Roads, where we're going we don't need roads

Was there any surprise to this choosing The number 1 spot is......Back to the Future, This movie is the definitive of classic, loved by many and can be enjoyed by everyone. Back to the future is a movie that has everything Romance, comedy, drama, foot tapping music, and action. We are introduced to Marty McFly (Micheal J Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), one of the most iconic duo's in cinema. The lovely Lea Thompson as Lorraine Baines, Crispin Glover playing the dorky George Mcfly, and Thomas F Wilson playing the bully Biff Tannen. For Romance you have Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer Parker (Claudia Wells). She supports Marty through thick and thin and boosts his confidence whenever he feels small, but that's not the relationship I'm talking about. When introduced to Marty's parents we see a loser George being harassed by biff  and can't stand up for himself. For Lorraine we see her as a little chubby alcoholic. When Marty goes back in time we see...

If this was a personal list this would be number 1 as it is from my favorite Trilogy of all time Star Wars, more specifically "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". Ill try to keep it short as I could talk about Star Wars for hours. I would put the whole Trilogy on here, but sadly the Original movie: "A New Hope" was made in 1977 so not from the 80s, and as for "Return Of The Jedi"...I can only put one movie per spot. The Empire Strikes Back is one of those movies that really live up to expectations. It's one of the best squeals ever created and added more to what was told in the original story. The film still stars its original cast of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa, Anthony Daniels as C-3P0, James Earl Jones as the voice of Darth Vader, Kenny Baker as R2-D2, and Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi (Obi-Wan Kenobi) as well as ORIGINALLY introducing 4 new characters. Lando Calrissian played b...

Everyone's favorite whip carrying archaeologist Indiana Jones, but more specifically the first film "Raiders of the lost Ark". Indiana Jones stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, Paul Freeman as Dr. Rene Belloq and Ronald Lacey as Major Arnold Ernst Toht Raiders of the lost Ark is more than digging up lost history. Its about the adventures that take place while looking for them. In the first scene we see Jones exploring the jungle when he stumbles upon the temple of Peru to retrieve the Golden Idol. The temple is extremely booby trapped to wear even shadows can make them go off. In the room with the Idle he must tip toe to avoid setting of the poisonous darts and must carefully replace the Golden Idol with a bag of sand that weighs the same. This being the beginning of the film we know Jones isn't going to die, but we can't felt but tighten our muscles as we feel his stress and how precise he must be as one mistake could poss...
