Greatest film from the 1980's

Loads, really, Mrs Toast’s list, plus Akira pretty much do it for me, plus this one:

Diva. I love this film to bits.

“I hate Garages”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diva_(1981_film)

Has to be Top Gun. Or Blade Runner. (I nearly said Alien but that apparently came out in 79.)

Not that I’m old enough to remember any of these coming out…

EDIT: +1 to the guy who mentioned Akira. Fantastic film.

+1 for Diva

The Thing
Aliens

Crocodile Dundee 2

Agree with kcal

Restless Natives

Top Gun
Lost Boys
Lethal Weapon
Highlander
Mad Max
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Full Metal Jacket (I seem to real it being good, anyway. It’s a long time since I last saw it)

One of the above. Except for all the ones I probably forgot.

Top Secret
Full Metal Jacket
Willow
Shogun Assassin
The Long Riders
Young Guns

How could I forget Diva! Iconic.

restless Natives was great for about 75% then went to pot in the last 20 mins IMO..

Big!

Couple of cheesy comedy ones –
hear no evil see no evil
“I suppose a fvck is out of the question.”

Fletch
“Why don’t we go lay on the bed and I’ll fill you in?”

Indiana Jones is one of the best films ever imo. could watch it on repeat.

Top Gun on the other hand is just dreadful from start to finish. For me its like olives. I hate em but over time people bang on about how great they are so I’m tempted to try one again to see if I’ve acquired a taste for them. So i try one and they’re just as hideous as i remember.

Coming to America without a doubt, still endearing, still funny today. Next door neighbours son is called Akeem. Everytime I hear his name being called I laugh.

Come and See– thanks for that. I’ll look that up.

Some ace suggestions on here, I think my top 5 would be:
1 – Karate Kid
2 – Goonies
3 – Platoon
4 – Big
5 – Trading Places
