The 80's songs got me thinkin...

[dr. klopek]

What do you think is the best 80's movie? There are a ton, but there are so few that truly capture the 80's. My personal vote goes to "The 'Burbs." Honorable mention goes to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Summercamp Nightmare."

[PhatTBoll]

Oh no, don't mess around...

[Dominic]

Blade Runner
Wings of Desire
Raging Bull
Local Hero
Blood Simple
Excalibur
Videodrome

among many others

[Tron]

My favorite is Gremlins.

[Daliman]

Breakfast club is the best teen movie, period, although sixteen candles is close.

[dr. klopek]

Breakfast Club is one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen.

[Topflight]

Not overrated

Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.

[TheRake]

In no particular order

Back to the Future
Breakfast Club
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
E.T.
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Top Gun
Ghostbusters
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Porky's

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Agreed. American Pie 1&2 came pretty damn close though.

But basically any "teen" movie in the last 5 years has been crap (except 10 things i hate about you)....

You list some of my all time favorite movies. I didn't include them, because I didn't think they were defining movies of the 80's

Good list though /images/graemlins/cool.gif

You'll be happy to know I bought Top Gun as a used VHS the other day for 33 cents (+2.49 shipping /images/graemlins/frown.gif) on amazon.

It should get here tommorow as a few of the other movies I ordered (True Lies for 17 cents baby!) arrived today.
