Movies Favourite R Film of 1987

[PG29 red0 Jr]

Why was planes trains and automobiles not a PG film?

I never was allowed to watch "bad movies" as a kid, and I started watching this around 8 years old.

voted for badass predator
imo it should be robocop/running man/predator tied

 

[Tone C]

Predator and Running man all day long

I just can't get behind Running Man. I read the Richard Bach/ Steven King book and loved it...then watched the film. Ugh.

 

[Streeter]

How for fucks sake can you choose between the first 5 listed. I have stared at it for 5 minutes I csn decide

Planes Trains and Automobiles was rated R?

Spoiler: shoutout JC

shoutout to John Carpenter, Prince of Darkness, far from being highly rated, but damn that movie is one of the creepiest flicks I've ever seen. I wish he would have had a more seasoned group of actors like he had in The Thing

It's an impossible list choosing Lost Boys as Predator will have enough fans. Too many classics on there and different genres so hard to compare. Thank god I lived through the 80s though. Look at the shitty movies put nowadays.

Cause Steve goes on that one memorable profanity-laden tirade. Legitimately the only reason it’s rated R.

What a tough year to choose a favorite. Went with Leathal Weapon, but Lost Boys, Planes, Running Man, Predator, FMJ...

What a year.. and I had to sneak into all of them.

Running man is good.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

I went with running man. It was one of the first R rated movies I ever saw. Plus sci-fi dystopia movies are my favourite

 

[Bob Gray]

Damn. Thats a helluva list. Gun to my head? Predator.

No, wait. Lethal Weapon.

NO! Robocop.

No, Predator was right.

Wait! SHIT!

At that stage I think you still have films which didnt really care about getting the R rating or maybe even valued it so they didnt do the kind of minor changes that would have been needed to avoid it.

I would say 84 and 87 are probably the two best years of that decade, my top 5 of 87 would be Angel Heart, Full Metal Jacket, Predator, Withnail and I and Robocop.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

1. Robocop
2. Predator
3. Lethal Weapon
4. The Running Man
5. Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Can't believe my parents let me see so many R rated films as a kid.

Yeah, I also was allowed to watch a lot of R rated films. And I turned out just fine.

Then, our generation turned into helicopter parents who won’t let their kids watch anything.
