Breakfast Club, of course. That movie is perfect in every single way.

It's good but it's not even in the top three John Hughes films - Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes, Trains and Automobiles blow it out of the water.

Lots of good films mentioned already - I'd add Blue Velvet and Raging Bull (though the latter is more a 70s film that happened to come out at the start of the 80s).

[Bubba]

Most of the best ones have been mentioned. But don't forget about

Stand By Me
The Terminator
Platoon
Scarface
Poltergeist
Aliens
Also... How has no-one mentioned Die Hard?!!

"I'm not the one who just butt-fucked on national TV, Dwayne!"

[Forsaken Lover]

The 80s was just The Best Decade. Well, when it comes to popular culture anyway.

And yes, that includes fashion, hairstyles, and all that.

I was totallly cheated on being raised in the late 90s/early 2000s.

[Shorty]

dammit, I was going to list Poltergeist! That movie is great.

[Araciel]

My hands would hurt were I to type the names of all the movies I like from the 80s.

[Bubba]

dammit, I was going to list Poltergeist! That movie is great.

"This house... is clean"

We could probably use that strange psychic woman to clean up some of the threads round here.

[Night Fury]

Was Turner and Hooch 80's?

[Raistlin]

No mention of Die Hard yet? I am disappointed in all of you.

I saw most of the others that came to mind already mentioned.

[eestlinc]

Armed and Dangerous was my favorite back in the day. john candy and eugene levy? how can you go wrong?

[Shlup]

There are dozens of 80s movies I love, probably because I saw a lot of them when they were new. The first movie I saw in theaters was Return of the Jedi.

First 80s movie that comes to mind, though, is Labyrinth.

I had inappropriate feeling for Jareth for being so young.

[Araciel]

The power of hoodoo?

No, the power of David Bowie's package.

[Bubba]

Also... How has no-one mentioned Die Hard?!!

"I'm not the one who just butt-smurfed on national TV, Dwayne!"


No mention of Die Hard yet? I am disappointed in all of you.

Erm...

[Raistlin]

Oops, sorry, I missed that at the end of your list. Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker! :bro:

[Pumpkin]

My boyfriend recently made me watch Predator and Terminator. He also wants me to watch the sequels. I um... just.... yeah...

[snacks]

Pretty in Pink
Weird science
Caddyshack
Back to school (i think it's the 80's???)

Pretty much anything with the Brat Pack and or Rodney in it

[Shiny]

You guys left out the best 80s movies.

Short Circuit 1 & 2

JOHNNY 5 IS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WALL-E is just a cheap ripoff.

Cheap? No. Rip-off? No. Wall-E was better and wasn't even remotely close to being about the same thing as Short Circuit. I love the Johnny 5 robot though.

[charliepanayi]

It's still absurd that as late as the late 80s, a film like Short Circuit and its sequel had a white actor in blackface playing someone non-Caucasian.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

The Dark Crystal
Willow
Legend
The Last Star Fighter
Batteries Not Included
Big Trouble In Little China

I'll think about it some more.
