Re: Films from the 80's you still love today.....

My fav 80's films (in no particular order) are:

Top Secret
Airplane 1 & 2
Bachelor Party
Back To The Future trilogy
Outrageous Fortune
Naked Gun triliogy
Aliens
Ghostbusters 1 & 2
Empire Strikes Back
Return Of The Jedi (shame about the Ewoks though - too cutsie which was typical of the 80's)
Predator
Nightmare On Elm Street 1 & 2 (3 was ok-ish but went downhill after the first 2)
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Lost Boys

probably a load more but can't think at the moment.

Re: Films from the 80's you still love today.....

I'm with you on the National Lampoons,Andria......but any of the series will have me slobbing out to watch on the sofa(except Animal house..)

I will always make time for:
Hellraiser
Trading Places
Planes,Trains and Automobiles
Shirley Valentine
Splash
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Tron(I'm the first to mention it but surely I'm not the only one to appreciate it's futuristic wackiness?)
Das Boot (kind of a mini-series,I know)..
Big
Mystic pizza
Scrooged
The Abyss
Fatal Attraction
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Back to the Future
Ghostbusters
Trick Or treat (but only because I was a fledgling 'Metaller' at the time..)
Pretty In Pink
Highlander
Xanadu (It's not shown as often as it should be,in my opinion..)
Weird Science
Aliens
The Terminator
Akira
Beetlejuice
Dirty Dancing
The Fly
Lethal Weapon
The Money Pit
The Meaning Of Life
Batteries Not Included
The Neverending Story
Short Circuit
The Stuff (soooo bad it's hilarious..)
Uncle Buck

Lordy!
I realise I have no life!
It's taken me 10 minutes of rummaging around my ever-dwindling grey matter to come up with this comprehensive list but at least I'm fairly sure I haven't missed any favourites...ha ha!

...and now in the words immortalised by every parent everywhere...

They don't make 'em like that anymore!!
