Hey! I remember this movie. Much of it was filmed in and around my hometown area. Quincy and Tallahassee Florida. I remember them filming it when I was in high school. So not only do I get the 80’s flashbacks when I watch it, I also get homesick. sigh
Wow, you people have listed a lot of great movies that I haven’t thought about in a while!
Just one to add to the list: Streets of Fire.
I just love this movie. I admire the writer and director’s ability to create a whole new world, stealing the best parts of several decades (women like Diane Lane weren’t even built before the '80’s) in which to tell their story.
I didn’t see F/X on anybody’s list. That was a pretty fun 80’s movie. I guess its sequel, which is actually an early 90’s movie IINM, was also okay.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Damn … I remember some more …

and my all time fav was clue. Even though its meant to be set in 1954 its still a film made in the 80s (1985 , i think)
these are just the ones off the top of my head, Im sure I’ll have more to add later on.
I may be showing how young I was in the 80’s, but my all time favourite movies of the 80’s were:
- The Little Mermaid (one of the best movies ever! :p)
- Return to Oz
