    Oh my goodness--there are WAY TOO MANY from this era! But--was surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Stripes! I think I watched that about 16 times one summer-- after it was released to cable.:glasses:

    There are only a few movies that I watch whenever I come across it while channel surfing. From the 80s that would be...

    The Princess Bride

    If it is movie about the 80's, then its Fast times at Ridgemont High....classic. Of course that when I was in high school, so it resinates.


    Oh and Back to the future...Awesome as well.

    Anybody remember BREAKIN' or how about BREAKIN' 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO?? Ya, they were pretty bad. But Im going with TOP GUN for best 80's movie. It would be a good movie to see, even today. It would not look "cheesy" compared to some other 80's movies. I watched the original FOOTLOOSE last week - ya it was kinda "cheesy". There was scence where John Lithgow was using an actual typewriter - remember those??

    LOL ... Popeye... Really ??? :)) I was an extra in that movie when I was 8 yrs old ... I thought it was a floppp

    No way! We loved it! And my boyfriend told me recently that it was one of his favorites when he was a kid too. Me and my sisters could probably still sing the songs from the movie.

    Besides Dirty Dancing being my favourite
    I also like:

    - Scarface
    - Roadhouse
    - Lost Boys
    - Red Dawn
    - Labyrinth
    & a few more that I can't think of right now, but those are my ultimate best :]

    How did I forget Red Dawn, it's either tied or a close second with Roadhouse for me.
