The best film of the 80s...

[blaupraust]

Definitely Labyrinth!!!

[Laura]

So many....

Dirty Dancing is MY personal Fav., though that doesn't mean it was the best!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Back To The Future Trilogy, Short Circuit, of course, The Goonies......
I could go on, and on, and on....

There were some great films back then, always liked a good comedy!

My fav is probably 'The Lost Boys' though, never have been able to say 'Micheal' the same since! Lol

Enjoying those worms Michael?

I've always got time to watch Lost Boys but if pushed to name just one it'd have to be either Raiders or Back to the Future. I remember going to see Raiders in London and not expecting to like it that much (I couldn't imagine it topping something like Empire) but it was just fantastic!

What, no Top Gun. Or Robocop?!

[Slushpup]

When I first saw robocop on video in about 1988 I thought it was one of the best films I had ever seen !

Unfortunately Robocop 2 was a pile of pap !

Hello, what about Teen Wolf.

[JBDJ]

jings,
this is tough, so many movies so little time

For me, Airplane, Police Academy, Breakdance, The Goonies, Gremlins, Any Star Wars film, The Boys in Blue (with Cannon & Ball), Bad Boys (With Sean Penn) are all in my favs list, but its soo hard to pick one.

Id have a top 50 and they'd all be as good as each other

[gturner200561]

For me it would have to be Field of Dreams.Im not over keen on Kevin Costner but he does make a good Baseball film (Bull Durham) as well.
Even after watching it countless times I still get a lump in my throat.

[nottrikk]

no......... must.. resist... temptation.. to.... list all.....my movie collection.


Extremely hard to pin one down, but I have a top 5 that I will never get tired of watching again and again


5) Labyrinth
4) Any John Hughes Rite de passage movie usually Breakfast club
3) Clue
2) Raiders of the lost ark
1) Ghostbusters

[Hendy]

Id say "The Terminator"(1984),but then i start thinking and i think "The Untouchables"(1987) BUT then i think "Full Metal Jacket"(1987) ahhh i dunno!!

You can see a list of the "official" top 50 and bottom 50 movies of the 80's......here http://www.imdb.com/chart/1980s theres lists for the 70's and 90's aswell.

Good Morning Vietnam....... I could watch that over and over. I loved Robin Williams in it.
