I can’t remember the name of the movie, but it had a terrorist or possibly gang related theme, took place most likely in the UK, one scene in particular that I can remember is a man searching through a house or apartment for bombs, thinking he’s finished only to open his refrigerator which detonates a bomb inside it.

Turk 182 needs a remake. It will work today
Also, At Close Range (1986) should be here

@BlackHammer0891

" My science Project" is a underrated favorite.

"A Taste of Heaven" sounds interesting to watch.

I know, I'm weird, I'm going on 33 and 80's movies are my favorite thing to watch.

It's like stepping into another world where nothing makes sense and everything makes sense.

I love 80's film.

I appreciate you all for giving me something to Google and find that I can watch, really- thank you.

None of these are forgotten about.

They've all been restored, re-issued and redistributed multiple times.

Nice to see Turk 182 get some love. Ice Pirates was a childhood favorite; love the absurdity of it.

80 movies where great, but were in a recession so it sucked.

@inkedman1963

Ice Pirates sounds like a bad mix of Water World and Mad Max set in space, just to capitalise on Star Wars... 🤔

The guys says he doesn't want to give away the ending of April's Fools day. Shows a small clip of the ending.

@minegoaway4228

Zero Boys, April Fool's Day, and Night of the Comet define my personality.

Paradise Motel, Sorority Vacation, Spring Break, Gymkata, Wolfen, Hot Dog the movie, the list of forgotten 80s movies is long. When my niece visits. I put on classic movies. Her favorites are Flash, Cool World, and Caveman. She requests to watch those repeatedly.

Turk 182 is my fav. "Zimmerman flew, and Tyler knew". In this political environment I been trying to convince people to watch Turk 182.
During COVID. "People flew, and Republicans knew".

@8arrows

@

The Secret of Nimh is one of my favorite movies

@AimeeFleck

@

As I have seen this many times, I was hoping that SPACEHUNTER would have on this list.
Cheesy, yes, not decently done. My older brother worked at a local video store in 1986 and brought this home as a 3 day rental, and I watched it 4 times!
Oh, the memories of acceptable B-Grade movies.

@tkskagen

@

Secret of Nimh is literally known by everyone in my generation. We might be nineties kids but still, nowhere near forgotten. I watch it with the family at least once a year

@nickynegron3515

@

Secret of Nimh on the list of forgotten movies is kind of crazy.

@winns35

@missyTL

@

NIGHT OF THE COMET is nowhere near forgotten!!! It’s one of the best 80’s sci fi action flicks, I’ve must have seen it 100’s of times lol. The mall scene is badass, so many one liners lmao😆
