    The Hunger needs more votes. An excellent vampire movie and a great cast! Do it for David Bowie!

    This scene alone makes Temple of Doom fantastic. It's pure movie-making goodness.

    Couldn't agree more. Such a great movie, with an ending to die for.

    Footloose is about as good an 80s film as there is. Great stuff! One of those guilty pleasures.
