    I watched this movie every day after school, for about 3 months straight. I was obsessed. I didn't find it frightening.

    Blue Velvet: you don't need to take drugs, just watch this movie and you will feel like you did. WTF Mr. Lynch

    How could I forget Blue Velvet! And Lynch in general - I saw Eraserhead first and was bamboozled! Twin Peaks was the only TV series that I watched religiously - no visitors were allowed unless they wanted to sit quietly and watch it!

    Time Bandits! Blade Runner! How did I leave them out?

    Right, I'll try to stop now. I keep thinking of new ones.

    Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Some lame "mockumentary" about some brash group of Federation a-holes who "stole a Klingon Bird of Prey" to save some whales. Sorry, COULD NOT HAPPEN. EVER. Any self respecting Klingon would self destruct their vessel before capture. Documentary. PAH! Federation propaganda!

    "Terms of Endearment" with Jack Nicholson, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger.

    The relationship between the mom and daughter touched me since I was having a difficult time with my own mom at the time.

    can't be bothered googling but certain many of the movies mentioned in this thread are '90s not '80s.

    It
    Friday the 13th's- all of them. Camp? no thanks.
    Prom night
    Amityville 1&2&3-D
    Creepshow
    Nightmare on Elm Street - all of them

    But, the big one-
    CHILDREN OF THE CORN - I spy with my little eye, something that starts with C!

    If you're an 80s kid .. it all blends together.

    80s/90s It was all the same crazy time.

    YES All these. Though Amityville 1 was 79 (same as Alien) which I remember because I was 10 yrs old and peeking over the back of the theatre seat in front of me the whole time. BEST THING EVER.

    COTC was terrible and awesome at the same time. Creepy creepy kids.
