Cork SR is 1994 so doesn't qualify as an 80s movie ?.

Dougie whereas 1980s music is the best imo.

1980s movies not so much imo. other decades better

But these 3 are my faves of the 80s

1) PREDATOR

( Arnies best performance, very tense build up to superb higly memorable ingenious face off final act; the film of the 1980s I have watched the most)

2) ALIENS 2

(strong very entertaining sequel almost as good as Alien . Sigourney Weaver splendid again ) .

watching both Alien films in cinema to get best atmosphere is/ was essential

3) THE UNTOUCHABLES

( uber impressive performances from Connery, De Niro and Costner . rousing very memorable instrumental score too) .

Any chance Ed’s all of bazookas posts go straight to the graveyard discussions?
How can any man put The Untouchables in their top 3 with De Niro n Costner putting in their worst performances ever?

Ghostbusters. Who are you going to call?

Time bandits. Gilliams flawed masterpiece.

And Corky regarding your " 1980s film choices " half of your choices aren't that.

Godfather part 1 and 2 in 1970s
Shawshank Redemption in 1990s

Never mind.
