I've got it covered.

That movie was cheesy and hokey as hell, but the people in it were great. The main guy was also in North and South.

Some of y'all need to learn what "unsung" means.

:)

Losin it
Strange Brew

See No Evil, Hear No Evil

Heathers
Educating Rita
Cannery Row - More drama than comedy, but quite funny.
Modern Romance

Drop Dead Fred

Clue is hilarious

Good call.

Also, Best of Times.

BTW, KCTatoo,
The Jerk was a 70s movie (1979). ;)

Would Real Genius and Big Trouble In Little China be considered unsung?

How about UHF?

Casual Sex? is pretty funny and you don't hear much about it.

I saw that in the theater the day I turned 16 (got my license that day and got drive in to the city to see it) - Feb 1980. Honorary '80's movie.

Popeye
Not sure if this fits unsung -Sixteen Candles

The Sure Thing..basically anything John Cusack


Class

Rob Lowe and Jacqueline (Yummy!) Bisset


Risky Business

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Meh, fair enough.

How about Beetlejuice?

Private Eyes - Don Knotts and Tim Conway.

Loved Cannery Row too.

Max Dugan Returns.

I just remembered a couple of others that I really liked

Into The Night which starred Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The Gods Must Be Crazy (may not be unsung)

Earnest Goes To Camp

Beetlejuice had a ****ton of fanfare and publicity way back when.

Secret Admirer was pretty funny.
Once Bitten - Jim Carrey becomes a vampire

Running Scared is another favorite 80's comedy. They tried to turn Billy Crystal into an action star.

Unsung or not, Big Trouble In Little China and Midnight Run are probably my favorite 80's comedies (looking at my list, it appears that I favor action comedies).

One of the top 80's comedies is supposed to be A Fish Called Wanda. Even though I am a Monty Python fan, I didn't find it funny at all. The same holds true for The Blues Brothers. I never actually saw it until last year and didn't care for it. I think it might be one of those "you had to be there" deals.

Good call. Starred Kelly Preston and a young Lori Loughlin, one of my favorite 80's babes. :thumb:

Speaking of Kelly Preston, can't forget Mischief.

Jaws the Revenge, so horrible its funny.

Underrated. And with Dennis Hopper.

The Hollywood Knights. Hot cars and hot women!

Was Remo Williams 80's, think it was supposed to be action, but I thought it was funny.

In the 80s, I thought DC Cab was funny. Saw it again a few weeks ago. Not as funny as I remembered.

Volunteers with Tom Hanks was pretty good.

Shakes

The Night Before with Keanu Reeves and a young Lori Loughlin

Real Men with Jim Belushi and John Ritter

Better Off Dead as others have mentioned

Better Off Dead, The Lost Boys, License To Drive. I know they've been mentioned but those are the favs.

Heh. This was on HBO about an hour ago.

Speaking of Tom Hanks and Jim Belushi, I really liked The Man With One Red Shoe. Plus Carrie Fisher in leopard spot undies! :drool:

Be Forever Yamato.

The Brother From Another Planet.

Brazil.

Akira.

Those aren't comedies. I was just ****ing with you guys. By all means, carry on.

Anyone remember the movie "After Hours"? It's a Martin Scorcese comedy (dark comedy, I suppose) about a very ordinary guy in New York who goes out to meet a girl he doesn't really know, then loses his keys and his wallet and spends the rest of the evening just trying to find a way to get back home. It's a great movie that didn't get much attention, probably because the humor and the characters were definitely offbeat. Worth watching, especially for anyone who really lived the 80's.

Nothing But Trouble

Ackroyd
Chase
Candy

Classic

This!

Horrible movie, but a guilty pleasure of mine.

Not unsung, but Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield always cracked me up. Real Genius too.

Diner

I've wrung my hands for the right pick way too long... when you had the perfect answer all along.

Absurd perfection.
