Everyone has named the obvious (Empire, Raiders, Back to the Future),  so my list will be the OTHER movies that seem to get left out because it was such a great decade in movies:

1.  Midnight Run -  The movie is hilareous from start to finish

2.  Plains, Trains, Automobiles - I think someone named it above, but the best line, "Those aren't pillows!!!!!"

3.  Predator -  Arnold in his prime.

4.  Lethal Weapon -  The sequels started to become a bit too goofy, but this was a gritty action film.

5.  Sixteen Candles - John Hughes in his prime.

6.  Breakfast Club -  Perfect Casting.

7.  National Lampoons Vacation - "This is crazy, this is crazy!"

8.  Fletch -  This movie always get overlooked, but is funny as hell.

9. Witness - Underrated Harrison Ford Flick.

10.  The Untouchables -  "They put one of your guys in the hospital, you put one of theirs in the morgue!"

11.  Rain Man -  One of the best dramas of the decade.

12.  Fast Times at Ridgemont High -  Movie still holds up today.

13.  Risky Business -  Teenage movies today always play down to their audience, but this does the opposite.

14.  Wargames -  Loved it as a kid, and another movie that is made for kids, but doesn't talk down to the audience.
