Some Kind of Wonderful
Say Anything is great, but one of the best that no-one's mentioned is The Sure Thing (pity it's OOP at the moment).

I can't believe Young Guns and Young Guns II haven't been mentioned yet.
I watched them both yesterday and, 7 years since my last viewing, I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.
The DVDs aren't too bad... I picked up Young Guns 2 on R1 for £9.99 delivered from www.dvdworldusa.co.uk and Young Guns from Electronics Boutique for £4.96 in their current sale.

I believe that Pretty In Pink and Some Kind Of Wonderful are both due for DVD release towards the end of this year.
The lavish two-disc jobs done for the likes of Tron and Big Trouble In Little China augurs well, but does anyone else it's about time these great 80's movies started getting the respect they deserve?
The R1 Breakfast Club DVD is a virtual bare bones release, not even including the theatrical trailer. It's just crying out for a Special Edition reissue, with perhaps two commentaries. One from John Hughes, another from the clubbers reunited. I'd like to know what Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy and Molly Ringwald make of their adolescent principality today, while whither Judd Nelson?
Perhaps when it finally comes out in R2...

Lucas......aaaah now there's a film I'd love to have on dvd. Got some special memories on that one :D
dont forget the pick up artist with molly ringwald and robert downey junior! Personally my favourite would be Say Anything. I love those john hughes classics like Ferris and Some Kind of Wonderful is another fave but nothing touches like Say Anything, its got a much more real feel to it and is more touching than the general feel good quality of the john hughes stable.
What about PCU that was hilarious.

Watched St. Elmo's Fire, I wouldn't bother with it, found it uninteresting! Boring characters you never care about.
Time to get rid of it!

Some Kind of Wonderful was released late last year, although I didn't think the transfer was much good. I'm sure it's still available as I saw it recently in a buy one, get one free offer.

There are some fantastic movies mentioned here and I am now feeling all moved as there are some fantastic memories of simpler times!!
Also making me want to go buy/watch them ALL.
I am not sure there will ever be a period of film making for me or my generation (early 30's) that will ever mean as much and have such warm memories (I know I'm a sad git.....)
And before any of you younger/older people start slagging me off 'if you werent there you just dont understand man!!'

What are studios like with re-issues on these types of films. I want Better Of Dead but its bare bones and only stereo.
Misfits Of Science - with a young Courtney Cox. Great film!
Oxford Blues - Rob Lowe blags his way into Oxford to meet a girl. And there's rowing involved. Another great film.
I still have a lot of VHS and apart from Red Dawn and Lucas I have every other film mentioned on this thread from years back :D

What about those 'Lemon Popsicle' movies? Ok, they were dubbed but they were a big part of my video oriented youth....and they had nude scenes as well! :norty:
I think there was up to about 6 of them but the only ones I saw were -
Lemon Popsicle
Hot Bubblegum
Private Popsicle
...there was an American remake of the first once called The Last American Virgin !!
