How about Wall Street seems like its come around all over again the Gekko's Greed (replaced by materialism) is good. Wondered where it was all going to end. Good to see that Charlie has got his stuff together and following in his fathers footsteps at last.

Way too name to name them all, Mrs Doutlfire, Batteries not Included, Labrynth, almost any late 80's movie. THEY ALL ROCK

Pretty In Pink for sure... anything with Molly Ringwald was a smash in the 80s :)

The Goonies was the epitome of 80's film culture!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off gets my vote

Posted by Mark Wednesday 26 November, 2008 09:23 AM


I liked 16 candles, ferris bueller, return of the jedi..but my all time fav 80s movie had to be "back to the future". I want a delorean time machine!

The Breakfast Club - 1985 - The Ultimate 80's film which starred most of the best actors at the time, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, just to name a few. Pure 80's!

The Breakfast Club...a very sexy Judd Nelson and a Ho Hum Molly Ringwall.

I reckon 'Grease' is an awesome 80's movie. The guy who played Putzy was really cute and so was John Travolta. OhMyGod!!!!! Loved the music as well!!
