Because the recent poll where I asked readers to vote for the movie they thought I should watch next received such a positive response, I thought I'd do a sequel... with a twist. This time I've selected five movies from the 1980s that I'm interested in seeing, but haven't. The movie with the most votes is the one I will watch next. Once I watch it, I'll post a review. Feel free to post in the comments section why you feel that I should watch the movie that you chose.
Before you say "I can't believe you haven't seen (fill in the blank)", stop and consider that unless you're a movie critic, there probably are holes in your film watching experience too. :-)

The Goonies is a freaking classic!
You must watch that next!
Field of Dreams fo shnizzle. I must have been JUST too old to really enjoy The Goonies. It's never been a favorite of mine.
I had to go with "Field of Dreams". It is a feel good nostalgia piece (I always welcome the chance to see James Earl Jones do his thing). My second choice in "Blue Velvet", it is a cult classic, in the vein of "Twin Peaks". It is a weird little film, with a stellar cast, including a very young Laura Dern (I think it was the first time I saw her). I am not a fan of the horror genre, but I have seen "Nightmare on Elm Street" and actually found it more humorous than scary.
Little Mermaid! but you have to see Goonies too!
The Goonies just rock that is a perfect 80s flick
There's a lot of holes in my seen movies list - simply because there are some genres I don't bother with - like slasher movies, teenybopper fare, B action movies, most foreign films. . .
I've only seen 2 on this list, Field of Dreams and Goonies. Of those two I'd watched Field of Dreams again and I have - several times so that's what I recommend.
And remember the line is "if you build it HE will come" not "THEY will come", lol.
Hey from the Certifiable Wenches blog! I saw where you commented on a post eons ago and wanted to say hi back. At any rate, my vote was for Blue Velvet. It's a real mind freak. And to be fairly honest (1) I think I'm the only person on the planet that doesn't like the Goonies (2) I've never actually watched the Little Mermaid all the way through after it scared the bejeezus out of me when it was first released to video.
