[Katzenjammer]

Some of my (rather predictable) favourite 80's films:

Airplane!
This Is Spinal Tap
Blood Simple
Down By Law
The Long Good Friday
Withnail And I
Fitzcarraldo
Do The Right Thing
An American Werewolf In London
Betty Blue
Paris, Texas
Blue Velvet
Bladerunner
The Man With Two Brains

Somehow, I managed to get through the entire eighties without seeing virtually any action blockbusters or John Hughes teen comedies. It's a miracle!

Yeah, I wanted to include The Warriors (-but that was 1979), and Miami Blues (-but that was 1990).

Could've sworn they were '80 and '89, respectively.

 

[The Groke]

Has no-one mentioned Robocop yet?

Heathens

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Some other 80's films I like(d):

Shogun Assassin

not really an 80's film as such seeing kozure okami was filmed in the early 70's

Back to the Future

Ninteen.. EIGHTYFIVE!

need I say more?

 

[Termite Man]

Ghostbusters
Goonies
Gremlins ( If Gremlins 2 wasn't made in 1990 then it would have been the best film of the 80's )


Theres some more but you don't get much better than those 3

 

[vogonity]

Agree with lots of choices:

Witness
Do the Right Thing
Blade Runner
Wall Street
Trading Places

and a lot more...

 

[Dandred]

Goonies!

Class

 

[Logales]

It has to be Weird Science.

I'm sure there's still geeks all over the world with bras on their heads and a Bratz doll wired into their Pentium 4 trying to create a woman. (Would it be Kelly Brook these days?)
