Watched Beverly Hills Cop 2 the other day funnily enough..pure quality.

Yeah, he was 'attached' early on but got the boot when he more or less wanted to take over.

I'd pay cold hard cash to see Sly Stallone do the Johnny Wishbone bit.

[Trev]

Don't think I've watched Beverly Hills Cop in about 20 years, must dig it out again

[Carnage]

First one's great, second one's OK, third one's a big pile o' shite.

In related news, apparently a new Fletch film is on the way, John Hamm playing him. Might skip that one.

Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America and Trading Places are the holy grail really. They used be on constant repeat on tv in the 80's and I remember me and my brothers being transfixed by them. You throw in Stallone, Schwarzenneger, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Bruce Willis, The Police Academies, Top Gun, Ghostbusters, E.T....I could literally watch any of that stuff still and be more than content.

But back to Eddie Murphy, what a superstar he was, and that theme music, a bit like the pyramids at Giza, some things will just never be bettered.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling The Police Academy movies just wouldn't cut it anymore. Ghostbusters, on the other hand, timeless, even though watching it now it really does feel like a massively entertaining advertisement for a collection of figurines 

[Carnage]

The first 3 Police Academy movies push the nostalgia button in a pleasing manner for me, but they're incredibly dated and pure trigger fodder for the current generation. The rest wwmere always crap though. I don't think I bothered past the fifth one now that I think if it.

Never thought much of Coming To America TBH. Trading Places is fantastic though.

My two 5 year olds are into Ghostbusters in a massive way and I've seen the two movies at least 50 times each in the last 2 years and they are great flicks. The reboot was an abomination though and I have very low hopes for the next one as well. The old cartoons are not bad either. Coming to america is not great although I thought it was class as a young lad. Haven't tried the Police Academy movies in a long time but I must try them and also Cobra needs another go after reading about it on here. It's a great thing having the young lads to sit and watch these old flicks with; it gives me an excuse to dig them out again, they are too young to be concerned with things like shit special fx and dialogue and their delight rubs off on me.

Gonna watch the Devilman anime this evening after I was reminded of it yesterday. Might leave the kids off to bed for those though.

[Scáthach]

Ooh, Devilman, haven't seen that in years. Ya could crack on with Urotsukidoji legend of the Overfiend too. Definitely not one for the kids! 

[astfgyl]

I've never seen it, but I'm in the mood for a bit of Anime so I'll check it out. Cheers

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah my young lad loves Ghostbusters, can't get him into Indiana Jones though, he keeps skulking off before they get going.

Trading Places was a great show, and I must dig out Back to the Future this weekend (they're giving rain) and get the young lad into proper entertainment and away from the Roblox shit he plays on the iPad.

[Eoin McLove]

I thought The Daparted was pure grand.  Fucking spastic ending to it. I'm surprised the cameramen got out alive...

Bought that on DVD a while back, hated it. I think the second one's on the disc too, couldn't be arsed with it.

I find that with me own lads, I either find something to grab em in the first 10 minutes or they are gone off back to killing each other again. The lack of an attention span with young folk is truly phenomenal. I guess I would have been no different back in the day faced with the choice they have. I was one of those sorry cunts with the 2 channels and video player so if there was a film of any description on, by fuck was I sitting through it

[Pedrito]

I knew Police Academy would get it in the eye and I hesitated between nostalgia and proper quality before lobbing it into the mix. It's definitely not at the level of the others though Callaghan's titties will always hold a special place in this poor fool's heart. Coming to America pure classic comedy gold on the other hand. 'The royal penis is clean', 'Sexual chocolate'...incredible
