During the 80’s, I was just toddler growing up and I was not yet going to movie theaters. But if we talk about movies from the 80’s that I watched, oh well most of my favorites are from that decade. Some of my all-time favorite movies are Star Wars sequels The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were both released during the 80’s. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, India Jones & the Temple of Doom, and India Jones and the Last Crusade came out during the 1981, 1984 and 1989 respectively. I had a big crush with Harrison Ford back then. It was also the time of Ghostbusters, Gremlins and The Karate Kid, all in 1984. The controversial Best Picture of 1986 Oscars, Platoon, became my first war movie favorite so as Robo Cop, Die Hard, Predator, Batman, Lethal Weapon and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Don’t forget the movies by Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2 and of course, Coming to America. The 80’s were really full of blockbuster movies and most of them are my favorites.

If you remember, this was also the decade where the movie WarGames was released. It was a movie about a hacker, played by Matthew Broderick, who gets the chance to play a game with the US Military’s war computer. The movie itself was way ahead of its time but definitely has its relevance today. Anyway, if you missed seeing WarGames, here is your chance to reminiscence this classic sci-fi flick on July 24th in celebration of its 25th Anniversary. It will be shown on selected theaters all over the US for one night only. Again, for one night only! The movie will include never-before-seen interviews of the cast (Broderick and Sheedy) and of course, with the film creators too. You will also get a chance to take a sneak peek on the making of its sequel – WarGames: The Dead Code.
