You are very right! But there are like 300 good to mediocre movies from the 80's. That is why there is a bonus round. The sooner we get too it, the sooner we can finally figure out which is truely the greatest 80's movie of all time!


I do not accept that answer. In the 80's we had (8) Friday The 13th movies. It should have had a real good shot at being on that list.

How many of the titles on that list are franchises that are still alive and kicking 30 years later?

We also had 5 or 6 "A Nightmare On Elm Street" movies in the 80's yet not even one is on the list.

And I don't say this to start a war about which movie/killers are better (mainly because I don't like horror movies)

Freddy was a wimp. He was too pussy to fight you outside of your dreams.

I wouldn't look cool either if I only accepted to fight you if you were asleep.

 

Anyways, in case you took it that way, my post wasn't at all serious. It doesn't bother me in the least which movies are on someone else's list. I'm just trying have fun.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Don't worry, I didn't take it too serious, just like my post.

And I told you that I didn't want to start a war. After all we all know Freddy is more famous, and Jason wasn't even the killer in the first Friday the 13th
