Hi I did a small search and didn't see this posted before...
The recent threads on Can't Buy Me Love and Adventures in Babysitting have prompted me to post this. Discuss your favorite 80s movies. If you were a child of the late 70s/80s like me tell us which movies really meant a lot to you during those years. Are you still fond of them today?
Here's a starter list for me:
The Lost Boys
Stand By Me
The Goonies
Labyrinth
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Adventures in Babysitting
Can't Buy Me Love
Top Gun
Footloose
Gremlins
ET
Flight of the Navigator
The Last Star Fighter
Star Wars Trilogy
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
To this day I still like to watch all of these movies. I even own a few of them!

Hobson - "Yes, if she'd murdered the tie it would be a perfect crime" 
Arthur - "Tell me Hobson, don't you think fish get awfully tired of seafood"
