Cool list, will you be adding more years to it?

Thanks! I did make separate threads for the previous years of the 80's, maybe should have made one thread for the whole decade. Will do that when I make one for the 70's.

Do you want me to make it one thread for you?

If you don't mind. Thanks!

A lot of very good movies, especially the underrated

Torgo, I have to admit your Top 10 movie list of every year in the 1980s is perfect with JamesG's help.

Thanks, AMack! It's never easy making these kinds of lists, because there always ends up being a few I forgot.

Underrated and under-seen.

Torgo, I was wondering if you forgot "Fright Night" 1985?

The movie list from 1981 have more of my favorites. Thanks for posting them.

I didn't. I really debated with that one. Easily in my Top 10 of that decade for horror, and my Top 3 of vampire films.

Great list, Penny! I remembered you were a fan of Raising Arizona! Such a great movie. For anyone that tells me Cage can't act, I tell them to watch any of his movie from the 80's, especially Raising Arizona.

I agree! He was very funny and good in Moonstruck too!(which I forgot to mention in my list.) I always liked Nick's comedies better than his straight roles. Once he moved on to more dramatic parts Johnny Depp took his place in my heart! :D :wave:
