    Just wondering, since a lot of you guys were born in the 90's, I'm assuming that most of you haven't seen a ton of films from the 80's, well, I have, like a staggering amount, and while there's a handful that still get a lot of hype and mentioned from time to time, many of them have fallen by the wayside, sadly. So I figured I'd compile you all a list of IMO very underrated must see films, that you'll all probably love, if you don't set your expectations too high. In no particular order, these are some of my non obvious favorites.

    Weekend At Bernie's, The Burbs, The Principal, The Best Of Times, Cocktail, Red Heat, Revenge Of The Nerds 1&2, Funny Farm, Ernest Goes To Camp, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Sure Thing, Nighthawks, Porky's, American Ninja, Savage Beach, License To Drive, Pretty In Pink, The Dream Team, Cobra, Police Academy, The Delta Force, Down & Out In Beverly Hills, Crocodile Dundee 1&2, About Last Night, Wildcats, Major League, Who's Harry Crumb, The Great Outdoors, Little Darlings, April Fools Day, Jaws The Revenge, Over The Top, Harry And The Hendersons, Good Morning Vietnam, Some Kind Of Wonderful, The Return Of Swamp Thing, A Fish Called Wanda, Working Girl, Talk Radio, Lean On Me, Say Anything, Streets Of Fire, Runaway, Maniac Cop, Critters, The Hunger, 2019 After The Fall Of New York, All The Right Moves, Valley Girl, Southern Comfort, Extreme Prejudice, The King Of Comedy, 48 Hrs, On Golden Pond, Another 48 Hrs, UHF, Cyborg, Disorganized Crime.

    Enjoy:deal:


    The more obvious ones being, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Aliens, Predator, Top Gun, The Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, Conan the Barbarian, Conan The Destroyer, Robocop, Commando, Rambo 1-3, The Big Chill, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Road House, Beetlejuice, The Goonies, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Coming To America, Rocky 4, etc.

    Excellent. I have no problems doing it along with you but i am just thinking for vacations etc...

    Sounds great...

    I am happy if that can be recorded that it was a decision with KD's ?? Agree it needs to be weighted lower if it can.

    Some belters in there @CST80

    Just seeing that list reminded me that so many although not necessarily massively rated in today's history but at the time were brilliant films.

    I used to keep a list when I was a kid of all the movies I saw, and I found it a few days ago, and I was going through it, and a ton of memories came back to, some of them I haven't seen in 20 years, its crazy the amount of films that were just pure fun, that were made back then, and the fact that I can still vividly remember many of them, and I can't remember what I saw last week, either means I have short term memory loss issues:lol: or that films of today, kind of pale in comparison to these little trashy but joyful films back then.

    Bump this, so it doesn't get lost that quickly.

    WBK ELO rankings

    @nellybc has approved the use of ELO for the match-ups, so here are current rankings. @nellybc and I will maintain the rankings. In view of this we will be using a simplified version of ELO to make it simple and possible to calculate by hand. Hence there are some slight rating differences from the list before, but nothing major.

    'pablinov' [2053] (7-3)

    After the completion of the WBK Series 13 fixtures posted by @nellybc, the ELO system will be used to determine future pairings for Series 14 and beyond. Good luck everyone!!
