i forgot about Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi being 80s films, since when i think of Star Wars i think of the 6 films as a whole and not the years they came out.

Re: The best film of the 80s...

Without even thinking, my favourite film of the 80s is The Empire Strikes Back with the following coming a close runner up

Back to the Future
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Breakfast Club
Ferris Beuller's Day Off

Just in case anyone is wondering why I don't include the Return of the Jedi...it just wasn't one of my favourites of the 80s!

Re: The best film of the 80s...

I remember that. Cable car climax? Rudger: great. Didn't he play a proffessor/turned terrorist? Who was Sly's partner?
Hauer(sp-check later) eighties legend. Does he have a thread?

Slys partner, Sgt Fox, was played by Billy Dee Williams.
Rutger Hauer played a jobbing terrorist called "Wolfgar"
His partner, Shakka, was played by Persis Khambatta who also starred in the first Star Trek film.
I have it on DVD but they've mucked about with the soundtrack.
Still a great film though especially the part in the NY Cable Car

"Nighthawks"
Starring Sylvester Stallone, Rutger Hauer and Lindsey Wagner (Remember her?)

A roller coaster thriller and, IMHO, Sly's finest film.
