So we're doing the 90's or 70's after this is done? @MartyMcFlyly

Btw on another music forum I frequent a lot, they're currently doing best movies of 2010s. They try to do it every year and it never gets boring because the list always changes. They also did 'Best of the 80s' a couple years back but I wasn't an active member then.

This is the 80s one

i know the 80s were full of fukkery but i never liked lethal weapon and rambo / rocky etc. Maybe because i hate Stalone and Gibson. Especially Stalone. He ruined that shower scene in the specialist for me growing up

@MartyMcFly sorry breh, a lil of topic, still on topic tho, im watching count of monte cristo, do you think there is enough revenge flicks for a top ten somewhere down the line? or films that have some sort of revenge theme in them so that many of the lists can be different? this is of course after we do the ten black films for BHM and top from 2015, as well as maybe 70's/90's lists.... just a thought tho

BTTF has one of the best endings also. Always makes me want to go right into the sequel after I'm done.

Off topic but I watched that Back In Time documentary and the "To Be Continued..." wasn't in the film's theatrical release. They didn't know there'd be a sequel, but wanted to end the film on them going off onto another adventure. They added that graphic for the VHS release, so everyone always assumed the sequels were always planned, because that's the version people remember. They took away the "To Be Continued" for the recent reissue.

They also said they wouldn't have included Jennifer in the final scene if they knew there were going to be sequels because they didn't know what to do with her after that.
