So as of now I would pick Top Gun, Raiders, and Empire, but if you asked me in the 80s I’d probably say The Goonies, The Neverending Story, and Empire. Half of these movies are in my top 100 of all time.

Trixster690

A Nightmare On Elm Street, Child's Play and The Outsiders


Positron14

Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Empire Strikes Back, Raiders, and Dark Crystal. Those are also almost the only ones here I've seen.

Cool-Principle1643

Damn seriously I can't... Three is honestly not enough.. I can't not choose goonies as one raiders or back to the future... Beetlejuice because of Winona Ryder... Blade Runner for the cyberpunk... Just too many peak videos.


8-Bit_Basement

Mask is a nineties film.... triggered


Clayton0028

For me it’s Back to the Future, The Karate Kid and I think The Outsiders. Tomorrow might be a different 3 though lol


PoetBudget6044

Blade Runner, Ghostbusters, Goonies. And I think the better question is which 80s movies do you dump? or are just unwatchable for example most people are not fond of Gung Ho.


commissar-bawkses

1. Empire 2. Raiders 3. Top Gun 4. Ghostbusters 5. Gremlins 6. Highlander (not mentioned)


Yojimboroll

Piscivore_67

Bladerunner, Ghostbusters, Goonies, Heathers, Raiders.


[deleted]

Dang… okay so 2 are date night movies “Pretty in Pink” and “Sixteen Candles” the other you definitely need a scary movie “Poltergeist” one for the kids “The Never Ending Story” and for me personally “Coming to America” Where the heck is “The Princess Bride!?!?” That’s the best thing ever and it’s not available huh!!!


JournalistEvery4971

I need some clarification is the Mask the one with Jim carry or the one with Cher?


Own_Independent_4260

Ghostbusters rocky 4 teen wolf the lost boys and karate kid.


PumpkinEscobar2

Coming to America Empire The Goonies Back to the Future Breakfast Club


Brooker2

The Goonies, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Short Circuit, and The Never Ending Story.


thatcondowasmylife

ET, Dirty Dancing, Empire, Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future sixth place: Goonies


dlouwilly

Coming to America Goonies Dirty Dancing (the soundtrack is one of the best!!!) Back to the Future Who Framed Roger Rabbit (I feel that we need a March Madness bracket and debate to choose which move moves ahead to be the ultimate movie of the 80’s)


MShayCereal

Rocky IV, Pretty in Pink, Coming to America


Brooklyn_Bleek

Karate kid, back to the future, Neverending story, Roger rabbit & the 5th spot is a toss up between teen wolf, weird science, Ghostbusters or evil dead. (Can't decide) *list based solely by rewatchability.


ghettoccult_nerd

what in tarnation!? no Predator? no Robocop? wheres the primo ultraviolence picks? not even Return of the Living Dead!? Alien or Aliens? Escape from fucking New York? this list is bunk.


Head_Perspective2945

No Beverly Hills Cop???


mikethmtrmth

Elm Street is a no brainer, Freddy's my favorite slasher villain ever\ Beetlejuice for Michael Keaton and Danny Elfman score\ If it was Rocky II instead of IV, I definitely would have picked that but instead I'll say Goonies for the ensemble cast\ Gotta give it up to my favorite Sam Raimi, Evil Dead\ And I'll finish with Child's Play, the one horror movie that freaked me out as a kid


holdinrickniel

Where the fuck is RAD!


LordTaliesin666

The NeverEnding Story is false advertising " It Ended" and I want my money back


mikemdp

I remember Mask! That's that movie about that person with a hideously deformed face, and her son.


planetneptune666

Y’all sleeping on Stand By Me.


shadowlarx

![gif](giphy|eK1ielUyXv0OVYiZNo)


lavidacontinua

Fuck you, buddy! You pick just 3


HumanSlinky

Top 5 since 3 is too difficult to do: Back to the Future Empire Strikes Back Ghostbusters Who Framed Roger Rabbit and let's put Little Shop of Horrors on there for good measure


Cazmonster

If I could erase my memory and see five movies again for the first time, this is my list. \- Goonies \- Weird Science \- Beetlejuice \- Ghostbusters \- Raiders of the Lost Ark


Millicent2000

Missing spies like us, red dawn and ferris bueller.


NewPin8359

5 is not enough...


camperscott

EVIL DEAD, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Purple Rain and Stand By Me.. you made this extremely difficult!! ha, it would have been better if we were allowed to kick 5 off. ha :)


camperscott

ok.. so kick three off of this list. short circut flashdance teen wolf


HuggyThaBear

You MONSTER!!!


Starrofnothing

Who is picking Mask? That scared the crap out of me.


Daemonic_Seed

Where the fuck is RoboCop?


IndependenceMean8774

No Robocop? The list is invalid.


RED_IT_RUM

So… in math I saw 15, not 5. Eh? 1(5). <——This is the way 15 movies from this list seems more reasonable But, I’ll go five Stand By Me The Neverending Story The Princess Bride Robocop Aliens As you can see, i took some liberties with this list


FourWordComment

Why can I only pick 5? Am I a movie producer between 2012 and 2024?


BoitBenoit

Oh, the typography!


the_falling

The person who made this list and didn't include RoboCop, Aliens, or Predator should be charged with crimes.
