canuckkidd · 12-08-2006, 07:52 PM

Just out of curiosity, I would like to know what people's top 5 favorite movies of the 1980's were? It does not matter what year the movie came out or what genre of movie.

There are so many movies I liked during this decade particularly teen comedies ie. The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Three O clock High, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Some Kind of Wonderful, Can't buy me love. Other movies I enjoyed were St. Elmo's Fire, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Scarface.
