aren't exactly "Best" type movies. And way too many teenager-type movies noted.

Chariots of Fire is the best movie of the 1980s. Hoosiers and Raiders on the podium next to it...


Adventure films can be well received.

E.T. may be a kids movie but it is a quality movie production wise.

BH - big Tootsie fan here!


Forgot all about Tootsie. I put it ahead of Aliens at number 4.

Maybe ahead of Die Hard at 3. Only behind Raiders of teh Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back.

Can't believe I forgot Star Trek 2- The Wrath of Khan!
after a horrible Star Trek one, they fell back to Kirk's arch-villian to save the franchise. What a movie, still holds up too.
