You and davidh777 need to load up on bubblegum, get ready for kicking ass, and check it out Maybe for the October horror challenge (you're right ... it also counts as a horror movie). We didn't know it at the time, but this movie is pretty much the last of John Carpenter's "classic" run (though In the Mouth of Madness was a solid mid 90s movie).

I considered Aliens for a few questions (one-liner, best music, best ending) ... but backed out of fear that other movies came to mind for the genre of "action".

If I get a couple of matches for that question I'll consider it a personal victory. With only 5 movies to choose from, I have to be able to do that, right? Though I'll probably get outscored by a 70s movie.

What can I say? It's my favorite Steven Spielberg action movie.

So that means Steven Spielberg counts as an 80s action movie star?

16. S: We can't talk about 80's action without talking 007. Name the best Bond film from the 80's.

This one probably would have been out in the 80's had they not fast tracked it to capitalize on the Star Wars craze...

Arent there only three main categories for classifying regular films? Action, Drama, and Comedy? Obviously there are many more classifications than that, but those are the three main ones? It seems like every store that sells movies that I have ever been to had those three as their largest grouping.

OK time for some matches!

This film definitely had the best theme song of the 80's Bond films...

17: S: He is arguably the most feared man on the face of the planet. Name the best film starring Chuck Norris from the 80's.
