List R rated movies from the 80s 90s i should whatch today

[run2pee]

Broke my spine in a car crash so i need something to do besides play switch until my eyes gush n flow n bleed

Wasn’t allowed to watch R rated movies as a young run2p so i missed a lot of horror classics for example or like dramas with adult themese and/or plenty tiddies

So help me out what’s remained watchable for a broken old man of today, help me fill in the holes of my culturals

[ilikeplanets]

90s horror seems dominated by King movies and slasher throwbacks, neither of which are my thing. Candyman and Blair Witch are pretty popular. I like 2000s horror better, personally. Find them scarier.

Pretty Woman

[yo soy el mejor]

boyz n the hood, duh.

(first rated r movie my mommy took me to see)

[yo soy el mejor]

wow. did you really break your spine in a wreck? so sorry, man.

[pinetree]

i was going to parody the fuck out of this thread title but then i read about the car crash and theres nothing funny about that...so....porky's, fast times at ridgemont high, trees lounge, ghost world

[Raskolnikov]

Man, yeah - spinal injury sounds miserable.

One thing can fix that, and that is COMMANDO starring Arnold. I too was part of the no R rated movie club, and that thing is out of this world.

Then head into some vintage Norris and Bronson filmography... you really can't go wrong anywhere in those libraries. Love INVASION USA and THE OCTAGON from Chuck.

[Shallowed]

i hope you're getting good drugs

Watching robocop now, we need a run2p that doesn’t need to eat or sleep, superior firepower and the reflexes to use it

So far norco which is kinda sucks since has Tylenol in it so i can’t take as needed have to wait like 4 hours, but also cyclobenzosprine which is working better, also gave me some medrol dospak but this is steroids which was aggravating those good ol manias so had to throw those in the trash

[ilikeplanets]

Steroids are fucking terrible. I was prescribed a couple rounds last summer but threw them out, they absolutely destroyed my stomach in a matter of hours. Hope you're feeling a little better. Have you actually watched any of these movies yet?

Anyhow,
Here are some hard stone cold classics. I love every single one of these to death and totally envy you for being able to watch them for the first time:

Goodfellas and Casino (Scorsese in general is one of my fav humans)

Terminator 1+2

Magnolia + Boogie Nights (And any other Paul Thomas Anderson is gold, he is brilliant)

Pulp Fiction + Kill Bill (Tarantino)

Commando (not really x-rated but it I guarantee you'll have a good time watching this)

FIGHT CLUB

Full Metal Jacket + The Shining (Kubrick)

Scarface

More strictly horror genre:

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Halloween + Friday the 13th

Blue Velvet is some prime fucked up David Lynch. Also Mulhulland Drive and Lost Highway

[Joey Goldberg]

damn can't believe I forgot to mention Lynch

get it together Goldberg

[yo soy el mejor]

if u ain't seen Blood In, Blood Out you ain't no real man, vato.

[yo soy el mejor]

Then there's American Me, Menace II Society, Dead Presidents....so much awesome violence (!!!) with some real lessons and truths at the core. damn.

[Nimrod's Son]

Primer. Then watch it again.

[topleybird]

[topleybird]

It and Upstream Color are amazing, and I always hoped he'd be able to get A Topiary made because that script is fuckin' bonkers

Unfortunately the bulk of his work since UC seems to have been domestically abusing Amy Seimetz so, probably not gonna see whatever he does next if that is, in fact, something beyond bagging groceries

[Joey Goldberg]
