Thank you kindly Tek,

Game 5 was a close fought match with Rocky Balboa getting knocked out in the 1st round, and 48 hours wasnt long enough to keep them in the next round either. So E.T The Extra Terrestrial has to wait a little while longer before phoning home as it goes through as the seeded winner, followed by the Police Academy guys who shared the same votes as 48 hours but reached the target first, everyone to the Blue Oyster bar for a celebration!

Blues Brothers!!!

In my top 20.

The Blues Brothers

The Three Amigos

Another round of great movies for me, I like Blues Brothers the least out of the four even though it's still great.

I have no shame in saying I love Top Gun, cheesy as fuck, saw it in a late night showing a few years ago full of fans and it was one of the best/funniest atmospheres I have been to watching a film. And I will be hated for saying this but I think Tom Cruise is a very underrated actor. Just watch his understated acting in Rain Man and Magnolia.

Also I loved Chevy Chase in the 80's, and when I grew up I loved Steve Martin even more, but it's Martin Short who steals the movie for me in the Three Amigo's. Love it! He also was in another great 80's film I loved with Nick Nolte called Three Fugitives, and Innerspace with Dennis Quaid, both movies sadly not in this comp. This movie was actually Martin Short's film debut. 

But my vote goes to The Empire Strikes Back. I am a Star Wars whore, it's not even my favourite (that's Return of the Jedi!) but there is only a couple of movies I would vote over Empire in this competition and they haven't been drawn yet 

Sieb you obviously have a serious thing aboot then 80s.

Waxing lyrical aboot Tom Cruise. Are you a scientoligist?

Score update:

Three Amigos: 2
Top Gun: 0
The Blues Brothers: 3
The Empire Strikes Back: 4.

This has been quite a high scoring round so far, would people like me to keep the 9pm deadline for tomorrow night or change it to 9am in the morning so we can get another game going asap. I'm easy and can do either time. 

In any event would someone be so kind and give me 4 numbers from 1-36 please!

I'd say 9pm finish Siebby.

9pm it is then. Got the numbers for the next game so it should be up at the back of 9.

Just off the nightshifts this morning and not back till Sunday for my dayshifts now, so have a few days off with the kids

Thank you Tek, I am enjoying doing it, I now realise how much work you have to put in for it so hats off to you for doing all the competitions before 

The wife works full time as well so I get to play Mr Mum (another decent 80's film!) during the day. The girls help me pick the movie posters to put up, but their other favourite 80's films havent come out yet in this competition. I was in the dog house for a while because I didnt let their all time favourite film in, which is currently on loop in my house at the minute

 
 

The movie posters have been top notch so far; Highlander, 48 Hours, Ferris Buller, Platoon and Gregory's Girl are fantastic. Favourites so far:



(Still need to get this and frame it!)
