I used to have a tape with Fast Time, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, and Last American Virgin that I would watch all the time. I also had a tape with Savage Streets, The Warriors, Class of 1984, and 3:15 the Moment of Truth that I would watch alot.

Stand by me Rocky 2/3/4 The Wraith Thrashin Back to the future War Games
Just got a copy of Thrashin on dvd after not seeing it for a load of years,brings back skate memories have to admit it looks a bit dated and cheesey now but still worth a watch.
Posted by Kase79 (Member # 7609) on :
Back to the Future without a doubt. I've easily seen it over 500 times.
When I was 9 years old I watched it every day for 10 months, no lies, the only reason I stopped was because we went on holidays for 2 weeks.

Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
There were tons, but Revenge of the Nerds was watched every single day and up to 3 times a day sometimes. No exageration.

Great list Eddie. Although I didn't mention them in my initial post, I also loved Something Wicked this Way Comes, E.T., Gremlins, and License to Drive when I was a kid. A couple of others that I neglected in my first post: Big and The 'burbs. My two favorite Tom Hanks movies of the 80's.

The Chipmunk Adventure and The Goonies were definitely my two top watched movies when I was a kid.

Karate Kid (last count, when I was keeping score at 13, I was at 64)! Lost Boys. License to drive (skipped school to see that the first time). Like father like son (Hey, dudley Moore was funny and I had a thing for Kirk Cameron at the time!)

Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :
Way too many to list, but 90% of it is stuff that I still watch. The exceptions would be some of the more kiddie oriented titles like the Muppet Movies, Masters of the Universe, Garbage Pail Kids, etc.
Posted by gordongecko (Member # 4685) on :
Goonies, Big, Field of dremas, Look Who's Talking, Gremlins, Christmas Story.....
Those were the top ones
Posted by Kash (Member # 297) on :
'Ghostbusters' more times than I care to remember, 'Top Gun', 'G.I. Joe: The Movie'.
Posted by LoverswithCassie (Member # 7794) on :
"The Day After." I rented this on video several instances when I was a child. I have watched it on YouTube, too.
(As missiles are being launched)
Cynthia: "What's going on?"
Professor Joe Huxley: "Those are minuteman missiles."
Cynthia: "Like a test, sort of? Like a warning?"
Professor Joe Huxley: (Shakes his head while staring in awe to say nothing of disbelief at the missiles) "They're on their way to Russia. They take about 30 minutes to reach their targets."
Aldo: "So do theirs, right?"

An addition that I thought that you people may be intrigued by. I suspect that Glenn Hughes (Leatherman of The Village People) saw "The Day After" when it came out and was, it goes without saying, terrified out of his wits by it. If it is true, then this would be a coincidence, as "The Day After" stars Steve Guttenberg, who of course was in The Village People film "Can't Stop the Music."

Devolution here,
The Day After is nuts.
I have watched so many movies as a kid.
I seem to remember watching Project X like 90 times at one point in time.

Another interesting coincidence, Devolution. In Project X, Matthew Broderick co-starred with Helen Hunt, who in turn co-starred with Sarah Jessica Parker (Matthew's wife-to-be) in Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
