Need a 80s classic

[JOEPRO]

Film that is.

Watched No Country for no man the other night again. Not 80s mind but an excellent film.

Any suggestions for a good 80s thriller or similar?

Witness, Southern Comfort, Firefox, Die Hard, Mississippi Burning

The Terminator (1984), I would have also said Terminator 2 Judgement Day but that's 1991, I think. Of the two films I preferred Terminator 2 but it's outside the '80's parameter.
I did watch No Country For Old Men on Netflix or I Player recently and also reread the book last month. I think the book is better as it catches the idioms of rural Texas as the wartime generation (WW2) struggles with the reality of the post Vietnam War situation in the US.

Terminator 2 is a rare sequel that outshines the original

What about the Matrix 2

Hmmm, I had (maybe have in the loft) a 10 dvd boxset of all the matrix films plus extras. I think the first one is better

Aliens, the second one, it's not a bad follow up.

Southern Comfort

Classic

Aliens bit slow Mat beat me too that, the first one was called Alien. Aliens is the second one.

The original, directors cut, of Alien is fantastic. The directors cut of Aliens explains Ripley's feelings to Newt

Mad Max 2, 1981.
