I was no longer a teen, but some of you were...

 

and one of my ALL TIME FAVS:

 

FULL METAL JACKET

Have you seen my baseball?

I'm sure you can find a nice picture of him on the internet...while you read the book.

 

edit:  FYI, you won't find any pictures of him that are very recent...at least for your sake I hope you don't.

:blink:

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

Pretty much any Tarantino movie from the 90s.

 

Oh and of course Friday

---

The Sandlot

Forrest Gump

Captain Ron


Those are the ones that come to mind.

---

Again, this does not fall in my teen years...but why has nobody mentioned:?

 

Office Space

---

Have you seen my baseball?

If I can't SEE him...it ain't gonna work!!

 

Like he said, you have to believe it's there.

 

Like the entrance to Hogwarts... or the fourth... ah, this is a family board.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

As a big Hunter fan , Fear And Loathing was probably the most watched film of my teens.

---

Red Dawn

---

Someone mentioned The Wraith earlier. That's such an awesome 80's flick. I hate the ending though. It's kind of sad when he hands the Turbo over to his brother. And he knows it's him and he runs out of the burger place all like "Jaimmeeeeeeeeee..... come back man!". Right in the feels dude.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Dazed and Confused.


Party at the moon tower!

“It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.”
― Albert Camus

Not sure about a single favorite from my teens, but here's a few of the ones that made an impact for me:


The Karate Kid

Rambo

The Terminator

Scarface

Videodrome

---

"We believe in victory!"   - Gus Bradley
"I don't want to believe.  I want to know."   - Carl Sagan

Some that come to mind..

 

Close Encounters

The Neighbors (Belushi's last film, IIRC)

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

The China Syndrome

Rocky

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you. 
Check out the Jag's Forum Alternative: Duval Football Fans.

When I was a teenager, my parents had a satellite dish when they basically first came out back in the late 70s/early 80s...and let's just say, there was no such thing as "Parental Controls" back then.  I watched a lot of movies I wasn't supposed to be watching.

 

Was there color back then or just black and white?

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

I was 14 when I saw The Godfather, and have not seen a better movie since.  My favorite of all time, hands down.

 

Other notables from my teen years:

 

Taxi Driver

The Godfather II

The French Connection

The Conversation

Rocky

Jaws

Apocalypse Now!

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

Deliverance

 

And so on...

 

The 70s was a golden era for movies.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's a lot of depressing movies...lol

 

Yeah, I guess they are. I tend to like movies that focus on the darker side of human nature.

However, the movies that you listed are all very good movies.  Hollywood doesn't put out movies like those these days.

Coming To America was the one that got the most long term laughs in my high school years. My friends and I quoted it often. 

 

But the favorite movie of my teens was usually any movie at the theater that I didn't actually see much of -  because I was there with a young lady whose usually peerless moral character was susceptible to tarnish when in a poorly lit room filled with the aroma of buttered popcorn and Drakkar Noir.
