p>\n This has to be my second favourite Michael Caine film (first would be Muppets Christmas Carol).<\/p>\n Starring Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glenn Headley it is a fantastic film set in the South of France.\u00a0It’s pretty much the story of how two hustlers get entangled and try to out do each other to con a beautiful woman. Here’s one of my favourite scenes:<\/p>\n
