Best Movies of 1987

When it comes to classics, 1987 is one of the most memorable years in movie history. The list includes movies like Robocop, Dirty Dancing, Predator, and Dream Warriors. The best movies of 1987 are all classics, and you'll surely find one you love on this list. But which ones are the best? Here are some suggestions. If you're looking for the perfect movie for your next movie night, 1987 is the year for you!

Robocop

Among the best movies of the eighties, Robocop is a unique blend of technology and drama. The computer-programmed Robocop has a lifetime of law enforcement experience, and he's a deadly weapon with steel-plated muscles and lightning-fast reflexes. Although the film's action sequences are a little repetitive, the themes of abuse of power and the misuse of technology are intriguing.

Although it's been deemed one of the greatest movies of all time, RoboCop is not a movie for the faint of heart. Despite its high level of violence and gore, many critics have hailed RoboCop as one of the best films of all time. Indeed, the movie was so well received that it has been listed on many lists, including the prestigious AFI 100 Series, which celebrates the best films in the classic genres of American cinema.

The story of the film's creation is interesting. Its creators originally conceived the story while working on Blade Runner (1982). However, it was Miner and Neumeier who developed the plot of RoboCop. In early 1985, Jon Davison, who represented Orion Pictures, bought the script. Finding a director proved to be a problem, and Paul Verhoeven rejected the project twice before agreeing to direct it. Ultimately, the producers found a director in RoboCop, but it was not until October 2004 that the movie received a release on DVD. In addition, the production team included the singer Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy, who was credited with vocals in RoboCop.

The film's attitude towards the gender divide was groundbreaking for the time. In a sequence where male and female police officers are separated for the first time, both genders change in openly, "RoboCop" creator Paul Verhoeven reveals that the movie "attempted to make a gender-neutral film". Despite this, the film would later go on to use the co-ed locker room idea for its remake, "Starship Troopers."

Dream Warriors

Dream Warriors is a sequel to the slasher classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, which was released in 1987. The sequel is often deemed one of the best films of that year. Although A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 was a strange take on the mythology of Freddy Krueger, Dream Warriors brought the Franchise back to its roots. Fans of the series also love this film because it establishes the framework for future entries.

Fans of the original Nightmare on Elm Street series will appreciate the sequel. The film has a great cast and great effects, and features the music of Angelo Badalamenti. While this film may be the least original of the three Nightmare on Elmstreet films, the score is one of its greatest assets. Its catchphrases and creative kills make it a standout sequel. The film is still one of the best movies of 1987, and it still has a place in moviegoers' hearts.

A Nightmare on Elm Street was a hit, and Dream Warriors followed up the first two movies. This film had a resounding success, and the third movie focuses on the same characters, only with a more modern twist. "Dream Warriors" is also an interesting blend of genres, but it does come with a definitive ending. It also stars Kristen Parker, who returns in the sequel. In a similar vein, Tuesday Knight takes over the role of Patricia Arquette.

Another classic from the '80s is Nightmare on Elm Street. This supernatural horror film follows Freddy Krueger. After the original, Nancy's first victim, she tries to help other teens survive their nightmares. But Freddy keeps coming back into the dreams of the kids. In the third movie, Nancy helps the teens overcome Freddy's evil ways. Despite its dark past, Nancy survives the nightmares, and the sequel is as spooky and fun as the first one.

Dirty Dancing

It's true that "Dirty Dancing" was a hit when it was first released. Its cast was mostly unknown and it was produced by a small, fledgling studio. The film was a success, earning over $214 million worldwide. The soundtrack earned Grammys and an Oscar. It even spawned a sequel in 2004. And while the original isn't the best movie of its era, there is still plenty to love about the 1987 film.

The dancing scenes in "Dirty Dancing" are still memorable. The movie's stars are the ultimate dancers and the film itself is a joy to watch. The movie celebrates the beauty and elegance of dance. It's full of memorable quotes, dance scenes, and longing looks. If you haven't seen "Dirty Dancing" yet, you're missing out on one of the best movies of all time.

"Dirty Dancing" was one of the most popular movies of the 80s, but the movie was also a huge hit. The film's choreography is breathtaking, and its cast is filled with stars like Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. The movie's soundtrack was composed by Jerry Orbach and Jennifer Grey. This movie is rated PG-13 for its suggestive content, so watch out for that.

While Dirty Dancing is a classic and one of the best movies from 1987, it still feels fresh 30 years after it first hit theaters. Its cast is unlike any other, and there is no way to replicate the amazing cast that the movie has. Among its many unique features, the movie features a young Princess called Baby, who is actually named Frances. Frances is Baby's older sister and is socially conscious, planning to join the Peace Corps after completing Mt. Holyoke's economics program.

Predator

While the original Predator was a dark and violent film, this sequel is far from the same thing. It starts with humans as the Predators' enemies, and takes its time introducing its new enemy. While it lacks the thrill of the original, the sequel rehashes the story without compromising the quality of the original. It also makes use of the secrecy of the mission and its team to hammer the movie home.

The visual effects of this film are truly state-of-the-art. Jean-Claude Van Damme in a rubber suit spearheads the creature's design. The predator is easily one of cinema's most memorable monsters. Predator received a single Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects. Despite being a science fiction film, Predator is a surprisingly powerful film, demonstrating that it's possible to make a great movie in a few hours.

The film also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. The story follows a group of special ops soldiers, who go to a remote jungle in South America to rescue hostages taken by leftist guerillas. They soon discover that the target is a Soviet spy-invasion camp. In the midst of all the bloodshed, an alien spaceship crashes near the site. When they investigate the alien craft, they realize that the alien is tall and vicious, and the mission is put on hold.

Dutch's line about Dillon's CIA involvement saved the film. The other lines were trite, but the movie remained memorable. Dutch's morally upright mercenary fought the Predator head-on to the death. While this was a risky move, the effort was worth it. As the movie ends, the face of the Predator is revealed. Dutch's reaction was the same as that of the audience.

Slaughterhouse

Slaughterhouse is one of the most underrated horror movies of all time. While it has some similarities with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the film lacks a classic feel. Although the murders are gruesome, the deaths are quick and the deaths aren't overly over the top. While it aims to be a horror classic, Slaughterhouse falls short of the mark. It attempts to be both scary and funny, but fails to reach the heights of the Hooper classic. It needs to align its laughs with the scares, otherwise it will just come off as a generic slasher movie.

Despite its low-budget production values, Slaughterhouse is an entertaining and highly-recommended film for horror fans. Though it doesn't fully engage in a social commentary about factory farming, the film is a great slasher nonetheless. The new Blu-ray release of Slaughterhouse is one of the best horror releases of 2017, and it deserves to be in every horror fan's collection.

This 1987 film stars Lester Bacon as a butcher who runs a meat processing plant in an overpopulated small town. It follows the story of two men, Lester Bacon and Buddy Bacon, who own a slaughterhouse. Their local town wants to buy the property, but Lester refuses to sell, and is willing to fight to keep it. As a result, local teenagers sneak onto his property and film a horror movie.

Although Slaughterhouse was released in 1987, it was still very much relevant in its time. Even though it came at the end of the slasher era, it had several aspects that made it a classic. It has a decent storyline, good acting, and a killer that can make us remember the movie. And with interesting kill scenes, Slaughterhouse is a great slasher flick.
