The '80s - Movie Dumping Ground For The 20th Century....

This is probably just my opinion, but there were more movies released during the 1980's than in any other period in man's history on Earth. Many were good. Many more were bad. Still others were just...mehhhhh....

There were so many, in fact, that there are probably some that came out that you, the innocent bystander, have never heard of. Case in point:

Didja know that Frankie (Avalon) and Annette (Funicello) made a beach movie...in 1987??



You may have seen Creepshow, but did you know there was a sequel? Didn't think so.



This one was just released on DVD, otherwise no one else would have remembered one of Fred Savage's lesser vehicles. Great ad for Nintendo, though....



This beauty came out in 1987 (again with that year) and features some of the biggest names in movies. Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man....



Michael J. Fox had a busy career in the '80s, but not everything could be a Back To The Future.



Poor Stephen King. Why did everyone in Hollywood think that all of his books needed made into a movie? Sure, King scribbles it on a table napkin, hands it to a movie exec, they wet themselves and shell out $20 million to film it. Yeah; poor guy....



And to top it all off, who deserves to be embarassed for his efforts more than Mister Tom Hanks, ladies and gentlemen!!



And that, of course, is merely the tip of the iceberg. And it has a long way to go till it melts, believe me.

Dope out.
