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

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.

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 :lol:

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