Your favorite movies of 1989?

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
Field Of Dreams
Major League
Dead Poets Society
When Harry Met Sally

 

I'm not a fan of 80's movies even though I was a kid and teenager on that decade (6 years old in 1980, 15 in 1989) and except for E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Alien's I don't have fond memories from 80's movies. As a kid I considered many of them to be silly and now being almost 45 I just added more silly movies from the 80's to my list.
I don't have any movie from 1989 I specially liked.

 

Some of my favourites from the year:
Johnny Handsome
Dead Poets Society
Sea of Love
Back to the Future 2
Casualties of War
Drugstore Cowboy

 

Drugstore Cowboy

 

baker boys
When harry met sally
Still hold up 4 me

 

I'm surprised glory wasn't in top 10. Moneymaker
Roger and me cool film but funny and sad

 

uncle buck
Black rain
Not a great year imo

 

I was 10 years old in 1989, and therefore the perfect age for Xmas Vacation, Batman, Ghostbusters II and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Been a long time since I felt the need to watch any of those last three though.

Other 1989 favourites:
Heathers
Pet Sematary
Sex, Lies, and Videotape
The Abyss
Johnny Handsome
Drugstore Cowboy
Santa Sangre

Surprised to see how many people have Drugstore Cowboy on their lists. I haven't met a lot people that have even seen it. I know it was a fixture on late night cable back in the early 90's. That is where I first saw it.

I think that was when I first noticed the beautiful Heather Graham



The dialogue between Matt Dillion and William S. Burroughs was also memorable.

Oh yeah. No hats on the bed!

 

I know why 1989 sucked for movies, no
Arnold Schwarzenegger !!!!!!!

The 'Burbs
Communion
