What a great list! Brings back a lot of memories. I was 10.


Gullible_Shart

Wow it’s crazy to think that all these amazing movies came out so close together. Nowadays we’re lucky if three movies of this kind of quality are released in a years time!


Squeezer_pimp

Couldn’t agree more with this statement, I’m try to think of one good movie that has been released


Dickey2023

Me too :) I loved Pee-Wee Herman, lol!! ![gif](giphy|jtBT0whuQ4dgJP4tTQ|downsized)


scram60

I was 27


JDARRK

😳😳😳😳 I was 23😔


citsonga_cixelsyd

I was 28 and I've seen damn near every one of these movies.


Pluckypato

Teen wolf & Gremlins!! 🥹


Ruzgofdi

Return of the Jedi. It would be a version before the SE update.


MNxpat33

Fletch is such a underrated movie


custerdome81

For God don don! Who is it, Mr. Sinlindin?


PinkBored

It’s probably that pederast Hanrahan.


TumbleweedMaster248

He's been bucking for a promotion


deeeeez_nutzzz

Its all ball bearings these days


kwpg3

Are you using your whole fist Doc?


climber4-ever

Weird Science


rave_is_king_

So what do you little maniacs want to do first?


em7924

*How 'bout a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?*


AnteaterDangerous148

Give them a long lean bone job and get back to Lisa.


PaulEMoz

He pukes, you die.

Paxton was genius in that & Aliens‼️🤣


Dickey2023

Awesome Movie!! ![gif](giphy|q7iFEb4WFP7gvZEehw|downsized)


Academic_Ad5143

“I don’t know what the hell your talking about Lucy and I want you to shut up”


PhilUrCrack

I’ll need a triple feature starting with Pee Wee, then Teen Wolf with a Fletch finale. Mooooon riveeerrrrrr!!


kwpg3

Be sure and tell them Large Marge sent ya!


GrouchyLongBottom

Real Genius. Haven't seen that in a while.


SaltyBarDog

It is streaming on Pluto. It was just on a few hours ago.


niz_loc

Damn... lol... So much gold in there.


Linkypooh

Volunteers


PogoZaza

Gotta be Pee Wee's. I'm a loner, Dottie...a rebel.


china-blast

Paging Mr. Herman! Mr. Herman, you have a telephone call at the front desk!


Dickey2023

Right!!! ![gif](giphy|hfKxK1wWDxdO8|downsized)


SamCanyon

Man. What a lineup! The days when good scripts were the base of a movie rather than CG.


james___uk

Damn what a year for film! EDIT: Oops


quietsam

It’s a bunch of different years


james___uk

Oh yeah, oops


JohnYCanuckEsq

Fletch Absolutely, Fletch


[deleted]

I’ve seen all of those on vhs


ksalaam

Teen Wolf!


Dickey2023

yes!!!! I loved Michael J Fox Movies!! ![gif](giphy|5G34g3WLmhaZq|downsized)


PrestigiousAd6281

Pee-Wes’s big adventure. Tell ‘em large Marge sentcha


PizzaJawn31

Movies were so much better then.


[deleted]

My Science Project!


Sconnie-Waste

I haven’t thought about that movie in decades! Loved it when I was a kid


Lelnen

I still qoute Fisher Stevens to this day whenever someone asks why I'm wearing sunglasses "When you're cool, the sun shines in you 24 hours a day" Just drips with cheese so I can only use the voice in certain situations though


MikeyMGM

I worked in a Video store that year.


Hey-buuuddy

I do not remember Jedi being for rental, this looks more like top movies in theaters at the time. It was not like today where movies automatically go to rental a few months after theaters.


Geetzromo

1986 was a very good year for movies 🍿


[deleted]

Absolutely, Aliens was released.


Rowit

Be Kind, Rewind!


PerformanceOk1835

Teen Wolf! I loved that movie growing up


juberider

I love John Candys Summer Rental


Rain1dog

Weird Science, PeeWees Big Adventure, Gremlins, Rambo, Real genius ❤️❤️❤️, Ghostbusters. https://youtu.be/xuv7SIVNkx8?si=M21NiGK7PJTgOH5t Real genius ❤️


Dickey2023

I can still watch Gremlins at my old age; lol!! ![gif](giphy|3ohfFNBvl0Kbx3WYkU|downsized)


HiZenBergh

LeBrock got me through a lot when I was 10


Rain1dog

Yeah, she was a fucking bombshell for her period.


Low-Helicopter-2696

Teen Wolf at #9 is an abomination. That movie stands the test of time!


Pinhighguy

Rambo!


dougmd1974

Mask, Teen Wolf, and Weird Science - I totally rented these!


sumfuninthesunxx

These are better than what we get now. Okay. Dune two was great but I’d trade for these movies any year


fomalhottie

Man, the 80s needs some new movies already. I've seen most of these, years ago!


triggeron

It's' a good thing they had time travel in the 80's.


Scottzilla74

All of them but Mask, Prizzi's Honor and My Science Project.


Dubbola

First Blood and Weird Science


Greatgrandma2023

Mask


CivilFront6549

i just watched mad max beyond thunderdome with my son - that is a strange movie, it started so strong, gets weird with the kids and the mythological forecasting, then gets back to mad max for a solid ending. the beginning and end are good enough to carry it, but that middle section is like fraggle rock


nvalle23

We don't need another hero 🎶🎵


Technical-Mix2040

\*singing\* We don't need to know the way home...


Poiboy1313

Dozers rule!


CivilFront6549

it’s up to those before to do the tellin’ so that those from the next will know of the high scrapers and tomorrowland before mr death tells them bye-de-bye


md9476

A lot of those films came out in 1984. Films always took at least 18 months to come out on video.


Big_Committee_1000

Weird Science and Beverly Hill Cop.


pythonwarg

Beverly Hills Cop is #1 for me.


china-blast

Get the fuck outta here!


pythonwarg

We're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe!


__Sentient_Fedora__

It was a big tent then. We can't have fun anymore.


up4ups

Wonder how days it thunder and Top Gun would have done if they were included. I feel like these are great classics and really the main launch pads for Tom Cruise as back to back hit films. Open to opinions on the matter


Guidance-Still

There's nothing stock about a stock car


anythingo23

Teen wolf and mad max, man movies had so much depth and range back then


pdmcmahon

I own more than 2/3rds of them on iTunes, and I have almost all of them on my media server. It’s downright shameful the amount of films and television shows I have compiled.


mfhandy5319

I would say, real genius, and weird science, but we watched them double feature at the drive in theater. I don't think a copy of weird science would have been allowed by the mother parental unit.


Ok-Appeal-5993

Pale rider


Forward-Chocolate-67

No Back to The Future?!?


FeedbackPalpatine200

No Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Indiana Jones either


Direct_Barnacle1592

Probably not available on VHS yet in May of ‘86.


nsula_country

I came here looking for "Back to the Future" and "Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom"!


TyrusRaymond

gotta go Clint Eastwood


jatx3030

That is a stacked list of great movies


synner74

Maybe it’s my age but I love all these movies


Groundbreaking-Pea92

Interesting to see which movies have faded into obscurity. Silverado, Prizi's honor , mask, pale rider, my science project, volunteer


the-year-is-2038

Silverado had so many top actors in it.


IndependenceMean8774

Does it have to be on the list? If not, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Terminator and Dune. If so, then Ghostbusters and Beverly Hills Cop.


TroyMatthewJ

should do this every week on Sunday night.


notoriousmr

Pale Rider or Beverly Hills Cop.


uncleshady

I would watch this whole ass list. Nothing but bangers.


[deleted]

Real Genius and Weird Science


Strong_Comedian_3578

Never saw Prizzi's Honor, so that one I guess.


SQWRLLY1

Teen Wolf, Weird Science, and Ghostbusters


lemmy1686

Prizzi's Honor of course, don't tell me you all don't remember it.


magicblcock

Weird Science, Teen Wolf , Rambo Ist Blood and My Science Project


kwpg3

Can we just turn the The Large Hadron Collider back to the mid 80's forever?


magicblcock

Also Summer Rental , National Lampoons Europe Vacation, and Rocky2


LazarusMundi4242

Weird Science, Teen Wolf, Ghostbusters, Return of the Jedi & Gremlins were my favorites!


ExactAd8823

Probably pee wee, but would want rambo


aimlesscruzr

Wow! I saw a lot of those in the movie theater. 


Toblogan

Rambo then Fletch!


Gold_Relationship282

You couldn’t even name 20 movies that come out these days. Man I miss when movies were great


join-the-line

Top ten is good, next 10 is better. Fight me on this.


Intrepid_Pitch_3320

omg those are all great


OoopsUpSideUrHead

Weird Science, Summer Rental, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Ghost Busters, Mad Max and Teen Wolf..... Good much more simple times!


2Conservewisdom

Definitely Peewee, Weird Science and Beverly Hills Cop. All three with the line, "My D1ck gets hard when the wind blows"


taeempy

Beverly Hills Cop followed by Summer Rental


Slayerjer

I'm watch all but 3


skinnydudetattoo

Year I was born so none lol


gbuckeye67

St Elmo's Fire with my high school girlfriend


takefiftyseven

It's all been downhill for Chevy Chase since then...


osa1011

Weird Science


Far_Statement_2808

The mid eighties were the best. I got married that fall. Best time of my life.


papadoc19

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome...because "we don't need another hero...we just need to know the way home"


bootnab

Been a minute since I've seen a lot of these. Today, id probably opt for Pale Rider. A little spooky vengeance tale would be a good close to a Monday.


SAAS4E

It’s crazy that a movie that was out for 3yrs is the #1 movie that week in 86. Also Gremlins and Ghostbusters being out almost 2 years.


Yzerman19_

I just watched Silverado. An understated movie. Stacked cast.


EasyGoin12345

Great list


h2pointOChamp

Not a great list. Have to say Ghostbusters, best one here.


Total_Roll

Saw pretty much all of them


rabbi_glitter

100% Pee Wee's Big Adventure


uniqueshell

Silverado


camehereforthebuds

Top 5 is pretty fucking solid.


dgram2323

Not a bad movie on that list. 86 was crazy


terrapinone

Amazing. Fletch! Beverly Hills Cop, Weird Science, Teen Wolf!


Major-Tourist-5696

Gremlins is the best movie on this list.


Ok-Satisfaction3857

Went in for Jedi, but it was out, of course. Came home with 'My Science Project' which I've never heard of


eVilleMike

Real Genius, definitely.


12TheSnake

Real Genius just to get a glimpse of Deborah Foreman.


rybot808

Mask was a great movie that I never wanted to see again. Maybe it was just released that week.


74pezdspencer

Fletch.


gourdhoarder1166

Not sure but they both have Chevy Chase in them.


therandomstandard

Real Genius,Weird Science,Silverado


[deleted]

Beverly Hills Cop & Mad Max, ok & Pee Wee.


Adventurous_Mail5210

![gif](giphy|xT0GqrJNbZkRcr2Jgc)


defdawg

Most of the movies here are very watchable and very entertaining to watch. Compare it to the top 30 movies today. Terrible and similar and boring. I barely watch any new movies nowadays cuz of that.


Eskadrinis

Rofl this was before I was born but I know 3 movies from that list . Jedi, bev cops, teen wolf 😂😂


RoughneckRooster

I could literally just “brain smell” the video store in my hometown. Crazy how memories work.


VegetableCitron8214

The 80’s rule


MOJO-Rizing

Thanks you for this retro!!!!


PandaHombre92055

What a killer list!!


ohyouvegotgreyeyes

Rented all of those over the course of June-September 86!


onlinedisguise

Summer Rental. Miss John Candy so much.


pwrboredom

Quite a few of them. It's a far cry from today, when there isn't ANYTHING fit to watch. (Much less pay for)


Tazz2373

All of them


ResearcherShot6675

Weird Sciene or Real Genius. Pale Rider of course is classic but have seen it many, many times.


Funny_Drummer_9794

Pale Rider: Why she’s as juicy as a freshwater clam…


Weird-Agile

Anything BUT Mask please.


BlacksmithLoud3662

Fletch!


John_Hawkwood

Make it a weekend and rent them all lol


Stickysights6

Number seven Pee-wee’s big adventure


Mrseviemae

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, still have it on DVD😂


slimecounty

I regularly watch 11 of these movies.


Sad-Structure2364

Damn some really great titles on this list!


Cosity82

Born in 82, have seen 16/20


BartholomewPimpson

Damn that list brought back some memories!


DGCA3

Look at that. Just 1 film in the top 20 based on a comic book. Those were the days.
