Things like The Lost Boys, Evil Dead, Goonies, all the Star Wars, Aliens - there are sooooo many lol :D

the 80's for film are like the 70's for music. There was so much bad going on that it overshadowed all the amazing stuff that was made at the same time... untill you go back and take a long hard second look.

when i think of the 80's - cheap ass cloned slasher flicks immediately come to mind - but looking at what people are mentioning - i would have to agree - there were also a ton of amazing films from the 80's - impossible to pick a favorite.

althoygh Time after Time was made in 1979 i'm sure i didnt see it until the 80's ... so i think of it as an 80s film and it's one of my all time favorite flicks.

also - Flash Gordon, The Keep, and the Cat People remake.

...
 

The Shining is my favorite movie made in the 80's by far, but when I think of 80's movies I think of "Night of the Demons" "Sleepaway Camp" "Friday the 13th" etc. Out of those kind of movies, Sleepaway camp is my favorite. It's followed by The Toxic Avenger.
