Film Alphabet 1980s
One letter at a time, no looking at roflrazzi comments, googling your ideas is OK. (Sometimes it's fun if you find the picture that matches the image, especially if it's an obscure one...post it if you want.)
Just looking at the whole thing, I'm surprised there are so many I don't know. I figured I would know every one.
I have no idea for A. It looks like Captain Kangaroo, but that was a tv show from the 70s.
Wait, is that the inflatable auto pilot from Airplane?
HAhahahaha! Yes it is! Otto!
I might need a little time on this one. I'm putting out a fire and I'm not sure of all the answers.
Back soon.
Marty McFly wore a vest like that, so Imma say B is Back To The Future

The next one is just wrong, imo.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?
I: Raiders of the Lost Ark
We borrowed this from the library over New Years because the kids had never seen it. The front of the DVD says "Indiana and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"
Stupid George Lucas. can't leave stuff alone.

Seriously. See, I went to see Raiders with Mark B...who was the cutest senior (edit: I was a sophomore), and a football player, at the school in town ( I went to a different school.) All my friends had a crush on him and we found out he worked at Speedway, so we'd go in and visit with him. His dad, a cop, and his mom were friends of my parents, too. Boy was everyone mad when he asked me out. My mom even let him take me on a motorcycle ride, unheard of...but he was trustworthy (as far as she knew wink wink nudge nudge)and from a good family.
So I'll never forget seeing that movie, and it was just Raiders of the Lost Ark.'
ANd I hated the sequels, especially The Last Crusade. My ex and I walked out. It was horrid. [/tangentbutthat'sokit'smythread]

ANd I hated the sequels
My boy LOVED the movie when he saw it a week ago. He knows there are sequels, and I keep telling him how bad they are, but he wants to see them anyway. I suppose it would be a life lesson for him that the sequels almost always suck, but I want him to hold on to the glow of Raiders for a while longer.
Plus, Temple of Doom is scary. They rip out that dude's still beating heart.
Is he old enough for The Godfather? There's the rare case of the second one being even better than the first one, which was pretty damn good!
So, so wrong. Raiders was just Raiders of the Lost Arc. Just becaue they've retrospectively added the Indiana Jones tag, no reason for that to affect the 80's release listing.
I think he's too young for that. (4th grade.)
Oh, yeah. Well...later on.

It's Q: The Winged Serpent

I watched Q The Winged Serpent in an excellent series of cult movies on TV.
I don't remember if it was any good, but I had a crush on a film buff and couldn't wait to be able to drop it into conversation over lunch some time.
Yeah, Rambo is a bit like Indiana Jones.
Rambo is nothing like Indiana Jones!!!
I meant the title screw up. It was after the franchise took off that they added the name to the movie title.
Rambo First Blood part II
Because it can't be "First Blood" because that doesn't start with an R
I'm pretty sure in the original First Blood movie in Oregon or wherever it is, he doesn't wear a head band.
Turns out I'm wrong. He wears a dark one that blends in with his hair.
So we're on S?
S is Short Circuit.

I'm not going to be really sure about V.
The answer given, I can't find a close enough image for. But I can't find anything else that is close. So give the image you think it is if you can.

Oh blimey - I loved that film!
Wouldn't have got it in a million years though.
Or not tonight, at least.
This means I get to be the one to say
Weird Science!!!
Yeah, that's the closest one I found too. Doesn't really match but it seems to be the consensus.

There you go. I was wondering why there was no Kelly image.
I think Y must be Youngblood.

Damn, stepped out for tea, came back, all done!
Well done all, and especially Infi.
Yes, infi, these are wonderful
I'm sorry. :(
Maybe he'll do a fifties one.
I'm sad there are no more. That was a blast.
Or a 30s! You and I would recognize Scarlett in about two seconds, right? :)
