I was just thinking back about the movies I used to like as a kid.... I know there are so many I cannot think of.... Post up what you liked back in the day, I may have a flashback movie night this winter In no order... Red Dawn Caddy Shack Iron Eagle Rambo Police Acadmey Short Circuit Hollywood Knights Rocky Commando Revenge of the Nerds Top Gun Willy Wonka Neverending Story The Karate Kid Terminator Indiana Jones
There are other movies from the 80's that I learned to appreciate in the early 90's when I was a little older as well... Breakfast Club Dead Poets Society Stand by Me Rain Man etc...
I'm not sure these are all from the 80's but they at least remind me of that era. Stand By Me Can't Buy My Love Dazed and Confused
Field of Dreams (build it and they will come) Porky's (tallywhacker lineup or lassie locker room scene,take your pic) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFpsRr0WjDE Breakfast Club

48 Hours Trading Places Beverly Hills Cop A Christmas Story A nightmare on Elm Street Airplane American werewolf in London Back to School Beetlejuice Top Gun Scarface Officer and a Gentleman National Lampoons Vacation The List goes on and on....................... Without a doubt, the best decade in Movie history
Summer School with Mark Harmon!!!! Bonus points if you know where he played football and his dad played college football. His Dad also won the ____________
Let's see during the 80s as a kid (I was only 10 when the 80s ended) I liked the movies: The Empire Strikes Back E.T. The Karate Kid The Neverending Story The Goonies Pee-wee's Big Adventure Flight of the Navigator Ghostbusters Labyrinth Masters of the Universe The Princess Bride Big Top Pee-wee The Land Before Time Willow Who Framed Roger Rabbit Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Since I've gotten older I have come to like because my parents wouldn't let me watch them as a kid Tron Terminator Raiders of the Lost Ark Blade Runner Airplane! The Shining Full Metal Jacket The Untouchables Die Hard Rain Man Bull Durham Caddyshack Ferris Bueller's Day Off Scarface I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now.
Most of the good ones were already covered, but Gremlins and The Lost Boys were 2 of my favs as a kid. I also liked Rad, but I haven't seen it in 20+ years...
