Where's Dark Crystal? More importantly, where's Greystoke, Legend of Tarzan one of my top three all-time movies?
I voted anyway.

shut up you all, War Games

I reluctantly would probably choose An Officer and a Gentleman.

At the time I would pick Cannonball Run without question but The Right Stuff has aged better.

Did you notice WarGames is on the list?

Airplane, Blues Brothers, Trading Places, IMHO....saw them when they came out...never tire of them. I would add Caddyshack, Planes Trains and Automobiles and Vacation....absolute classics and right up my alley

Also ( I thought it was older) Excalibur came outin 1980. It's myfavorite movie of all time.

I wondered about that, too. Worst 80's movie list, EVER.

Since the forum is dead, but I need at least 40 votes to make the poll official.

The good thing about best is that it can also mean least bad.

Georgije · Post by **Georgije** » Sun Jan 24, 2016 2:24 pm

Star Trek II - The wrath of Khan is obviously the best

Paris Texas
The Meaning Of Life

DoomYoshi · Post by **DoomYoshi** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 5:48 pm

I must say: this list is so bad I only made 2 choices.

notyou2 · Post by **notyou2** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 3:11 pm

Eating Raoul
Scanners
Porky's

Maxleod · Post by **Maxleod** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 3:35 pm

The Meaning Of Life is a 1983 film, it should have been in the 80-84 poll.

Bernie Sanders · Post by **Bernie Sanders** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 4:12 pm

First Blood

Yeah, First Blood should be there.

Metsfanmax · Post by **Metsfanmax** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 9:00 pm

First Blood is from 1982 you tools.

this thread should be locked due to DY's half assed attempt at listing the greatest 80's movies.
