Now you're going to have to compile these lists, put them in a poll where each member can vote on a set number of selections, and come up with a BOTL Top Ten Must See '80s Movies!

Good ones listed I'll say Wall Street (greed is good) Breakfast Club (had a thing for Molly Ringwald) and Fast Times at Ridgemont High I so wanted to go there and hang with Jeff Spicoli! I'm sure it's more but those were at the top of my noggin

The Octagon.... really?

Short Circuit
Maximum Overdrive
Christine
Back to the Future
The Karate Kid
Labyrinth
Coming to America
In my mind still one of the best movies ever produced to and one of the first to do this well, combined live action with animation - Roger Rabbit.
War Games
Indiana Jones(s)
Big
The Shining
Poltergeist
The Dark Crystal
Aliens
Three Amigos
Good Morning Vietnam
Tron

I am sure some of mine doubled up with others I didn't catch.
