The best film of the 80s...

Can't forget Weird Science.. Damn funny movie

[Big Jase]

Breakfast Club is my hands down favorite movie of the 80's. It's still in my top 100 favorite movies of all time.

Mine too!

Without a doubt the best film of the 1980s was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Definitely. Without a shadow of a doubt. Or was it Ghostbusters? Actually, the Burbs was pretty good too...

So what WAS the best film of the 80s?

Those are just a couple of the awesome movies that were released in the 80's.

there were so many in the 80s i cant even begin to list all the ones i love.

[mummybear]

Too many for me to pinpoint

Legend, LadyHawke, Breakfast Club, Dirty Dancing, for starters

[beta tapes? I have a box full]

I liked Star Wars. For all the techie reasons. And of course Sir Alex. I saw it in San Francisco when it opened and again in Lagos, Nigeria when it opened.

Some of my all time favorites are Its a mad mad mad mad world, A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, and The mouse that roared.

Good thread

Nah, it has to be Rita Sue and Bob too,which perfectly sums up how depressing the eighties realy were.Though the film itself is highly amusing it is a very precise image of these sorry times.

I love st. elmos fire. It that film where i first fell in love with the gorgeous Andrew McCarthy!! Loved him in mannequin too. There were too many good, classic movies made in the 80's to choose a favourite though.

Breakfast Club was a very good film. When I first sat down to watch it on TV I had the feeling it wouldn't live up to the hype, but it did. Pretty powerful stuff. Can't remember any of that happening in my class room days.

Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller, Pretty In Pink all great movies. Nightmare in Elm Street I love, even though our teacher showed it to us on the last day of school (we were 16), and it scared the **** out of me

This is a hard one, the breakfast club is way up there, also ferris buller, st elmos fire, pretty in pink, class, that was a very funny one, also a bit saucy.
I agree with tallulah, all the american high school ones, it made our dreary british schools look so bad!

My vote goes to the Empire Strikes Back. Absolutely fantastic !!

I also liked Mannequin and all those really naff horror films like American Werewolf, the Howling, Return of the Living Dead etc. etc. My friends and I would get an older brother to rent them for us on Beta video tapes (do you remember them?)
