Escape From New York (1981)

  1997. New York has been turned into the biggest maximum security prison in the world. The President's plane crashes into New York and he is held hostage by a group of criminals who demand better imprisonment conditions. There is only one man who can enter this prison and get out alive and that is Snake Plissken...
  You can tell it's the 80's by the way the are dressed and you sure gotta love the weird charm of it! Another fine addition in the Sci-Fi genre by master John Carpenter. Dystopian situations, oppressive and corrupt government officials,a prison city run by a respected criminal and his team of weirdly dressed henchmen, a classic son of a bitch/hero and lots of 80's freakiness.
  All-star male cast parading in this film! Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Kurt Russell and Isaac Hayes! The  General, the Taxi Driver, the Snake and the Duke. Too bad Kurt Russell's performance isn't as good as the others' or the level would have been much higher. But we don't care much, right? Especially when we have such a great story and violent 80's action? No sir, we don't!
Must watch this : the day before your country's elections. Grab a beer and watch this with the dudes. The next day remember that all politicians are crooked and vote as you must. Start a fight with the policemen standing outside the voting center just because you feel like it!
