It's almost impossible to pick only 5 great 80s movies, but I'm going to try. I love 80s movies in the summer.

No order:
Karate Kid
Back to the Future
Top Gun
ET
Ghostbusters

There is no wrong or right answer. I left off sci fi and Indiana Jones, because those were great movies made in the 80s. I tried to make a list that really puts you in a 1985 (or whatever year) frame of mind. I could name 20 great movies that are runners up, but I'm sure they'll get mentioned if anyone wants to contribute.

Champ, I don't think we're limited to educational films.

Any list without "War Games" on it is invalid.

Lot of great movies listed, but the quintessential eighties movie for me, will always be The Goonies.

Too many choices. I'll post these

Back to the Future (no doubt)
Sixteen Candles (likely contender)
Goonies (glad someone else mentioned)
Silverado (introduced 'cool' Westerns to a generation)
Red Dawn (hell yeah! that's what we'd do if invaded by ...)

Big Trouble in Little China isn't one of the best of the 80's.

It's one of the best of all time.

Put 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' at the top of the list, and then fight over 2-5.

1) Empire
2) Jedi
3) Raiders
4) Big Trouble in Little China
5) Back to the Future

I realize I'm subjective because I was 6 in 1980 and 15 in 1989, but every other decade's movies aren't **** next to the 1980s.

This is literally impossible to do but...


Raiders of the Lost Ark - my second favorite movie of all time
The Empire Strikes Back - my favorite movie of all time
National Lampoons Vacation - my favorite comedy of all time
Ferris Bueller's Day Off - the quintessential 80's movie
Red Dawn - cause, 'Murica


My honorable mention top five:
Fast Times
Gremlins
Robocop
Full Metal Jacket
Return of the Jedi
