            @lilbud it's absolutly amazing! The show gives you that creepy/scary 80's movie feelings but with an amazing plot and effects! You will be hooked after one episode 👻 And if you got the time, have you seen the movie 'the Lost Boys'? It would make a great screen!

                The Lost Boys was a great movie back in the day! I haven't seen it in years so I don't know how well it holds up today. Many years later they made a sequel but I never saw it and heard that it wasn't very good and only Corey Feldman reprises his roll from the first movie.

                I guess there's actually 2 sequels and they both went straight to video.

                Never seen that movie. But I am going through a bunch of old movies.

                @lilbud what old movies have you been watching or planning on watching?

                    @backstander the 2 sequels where crap... The original is still great! Got a copy on vhs, dvd, SE dvd and blu ray. Vertigo ( comicbook publisher) is making a Lost Boys comic

                      Those where all great movies that I remember watching when I was a kid. Others I remember enjoying as a kid where The Goonies, The 3 Amigos, The Neverending Story, Beetlejuice, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, the 2 Bill & Ted movies, Uncle Buck, Airplane!, The Karate Kid and some of my friends didn't agree but I kind of likes the 2nd Highlander movie better.

                      If you haven't already, you should watch the original Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness movies...then maybe watch the TV show Ash vs Evil Dead.
                      I think those would make a great splashscreen!

                      Also The Secret of NIMH which was a dark cartoon but had some great visuals!

                        Don't forget 'Within the Woods' that started it all.

                          I enjoy a movie with Bruce Campbell in it! Even if it's a really bad B-movie lol!

                            Also, how awesome was it to see Ellen Sandweiss make her return as Cheryl a few weeks back? Great season so far!

                              Blade Runner is a "must-watch". But Neverending Story... I don't like it...

                              I don't know if you are looking for movies from the 80's only, but here's a short list that I like:

                              • Total Recall
                              • 2001: a Space Odyssey
                              • 12 Monkeys
                              • A Clockwork Orange

                              • rpie-art tool
                              • achievements I made

                                I agree those are good movies!

                                But Neverending Story... I don't like it...

                                I saw that as a kid and loved it but I did watch it about 5-6 years ago and it hasn't aged well

                                Total Recall

                                I bet you're talking about the original 1990 version even though the 2012 reboot wasn't that bad.

                                2001: a Space Odyssey

                                Is a great story but has some excruciatingly slow scenes but worth a watch non-the-less. Also A Clockwork Orange was directed by the same director!

                                12 Monkeys

                                This is a great story as well. Really makes you think if you can follow it lol

                                I might also add:

                                • Fight Club
                                • Interview with the Vampire
                                • Butterfly Effect
                                • Donnie Darko

                                Hopefully you don't come down with depression after watching all these movies lol

                                          Here's something I made as a proof of concept, let me know what you guys think :) I did this in Paint. The biggest flaw here is the color around the letters (blue and purple-ish), because the original lettering of the Neo Geo logo only has white and shades of grey. The font is bold Times New Roman, I used a size of 40pt.
