Old school movie recommendations

[Scott W]

Tonight is one of those nights when the missus is out and I am home alone with my two boys (16 & 13)

On such occasions I have taken the opportunity to introduce them to some "classic" movies from my youth which has been a success...

ones we have done so far include

Ferris Bueller (their fave so far)
Airplane
Top Gun
Planes Trains & Auto Mobiles
Coming to America

...any recommendations from you guys

The Goonies, Trading Places (if they enjoyed Coming to America).
Willow is another classic for me as well.

Old school - LOL

Anyway - keeping it recent:

Blazing Saddles
The Producers (1967 version)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Gorky Park (1983)

 

[Jimaroid]

The Goonies
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Man With Two Brains
Mad Max 1 & 2
Airplane
Ghostbusters
Bladerunner
The Thing
Big Trouble In Little China
Highlander
Tron
The Princess Bride
Big
Gremlins

Appreciate some of them are 18 rating but never did us any harm in our teens.

best not view "Porkies" then

If they liked Airplane, then maybe the "Naked Gun" films

 

[spongebob59]

Fletch, a classic.

princess bride
top gun
stand by me
the dark crystal
the never ending story
beetlejuice
scrooged (best time of year to watch it as well)
labyrinth
big
rainman
teen wolf - at the end when Scott jumps into his dad's arms to celebrate winning there is a chap above left who has his dick out, obviously not something to highlight to your kids but something that is hilarious nevertheless
Wall street
Time Bandits
Loads of Arnie films
Hoosiers - good sports film
Caddyshack
school ties - good film where a star athlete is given a scholarship but is almost ostracised when they find out he is Jewish


If they like sports films;
Miracle
invincible
remember the titans
the express
friday night lights
eight men out - great film about the white sox based on a true story
field of dreams - the baseball player Kevin Costner wants to help in this film was part of the team in eight men out 'shoeless joe jackson'
