    Fletch
    Over the years, I may quote Fletch as much, if not more than, any other movie...

    I don't think any of these were Oscar worthy. They're good but not that level.

    I also can't believe I voted against Clint. I like Pale Rider but there's a bit too much cheese on the tin pan side. The preacher character and the villains were all perfecr.

    Agree on Pale Rider. Probably the "worst" of his westerns because one of them has to be. Does have some classic scenes and the whole bullets in his back and the grey coat private thugs is great

    As is the sledge hammer to Lerch's balls

    Color Purple left me speechless and pissed off which was the intention so they nailed it. Oprah's best role IMO as well as a young thin Whoopi

    For as much as I love Rocky IV ... it’s far from an award winning movie

    Rather easily, very egregious omission by Yella.


    Also, the Breakfast Club is a worthy consideration..

    I watched the Breakfast Club again last year out of desperation for content and it was still good

    Probably the best of John Hughes in the 80's IMO

    Maybe we could do a pole of Brat Pack classics

    Honestly would have to rate Breakfast Club ahead of most of the list now that you mention it. Huge cultural impact and maybe the best of the 80s teen angst movies.
