The only live action movies I watch are from 1980s or earlier. They are the best.

Once Upon A Time in America from 1984 I was 11 back then.

[BrawnyCharger 511]

I just watched a couple of good 1989 films.

-Henry V

-Born on the Fourth of July.

[Jeric 46,834]

I just introduced my kids to Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Money Pit with Tom Hanks. I am currently on an 80's comedy kick. Next up is likely going to be Modern Problems. 

[Rainbow Dash 1,471]

Im like, too lazy to list ALL of them. But here are a couple I love and recommend to everyone:

• They Live- I love Rowdy Roddy Pipper(R.I.P.). He was a legend on screen and in the ring.
• Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure- Do it for the WILD STALLIONS!
• Airplane- Leslie Neilson really shines on this one. Great performance and stands the test of time.
• The Dark Crystal- Jim Henson went for a darker look with his puppets and directing. It paid off pretty well. Best to watch in a pillow fort with friends over at night.
• All Dogs Go to Heaven- I legit cry every time i watch this movie. Like...please just watch it with a dog if you can and just try not to cry.
• Christine- Its a horror movie about a possessed killer classic car set in the 1970s. A KILLER. CLASSIC. CAR. What more reason do you need to watch this?

The Breakfast Club summed up what it was like in high school.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

The Transformers: The Movie (1986). I was only four years old at the time when it released in theatres and I barely remember that experience, but what I do recall is going to see it with both my dad and my brother.

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

Laputa Castle in the sky
(if you meant live-action movie then Blade Runner or Indiana jones)

[Misty Shadow 7,084]

Definitely seen at least some of most of these movies. I've seen Pee-Wee's Big Adventure many times throughout my life since I was a child, and The Terminator and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? are some of my all-time favorite films. Oh yeah, and you forgot Superman II, that's a childhood favorite of many.

[Brony Number 42 9,927]

I have seen some of these in the theatre.

I remember seeing that in the theater when it came out. Kids in that theater cried. Another movie I saw when it came out was The Land Before Time. I could not stop listening to the soundtrack.

Recently I watched some 1989 Best Picture nominees:

• Field of Dreams
• Dead Poets Society
• My Left Foot
