Best Film of the 80's

[jd_1984]

Todays discussion in work......
I think the 80's was an incredible decade for movies, so many iconic moments that set trends and made permanent memories!

I cant decide on my all time favourite 80's film though!
Breakfast Club?
Return Of The Jedi?
Back To The Future?
Top Gun?
E.T??

[B00]

Dirty Dancing

Commitments

[jno]

Care Bears II: A New Generation

[Hopkirk]

Debbie Does Dallas

[bibblebub]

Terminator

[jno]

doesn't count, Hopkirk, just because you weren't old enough till the 1980s.

[Hopkirk]

I withdraw my suggestion because

a. I never actually saw it
b. It was made in the 70s

[Hopkirk]

Seriously though, I would nominate Kramer vs Kramer.

This was released in December 1979, so almost qualifies as an Eighties film.

Agreed then it was a great decade for movies!!
It seems that I can re-watch all the movies listed here and never get bored.
I was only a kid when theses films were released but I am facsinated by the era, the styles and film making were brilliant.

I do think British films are loads better than American, even if they are 'low-budget'

[jd_1984]

I think that 80's films captured the mood, fashion and style decade better than any other, agree or not?

[Kiki-frog]

The 60s were also pretty good in that respect, jd - Alfie; The Thomas Crown Affair; The Italian Job; Kes.....
