Even excluding the stuff he directed (which this poll does), dude had his finger in a number of huge '80s pop cultural pies. And also some very shitty pies that no one wanted to eat. What's your favorite, then?

I HEART CREEPY MENS (Deric W. Haircare), Saturday, 21 November 2009 11:48 (sixteen years ago)

back to the future or poltergeist

max, Saturday, 21 November 2009 11:51 (sixteen years ago)

Back to the Future or Joe Versus the Volcano. Went the former.

The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Saturday, 21 November 2009 14:10 (sixteen years ago)

Poltergeist is far and away my favorite of these movies.

james cameron gargameled my boner for life (Pancakes Hackman), Saturday, 21 November 2009 14:17 (sixteen years ago)

Actually, Poltergeist - Gremlins - Back To The Future trifecta is pretty un-fuckwithable

james cameron gargameled my boner for life (Pancakes Hackman), Saturday, 21 November 2009 14:18 (sixteen years ago)

Roger Rabbit, then Gremlins and BttF.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 21 November 2009 14:41 (sixteen years ago)

Roger Rabbit. What a fantastic movie.

Communi-Bear Silo State (chap), Saturday, 21 November 2009 19:11 (sixteen years ago)

Goonies, hands down.

Madchen, Saturday, 21 November 2009 19:30 (sixteen years ago)

Poltergeist

Xiffy Pup (Eric H.), Saturday, 21 November 2009 19:32 (sixteen years ago)

BttF

Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 21 November 2009 20:26 (sixteen years ago)

with the exception of poltergeist, for me this is mostly a question of, what's your favorite bob zemeckis joint? back to the future, probably.

hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 21 November 2009 20:42 (sixteen years ago)

any one of the obvious choices are correct, though I, personally, can't go for BTTF because of #s II and III i.e. the spawn that came after.

I would like to give voice to the voiceless American Tail, *Batteries not included and Innerspace.

Meatcat (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Sunday, 22 November 2009 00:00 (sixteen years ago)

Goonies, followed incrediably closely by roger rabbit, bttf (which i didnt notice was all 3), & batteries not included

johnny crunch, Sunday, 22 November 2009 00:03 (sixteen years ago)

oh and fuckin GREMLINS, shit dude had the pulse of my adolescence

johnny crunch, Sunday, 22 November 2009 00:04 (sixteen years ago)

imma vote used cars cuz that's what i do when used cars is in a poll

Loved the shit out of this movie back when I was 12 and it was on HBO every day of the summer.

& other try hard shitfests (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Sunday, 22 November 2009 02:06 (sixteen years ago)

BttF but Roger Rabbit or Innerspace depending on mood too

Louis Cll (darraghmac), Sunday, 22 November 2009 02:18 (sixteen years ago)

one month passes...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Gremlins 2 is damn near perfect. Goonies is too "oh I saw it once when I was 6 but I still bought the T-shirt and reference it every chance I get" for me.

EDB, Thursday, 24 December 2009 01:14 (sixteen years ago)

Goonies blows

The reverse TARDIS of pasta (Niles Caulder), Thursday, 24 December 2009 02:23 (sixteen years ago)

TAKE IT BACK

Quiet, I'm making my Youtube Star Wars Review (Z S), Thursday, 24 December 2009 02:24 (sixteen years ago)

another vote for gremlins 2, which is AWESOME

See? It's Gremlins 2. Sorry Z S

The reverse TARDIS of pasta (Niles Caulder), Thursday, 24 December 2009 02:33 (sixteen years ago)

As much as I liked it then, there's no way I could sit through 5 minutes Goonies today. Vote goes to Poltergeist, which I was too scared/religious to see as a kid.

WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 24 December 2009 03:01 (sixteen years ago)

def Gremlins, but Gremlins 2 is one of the greatest sequels ever. Similar to Evil Dead 2 in that it takes a funny horror film and turns it into outright satire.

Cosmo Vitelli, Thursday, 24 December 2009 03:03 (sixteen years ago)

i was just talking to a friend at work today about the scene in poltergeist where they smoke a joint after the kids go to bed, and how you never see that kind of thing anymore. (conversation was prompted by some movie that i don't remember being rated R because it depicted "drug use with no negative consequences.")

hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 24 December 2009 03:14 (sixteen years ago)

oh ya like GHOSTS arent negative consequences

j/k and the fa™an (s1ocki), Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:01 (sixteen years ago)

gremlins and gremlins 2 are amazing but back to the future for me, if only for the memory, aged about 11, of an entire cinema rising to it's feet to cheer Biff getting punched. still probably my single favourite 'udience' moment in a cinema.

piscesx, Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:06 (sixteen years ago)

how would u define 'udience'

j/k and the fa™an (s1ocki), Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:07 (sixteen years ago)

the ghosts are not brought about by the marijuana! they are brought about by evil suburban developers.

hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:30 (sixteen years ago)

tho being stoned and having poltergeists is probably not a good combination.

hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:31 (sixteen years ago)

Poltergeist beating The Goonies is a very nice Christmas present, et al.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Friday, 25 December 2009 05:06 (sixteen years ago)

richie aprile (rockapads), Friday, 25 December 2009 20:07 (sixteen years ago)

nice to see him lending his name to intimate, more personal projects that could use the support

reagan & sarah (s1ocki), Friday, 25 December 2009 23:35 (sixteen years ago)

at least he managed to keep his hands off forrest gump.

hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 26 December 2009 03:13 (sixteen years ago)

uh-huh

hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 26 December 2009 03:32 (sixteen years ago)

eight years pass...

So should I create a new poll covering Spielberg productions through the present day or just assume that one of the Transformers films will take the title?

Senior Soft-Serve Tech at the Froyo Arroyo (Old Lunch), Friday, 2 February 2018 13:17 (eight years ago)

Yeah, actually, glancing at the list, I'm right there with you, Morbs.

Senior Soft-Serve Tech at the Froyo Arroyo (Old Lunch), Friday, 2 February 2018 13:18 (eight years ago)

I was thinking my 1990 cut-off date was arbitrary but nah.
