I think that was Kevin Sorbo. My respect for him dropped considerably with the way his meddling wrecked Andromeda.I liked him in Meet the Spartans (which, by the way, was 10x better than 300).
So about 3000?
Kurt Russell was the 80's Jason Stathem. He came to kick ass and chew gum, and he's all out of gum. :D
Jason Statham does not even deserve to fluff Kurt Russel's perm.

The name's Pliskin... Snake Pliskin.

Have you guys seen Lockout - I think Guy Pearce was channeling Snake Pliskin.
I haven't seen it. I'll put it on my short-list. Pliskin cracked me up... in both films.
Love me some 'Bangkok Rules'.
They just don't makes movies like they did in the 80's.
The Goonies rule. If you dislike it, you are an old fuddy-duddy like HD and HD. ???
Honestly, I just think Spielberg is a horrible comedy director. You basically had to be twelve to enjoy it. And nostalgia covers liking it when you got older. :-)
Look I'll admit to crying in the theatre when I saw E.T., but I distinctly remembers looking out at a theatre full of bawling preteens and thinking "We're all crying over a puppet," and feeling like Spielberg was just toying with us emotionally.
I guess I'm saying that (dove-tailing with the thread topic) I was about as sentimental as Jack Burton as an eight year old.
This argument is already over. I have Cyndi Lauper on my side. You have nothing but sterile anti-Corey hate.
I win.
"Good enough" isn't exactly a glowing recommendation Doodlebug; if I had a theme song, I'd hope for a description better than "perfectly adequate."
"If you don't expect too much of me, you might not be let down" was, I always thought, a pretty good line.
Also, The Goonies was directed by Richard Donner. Furthermore, it wasn't a comedy, but a suspenseful, action-packed thriller about class resentment, gentrification and pirate treasure.
Goonies never say die!
I went back and re-read how The Goonies even came up in this thread and it was basically someone saying, "I loved it was I 12."
Hee hee!
Goonies is an awesome movie but this is the wrong section to talk about it.

did i miss any mention of Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and 'must see' Army of Darkness? and don't go see the current remake of evil dead, they butchered it. (as if it could be)
cult classics, hard to take, but you love 'em after you're done for the nonstop laughter, and Bruce Campbell's perfect deadpan delivery.

...Until you realize Chunk's real name was Jack Burton; I prefer to think of The Goonies as a two-hour prologue to Big Trouble in Little China.
Thanks to all the nostalgic talk about Big Trouble, I went out and bought the DVD. I had it on VHS before the format died and have not seen the movie in many years.
I must say the film has aged very well, it's still a great fun movie to just sit back and watch with ice cream and popcorn. And the jokes still work.
And I also bought Willow on DVD but that is for another post...
I remember when player had his wizard hide while the rest of the party took on a dragon. The wizard was buffing up with all these spells. By the time he was ready, he jumped out and it was like this scene.
I don't think the player has yet to live that down. LOL
