<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Since I grew up mainly in the 90's, I'm not too clear on what all of the best 80's flicks are, I know some of you who are a few years older can certainly be a better help to me. To name off a few off my favourites: Needless to say would be the two Dalton Bond films and A View to a Kill, Scarface, Commando (yeah-yeah, I know, it's just a really fun movie =P), Predator, Kickboxer (same with this one), Conan the Barbarian. So any recommendations along those lines would definately be appreciated. Also, don't bother mentioning any films starring Stallone or Segal; As for Stallone, I would say that if I wanted to watch movies about a brain damaged boxer, I would watch Ali, but people here are just too damn sensitive around here for that =P</div>
