TPSG Top 10 Movies of 1987

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 1987:
  1. Full Metal Jacket - Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin
  2. The Princess Bride - Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin
  3. Lethal Weapon - Mel Gibson, Danny Glover
  4. Less Than Zero - Andrew McCarthy, Robert Downey Jr, 
  5. No Way Out - Kevin Costner, Sean Young. 
  6. Good Morning, Vietnam - Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker
  7. Wall Street - Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas
  8. Fatal Attraction - Michael Douglas, Glenn Close
  9. Raising Arizona - Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter
  10. House of Games - Lindsay Crouse, Joe Mantegna
Look at that list, 1987 was a great year for movies!  Stanley Kubrick made a masterpiece in "Full Metal Jacket", the brutality of war really sticks with you after watching this one, the performances of R Lee Ermey & Vincent D'Onofrio were also truly unforgettable.  "The Princess Bride" is hilarious and the cast is great, it's a film a whole family can enjoy, I loved it.  Back when he was sane, Mel Gibson made some very entertaining movies, "Lethal Weapon" being one of them.  "Less Than Zero" is one of those rare movies that will stick with you for awhile.  I'm still shocked by the ending of "No Way Out".  "Good Morning Vietnam" was the perfect movie to fit Robin Williams talents.  Gordon Gekko is one of cinema's great characters, he and Charlie Sheen are fantastic in "Wall Street".  Married men everywhere had nightmares after watching "Fatal Attraction".  "Raising Arizona" was one of the Coen Brothers early gems.  If you like twists and turns, you'll love "House of Games".
