I'll kick this off with my favorite movie even to this day... Labyrinth, starring David Bowie ;)

So many good choices from the 80's with Star Wars and Star Trek... But ultimately I'd have to go with The Lost Boys. Young Keifer Sutherland as a vampire. Amazing.

I didn't know Die Hard was an eighties movie. My personal favorite is Breakfast Club. Hell any John Hughes film is awesome but it's the Breakfast Club that takes the cake for me.

hmm I thought about saying Star Wars or Star Trek but I absolutely love all three of the Back to the Future movies and I have a thing for Deloreans xD. Back to the Future part III was released in 1990 but I still consider it an 80's film.

Flash Gordon.  Well, okay, not really, there are plenty of better films, but…

“Flash!  Ahhhhhaaa!  He’ll save every one of us!” 

How can you not appreciate a film scored by Queen?  ;)

Also, yah for Labyrinth!  I watched that so many times as a kid.

Oh man, I loved Dead Poets Society as well.

And how could I forget The Neverending Story. That was a love of mine growing up as well.

Dead Poets Society was my absolute favourite movie of all time, until Rogue One came along.

Honourable mention to the Fantasy Quartet (Krull, Legend, Labyrinth, Willow).

To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

Day of the Dead (1985) never ceases to amaze me upon each re-viewing. One of the best horror/zombie flicks ever made, even considering its low budget. RIP Joseph Pilato.

Fun-fact: Day of the Dead's iconic synth soundtrack was played in many key scenes of Stranger Things: Season 3, which the creators of that show intended as homage. It's also what made me want to watch it again!
Sex and death. They're different, but the same. To reach that final moment, that climax, you got to give up control - of your body, of your soul. And love? Well, if sex is sweet and death is bitter, love is both. Love will always and forever break your heart.

Thanks to some new crap going on, I don't know how I feel about Star wars anymore. The things that I'm always willing to re-watch are Goonies, Labyrinth, The breakfast club, and the Lost boys.

I can't believe I forgot about The Thing! The 80s just had so much good entertainment. Especially the campy horror movies.

And yes, vaudevilleJack, the original Transformers The Movie was awesome.

Hmmm, really tough choice, but for me I would have to say Purple Rain (1984).

Some honorable mentions are Flashdance, Highlander, Ghoulies, Three Amigos, and See No Evil, Hear No Evil

My favorite 80s movie would probably be Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

I wasn’t born until after it was release, but it was probably one of my faves to watch as a kid.

Beetlejuice was probably a close second. Another classic I loved watching as a kid.
