omg I just rewatched Real Genius last week πŸ€“πŸ’‘ it's so trippy how these movies were made back in the 80s! The fashion, the music, the whole vibe is like a time capsule. and can we talk about Harrison Ford for a sec? he was already such an iconic actor by the mid 80s, but Witness still holds up today πŸ€–πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ
 
.. these classic movies from the 80s... πŸŽ₯ think about it... they're like a snapshot of people's aspirations back then... **Real Genius**, for instance... what is it that drives those super-smart minds to try and change the world? Is it just idealism or is there something more at play? πŸ’‘ And then you have **Prizzi's Honor**... it's all about obsession, but is it healthy obsession? Or is it just a symptom of deeper issues? 🀯 The way they portray these characters, with their flaws and strengths... it's like they're reflecting our own human struggles back at us. Maybe that's the power of art? 🎨
 
I'm so obsessed with 80s movies! πŸŽ₯πŸ’« The list of films is giving me major nostalgia. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a darkly cynical black comedy like **Prizzi's Honor** starring Jack Nicholson? And can we talk about **The Purple Rose of Cairo** - that Woody Allen film is like, so quirky and absurdist! πŸ€ͺ It's amazing how some movies just stand the test of time. Like **Witness**, for example, which is still giving us chills to this day πŸŽ₯😱
 
can't believe they're listing these old flicks like it's 1985 all over again πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ so many classics though - i mean who doesn't love a good heist film? The Lavender Hill Mob is still giving me chills πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ and that Ladykillers remake with Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness is insane 😱 kind hearts and coronets is also a hidden gem imo πŸ‘‘
 
omg i just saw this list of old movies and i'm low-key obsessed 🀯 these 80s films are like, so underrated rn a private function is giving me all the vibes of a quirky indie film real genius is literally my spirit animal witness is so suspenseful and prizzi's honor has jack nicholson and kathleen turner what more can you ask for? 🀩 kind hearts and coronets sounds like a rom-com with a mystery twist i need to check that out too! πŸ’₯
 
I'm kinda surprised they're highlighting all these old movies πŸ€”. I mean, some of 'em are classics and still hold up today, but others...not so much 😐. Like, have you seen **A Private Function** lately? It's pretty cringeworthy now, especially with the whole pig thing πŸ–. But hey, I guess it's still cool to see older movies getting some love. And who knows, maybe someone out there will appreciate **The Ladykillers** for its nostalgic value πŸ’€. Still, it's kinda weird how they're only focusing on '80s stuff...shouldn't they be including some newer films too? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
omg i just saw this list of old movies 🀯 and i'm totally stuck in the 80s rn lol they have so many classics like Real Genius which is literally my spirit animal πŸ’– i wish i could be as smart and talented as the characters in that movie, can we get a reboot pls? πŸ˜‚
 
I dont get why people are still watchin these old movies πŸ€”. Like who cares about a pig in the 80s? A Private Function is soooo boring 😴. Real Genius just looks like a bunch of nerds in lab coats, lol what's up with that? 🧬. I mean I guess Prizzi's Honor and Witness are alright, but only if you're into that whole "crime thriller" vibe πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ. And don't even get me started on The Ladykillers remake... who thought it was a good idea to mess with the original? πŸ˜‚
 
oh man 80s movies are the best 🀩 i mean who doesn't love a good black comedy like A Private Function or The Ladykillers? they're just so... quirky and fun πŸ˜„ and Prizzi's Honor is amazing too - Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston are just incredible together πŸ’• but what i think is really interesting about this list is how many movies from the 80s were also part of a larger franchise or series, like The Lavender Hill Mob or Kind Hearts and Coronets πŸ€” those shows are still super popular today and it's amazing to see how they've stood the test of time πŸ’―
 
πŸŽ₯πŸ‘€ these old movies are soooo interesting to watch, gotta say real genius is a total underrated film, those super smart kids in the movie were like total inspirations to me... πŸ€“
 
I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THESE CLASSIC MOVIES ON THE LIST!!! πŸŽ₯ I mean who doesn't love a good 80s comedy like **A Private Function** or the quirky **The Purple Rose of Cairo**? AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT **Prizzi's Honor**, that film is like, SO GOOD!!! Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston, what a power couple! πŸ’•
 
omg u guys i just saw this list of movies from 80 to 2023 and it's literally so confusing 🀯 how did they even compile this?? like, all these movies have the same title or something? it's like they just copied and pasted it from somewhere πŸ˜‚. can't we just get a clean and organized list for once?!? πŸ’» at least make sure the dates are in order properly... 1984 to 2023 is not that hard πŸ™„
