You definitely need some slasher movies, maybe Friday the 13th 3 or Nightmare on Elm Street 3

Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2.
Yes I'm serious.

>>81523895
Seconded. The original is a horror classic but TCM 2 is a much better movie for watching with friends. So off the rails and batshit insane.

>>81523895
Why would anyone think you're not serious?

It's a great sequel.

>>81523895
I thought it was better than the original

The only thing I would put up against it would be Mad Max and the Road Warrior as low budget/brilliant writing masterpieces

ESB was 1980, barely counts.

Can we agree that it's simply unfair that Die Hard is remembered as a Christmas movie but Lethal Weapon is neglected?

>>81524617
Ahh, the 1980s. The golden age of movies with punctuation in the title.

>>81524425
That blew a microchip in my brain when I first saw it. Still baffles me to this day.

>>81524528
>cash-in

In 2017, yes probably.

In the 1980s sequels actually were approximately the quality of the original. Nowadays you don't get a shitty cash-in until the director has gone 20 years in between without any other hits.

>>81524548
Christmas fit into the plot of Lethal Weapon as much as it does for Die Hard...

In the beginning Riggs is buying drugs at a Christmas tree lot. Hunsaker is drinking eggnot out of a carton when he gets killed. There's Christmas decorations up at random places. The Murtaugh's house is decorated for Christmas. Riggs ends up spending Christmas with the Murtaughs... Loads of Christmas related things in the plot. Just cause Die Hard literally takes place at a Christmas party doesn't mean it's more Christmas because the party could have been any kind of party.

>>81524754
It's kind of crazy to think that Hellraiser II came out one year after Hellraiser.

>>81524388
No. Fuck you. Anon is correct.

>>81524771
Um, most of that isn't plot, it's set decoration. Riggs spending Christmas with the Murtaughs doesn't even relate to the plot unless one of the shoot-outs happened while Riggs was there. The rest is entirely inconsequential to the plot, are you fucking retarded.

Christmas as essential to the Die Hard plot, it was the whole reason the bad guys were there, because security staff would be minimal.

A movie set during Christmas is still technically a Christmas movie. I'm sorry that you think Die Hard is better than Lethal Weapon cause you have shit taste.

Nobody's mentioned Roadhouse? Damn.

Midnight Run is great but it kind of feels more like a general classic than being so 80s. Maybe it's the setting or something.

The theme of redemption, a common theme for practically anything Christmas related (see: A Christmas Carol) is present in both Die Hard and Lethal weapon. I think it's fair to say that they're both equally Christmas movies, if they actually qualify.

80's were pretty awful overall but there were some decent foreign films
