10 Great Films of 1986: 1986 brought us some of the most memorable films of cinema’s history. However, whether they did well in the theater or cultivated an cult following later is a different matter. 1986 was a year in which practically no genre or subgenre was unnoticed, and creativity was a major factor in the making of films.

The characters range from Maverick and Ferris from Maverick and Ferris to Ripley and Jason The characters who were either invented or re-introduced triumphantly in 1986 deserve to be been etched into the history of pop culture by rewarding their creators with a lasting legacy.

1. Stand By Me

Stand By Me is both realist in its approach as well as engaging in its ability to keep you hooked. The majority of the movie is set in 1959 when four friends embark on an excursion to search for the remains of a deceased body. While on the journey they’re confronted with challenges which ultimately increase their friendship and make the trip an extremely significant event for them in the course of their lives. The story is a rewrite from The Body novella written by Stephen King.

Stand By Me is perfectly performed, with the cast of actors in their teens (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O’Connell) playing the characters with genuine and mature self-reflective perspective. The crew and cast performed so well in making this film that not only are you able to relate to the characters’ situations however, you get the feeling that you are with the characters. With its excellent soundtrack and budget, it feels like you’re in the same place in that moment with a camera recording the story as it is unfolding. I can see many of my old acquaintances in this.

2. Top Gun

Most people are familiar with Top Gun, but in case you’re not then you must look it up. Tom Cruise plays Pete Mitchell who along with his best friend Nick (Anthony Edwards) is invited to a Naval Fighters Weapon School after promising despite being cocky and uncoordinated.

Top Gun is beautifully and spectacularly shot, featuring stunning action sequences that stand even today. The soundtrack of the film is as great as the film itself, which is always helpful. With the amount of action, it also has plenty of romantic drama and romance and it’s done exceptionally well. If you’ve not watched it, an extended trailer for the sequel came out in the last few days.

3. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Matthew Broderick stars as the main character and does an amazing job of portraying a smart high school slacker who has an obsession with adolescent rebellion. Through the movie it is a case of breaking the fourth wall along with his hypochondriac buddy Cameron (Alan Ruck) and the girl he is with (Sloane Peterson) and they decide to skip school to spend the entire day.

It’s a funny, lighthearted film that will never fail to delight. Jennifer Grey hilariously stands out as Ferris her sister Jeanie. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is surprisingly clever and delivers a clear message that not many teenage comedies of the time were able to relay. According to Ferris declares, “Life moves pretty fast; if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

4. Heartbreak Ridge

The film Heartbreak Ridge, Clint Eastwood is a decorated war veteran that is required to teach an incompetent team of combat officers. The film doesn’t really create any new ground however, it does provide an interesting contrast to other violent action movies of the past and also has more engaging dialogue than the majority of.

The script is extremely enjoyable and the film is shot with a vibrant style however what is most notable is the performance of Clint. He always plays the tough alpha, however, this one is slightly different because of the intentional inclusion of a relaxed, but vitally needed atmosphere of humor. Screenwriter’s (James Carabatsos) long-standing experience lends credibility to the film that others like it lack.

5. The Fly

The Fly remake is, in all likelihood, David Cronenberg’s most memorable film. It’s an exquisitely crafted, tragic drama based on a character with stunningly terrifying effects. Jeff Goldblum portrays a scientist known as Seth who develops the teleportation device, which ultimately is his own fault when flying insects land in the device.

As he starts to alter and become more attractive to his girlfriend, Veronica (Geena Davis) is left in a state of despair as she watches the person she loves turn into an uncontrollable monster with a bizarre notion of how to handle the events that have occurred. Beyond its fantastic entertaining, The Fly has a strong storyline that transcends metaphor by its power to provoke thoughts or fears of illness or changes.

6. People who are ruthless

Danny DeVito and Bette Midler are a wealthy couple who are in conflict with one another, and it is funny with Ruthless People. Barbara is kidnapped and taken for ransom. Sam isn’t bothered and believes they’ll fulfill their promises of killing her. In a state of denial, unable to extract anything of Sam the kidnappers (Helen Slater as well as Judge Reinhold) are stuck in figuring out the best way to get rid of their mess.

Ruthless People is a surprisingly hilarious, well-written movie that has surprising acting twists. The three directors have taken an already intriguing concept and made it more engaging. It’s interesting to see Danny DeVito and Bette Midler as a wealthy couple being trapped in a loveless relationship is what makes the film more intriguing and unique. When you think of the plot none of them comes to your mind. Interesting enough, they’re both the ideal choice for their characters.

7. Short Circuit

Short Circuit is a simple family film that reflects its own quirky effect. Johnny 5 is a robot creation by Newton (Steve Guttenberg) However, after being hit by lightning it mysteriously becomes conscious. As the military search for Johnny 5 and wants to kill it, Stephanie (Ally Sheedy) becomes its friend and works to protect it.

The story is quite straightforward and simple, however it’s beautifully filmed and is a perfect family film. Imagine it as WALL-E prior to WALL-E. The characters are enjoyable and the lead characters are able to work well, but the robot is the star of the show. Short Circuit tends to get included with imitations from E.T., but the film never feels like an emulating. It’s a distinct and enjoyable little film.

8. Up and out in Beverly Hills

The film Down and Out from Beverly Hills is about a homeless man known as Jerry who is as played by Nick Nolte. When he snucks to the back yard of a wealthy unhappy couple Barbara as well as Dave Whiteman (Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss) He jumps into their pool, in a bid for suicide. Dave is able to save his life and his family comes to cherish Jerry when they help him get back to his feet.

Down and Out in Beverly Hills is a great popcorn film with some heartfelt, serious moments sprinkled in. It’s interesting that this is Disney’s first movie that’s R-rated. Down and Out is set in Beverly Hills has an interesting concept and it’s well-shot however it’s the actors that make it more interesting.

9. Friday 13th of July, Episode VI Jason Lives

Retconning the conclusion of the first installment, Friday the 13th Part VI tells with the tale that follows Tommy Jarvis (Thom Matthews) who escaped Jason’s wrath during the film’s fourth. With music composed from Alice Cooper, this entry is a mix of humor from the horror genre and gory tension-building.

When Jason is accidentally revived, Tommy tries to warn everyone, but without success.

Jason Lives plays like a celebration of the genre, and also has the self-referential humor that many people credit Scream for. Contrary to many modern horror films that include comedy, this one is funny and has any of the comedy semblances feeling unnatural or unnatural. This means that Friday 13th Part VI is among the top films you can enjoy at a gathering or just to be amused.

10. Aliens

While its predecessor was one of the most claustrophobic sci-fi horror films, Aliens is a sci-fi action movie that is paced and filled with epic sequences. Sigourney Weaver is back for Ellen Ripley, this time stronger and more prepared to fight. When she learns of an alien attack on an area, she dresses together with a team of marines.

Sigourney Weaver’s role in Aliens is definitely one of her finest. Her special effects in Aliens are amazing and hold up well. It’s an James Cameron film, so you can expect a large amount of balancing action and a focus on storytelling that many action films from the 1980s did not have.

Here’s the thing The films of the year 1986.
