I almost forgot: A Christmas Story. That's got to be on any 80s list.
Ouch... that should have been mine. Good call.

How about "Rad"?
80's BMX movie, I was infatuated with bikes as a kid...![]()
Nearly 60 posts in this thread and no one has mentioned the greatness of Jack Burton?!?![]()
Marianne Sägebrecht was an absolute delight in this one-- hubba hubba! (I talked about this one in a previous thread, in fact.)Out of Rosenheim (1987), aka in the USA as Bagdad Cafe.
Brilliant. This is my pick for best 80's teen comedy, and perhaps 80's comedy in general.Ferris Beuller's Day Off is mine. Perfect feel good film from start to finish.
Ghostbusters
The Terminator
Bladerunner would be at the top of my list.
(Best TOS-cast Trek movie, by far.)Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
I would leave out "Conan the Destroyer". This is one of many Hollywood movies were there was a badass R rated original movie then a cheesy kiddie friendly PG sequel.
Fletch
Agreed80's? Hell, 1982 was probably the best year for movies in a long while:
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
- The Road Warrior
- Conan the Barbarian
- Blade Runner
- TRON
- Poltergeist
- E.T. (yah, it's a sappy movie made for kids, but it's this generation's Old Yeller - you still cry!
- Evil Dead
- The Thing
Also, 1981 was the Year of the Wolf: American Werewolf In London, The Howling and Wolfen.
Those were the days...
But... but... Grace Jones!!!!!1!!one

"I grab him-- and I take him! TAKE him!!! "
Otherwise, yeah, you're right.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Agreed
Along with 1986:
Top Gun
Aliens
Ferris Bueller
Croc Dundee
Heartbreak Ridge
