Am I the first one to mention **Ghost**? Looks like it.

My top 10:  
Field of Dreams  
Back to the Future  
Rain Man  
The Dead Zone  
Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home (aka the one with the whale)  
Ghost  
Empire of the Sun  
E.T.  
Breakfast Club  
Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade

Not exactly the hardest hitting group – but hey, it was the 80’s!

Just missed the list:  
Glory  
Gremlins  
8 Men Out  
Ferris Beuller’s Day Off  
Ghostbusters  
Born on the Fourth of July
