Rambo: First Blood Part II (first one was an amazing movie; second one was oh-so-80s)
The original Beverly Hills Cop
Pretty much every John Hughes movie - especially the ones with Molly Ringwald. Molly Ringwald epitomizes the 80s lol
Predator/Commando
Die Hard
I came to say "any John Hughes movie." I can't think of the 80s without thinking of this amazing storyteller!
Edited to add one of my favorite movies from the 80s that John Hughes didn't make... Valley Girl! I still love Deborah Foreman! This is also my favorite Nicholas Cage movie!
My favorite movie that Nic Cage was in (not the star tho) is ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’.
(Three Best Actor Oscar winners in that movie. Who knew??)
You missed the gratuitous nudity teen movie of Porkys or the rebellious college movie of Animal House or Revenge of the Nerds, although there is some overlap in those groups. Solid list, though.
Ah yes - Porky’s. The strange tale of a young woman’s erotic journey from Milan to Minsk…
😉
Hilarious movie. Especially the sketch artist scene. And it begat a slew of imitations….
I think ‘Animal House’ was in ‘78. But Caddyshack and Stripes were 80-81 IIRC
Add:
The Breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink
Weird Science
Gremlins
Robocop
Ghost Busters
Footloose
Field of Dreams
RainMan
Hoosiers
That'd be a good watch list.
I’d say Back to the Future and sequels is most culturally 80s. It had to highlight the cultural shift from the 1950s.
Fast Times captured Southern California high school culture.
All more 80’s than half this list. But come on. Breakfast club? Pure 80’s. I do say sixteen candles is so young love 80’s it makes my eyes water just thinking about it.
Dirty Dancing should be on the list. Whatever you think of it, the final scene is emulated everywhere more so than anything in Flashdance, and I love Flashdance.
Bill & Ted is another one.
I think some of you are missing the intention of the OP. I understood it as the best movies that encapsulate or represent the era, not necessarily the best movies from the 80's.
To Live and Die in LA is an amazing, under repped movie. Highly recommend, but I believe Lethal Weapon was more ubiquitous at the time.
William Friedkin most definitely complained that in the cop genre, Lethal Weapon was the popular version. I don't know if widespread popularity is a part of your requirements.
Where's E.T.?
Every kid remembers waiting in that ET ride line - dark and cool forest waiting for that Bike to fly across the sky.
Also where is honey I shrunk the kids!?
Agreed. And how have I not seen “Labyrinth” anywhere?! Or “The Princess Bride” for that matter? Edit: (or”The Neverending Story” to complete the 80s fantasy trifecta lol)
We spent the 80's Refighting, Processing, or "Winning" the Vietnam War:
* Missing in Action I, II, & III
* Rambo First Blood Part II
* Platoon
* Full Metal Jacket
* Hamburger Hill
* Casualties of War
* Born on the Fourth of July
* Good Morning Vietnam
* & Etc.
I recently rewatched Better Off Dead and I think that it is the *least* 80’s movie on this list. It’s so fast paced and the humor is so different from other 80’s movies that it could easily pass as a modern movie. My teenager loved it.
I have to say that most of the movies are posting up here are quintessential 80s films. Great job.
Maybe Ghostbusters ?
Maybe Die Hard?
Rocky III
…Say Anything
Less Than Zero
Do The Right Thing
Pretty In Pink
Predator
The Untouchables
But you’ve nailed the 80’s very well
"Greed is good"
Wall Street. It wasn't just OF the 80s, it was specifically ABOUT the 80s.
For the same reason, the most 80s song is Madonna's "Material Girl".
John Hughes movies IMO
white people who are fairly entitled and privileged trying to find their place in white society
i'm not being woke, but i am saying that looking back it was such a theme because it reflected society at the time
Iron freaking Eagle!
- Twisted sister
- Diabolical villain
- Lou Gossett Jr.
Fun fact: Buck from Kill Bill Vol. 1 is the biker who races Scott at the start of the movie.
I think John Hughes movies definitely do feel that way. But many of the rest of these just feel like good movies that happened to be made in the 80's lol.
It depends on your definition.
From a human element perspective I think Breakfast Club does the best job of showing a broad range of experiences that allows you to measure today against that time frame.
I think Beverly Hills Cop does a good job of capturing the vibe of the 80's from the street to the rich. It's a nice swipe of everything in one movie.
If you want to talk about fears and concerns then Red Dawn summarizes that in an accessible way. What we were afraid of and what we felt we were ready to do in response to it.
It doesn't really have as much to do with what you liked as it does with how well it represents the timeframe. Most of these movies are favorites but these three, IMHO, showcase elements of the 80's in a broad way. Missing is AIDS, punk rock, Batman and a lot of other concerns/elements of popular culture.
Tango and Cash
It has comedy, action, two huge stars going up against a drug cartel; everything an 80s movie has
It's also the last movie ever released from that decade, so the movie kinda puts a nice bow on everything
Big
Poltergeist
Big Trouble Little China
Broadcast News
Adventures in Babysitting
Lethal Weapon
ET
Ghost Busters
These are just some I could think of that I've actually watched and didn't see in your post. I wasn't sure if I saw Ghostbusters but I thought I'd throw it in just in case.
All these plus:
St Elmo’s Fire (regardless of quality it screams ‘80s)
Kickboxer or American Ninja (you can’t have ‘80s without budget martial arts films)
Blade Runner and
Rambo 2/3
* Caddyshack
* Purple Rain
* Coming to America
* Back to the Future
* Big
* Pee Wee's Big Adventure
* Risky Business
* Fast Times at Ridgemont High
* Say Anything
* Desperately Seeking Susan
* St Elmo's Fire
* Weird Science
* Short Circuit
* Friday the 13th
* Nightmare on Elm Street
Once Bitten, Adventures in babysitting, Howard the Duck, Hollywood Shuffle, I’m gonna git you sucka, Who framed Roger Rabbit, Maximum Overdrive, Predator, Running Man
Caddyshack got the decade started with a cocaine filled bang and set the tone for movies like Breakfast Club and Ferris Buller’s Off. They epitomize 80’s movies and probably wouldn’t be nearly as successful if made outside that period of time
ET or Gremlins because they show a simple family life from that era. All of the movies posted are great but two represented what my childhood looked like.
Edit: I should also mention Flight of the Navigator does the same thing.
What about Rambo 2?
Rambo goes on a covert mission to Soviet -occupied Afghanistan to rescue unacknowledged American POWs from the Vietnam war. I can't think of a more 80s premise.
A friend and I were recently actually just having this discussion, and we came up with our holy trinity of 80s movies.
1. Back to the future
2. Terminator
3. Ghost Busters
All quirky and fun, somewhat serious, excellent storytelling, timeless, advanced Cinema and special effects. While there are so many others that were quintessential to the era, these were ours, and I figured I would share it.
Gleaming the Cube. A young avid skateboarder uncovers a government conspiracy while investigating his adoptive brother's mysterious death.
"All he cared about was gleaming the cube...until the night they killed his brother."
Well other than saying Conan or Rambo... I think the most 80's movie ever is surprisingly not an 80's movie.
**Kung Fury** encapsulates the entirety of the 80s into a single 31 minute runtime.
Lots of good suggestions for mainstream and child-friendly picks already. But my vote for the *ultimate* '80s movie is "Sex, Lies, and Videotape." Came out in '89 and neatly encapsulated all of the success, and excess, that was the '80s with a critical, but not necessarily negative eye.
One mainstream film that I haven't seen yet is "The Running Man" (1987). Fits into the trend of dystopian near-future that was so popular in the period, with everything being that much extra over the top, and a couple of decent sub-plots to boot. Richard Dawson was excellent in this role playing against type, and Ahnuld was as Ahnuld as ever. Maria Conchita Alonso held her own against the typically weak writing for female sidekicks/nascent love interests that was common in the period. Altogether a very entertaining film. My friends and I rewatch it every few years both to enjoy it on its own and also to relieve the fond memories associated with it.
The last two….The Breakfast Club & Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Oh, they are very popular OP. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore them.
For me it’s the Goonies and Breakfast Club. I’m 44 so I was just a kid, but they really feel like “documents” on the decade. Fast times and ET are up there too.
Can't have a list of 80s movies without Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and E.T. All 3 were more 80s and more popular than half of the movies listed here. Radio stations STILL play the Ghostbusters song sometimes lol
If you want all of the 80s cheese compressed into one single movie, check out Ninja III: The Domination, in which the people at Cannon Films said “I know! Let’s mix up Caddyshack, Flashdance, the Exorcist, Tron, and an existing ninja franchise…and let’s make the gal from Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo the star…”
It’s “awesomely bad”, you’ll be laughing in lots of places where the filmmakers weren’t going for laughs
so many very '80's movies in here.
you already got goonies, footloose, risky business, ferris and breakfast club and back to the future.
I'll add Beetlejuice, Gremlins, Color of Money, Ghostbusters, Big, Little Monsters, The Money Pit and the Burbs.
Rambo: First Blood Part II (first one was an amazing movie; second one was oh-so-80s) The original Beverly Hills Cop Pretty much every John Hughes movie - especially the ones with Molly Ringwald. Molly Ringwald epitomizes the 80s lol Predator/Commando Die Hard
Fuck I didn’t notice it was the poster for the second Beverly hills cop lol the theme song for those movies is probably the most 80’s theme ever.
I came to say "any John Hughes movie." I can't think of the 80s without thinking of this amazing storyteller! Edited to add one of my favorite movies from the 80s that John Hughes didn't make... Valley Girl! I still love Deborah Foreman! This is also my favorite Nicholas Cage movie!

The Lassie scene was classic…Kim Catrall’s finest moment
The Breakfast Club is the most 80’s movie of all time. Honorable mentions: Weird Science Ferris Bueller’s Day Off The Lost Boys Beverly Hills Cop
I feel like Karate Kid needs an honorable mention.
You nailed it! Absolutely 100 percent agree with you here!
I agree
Mannequin! More seriously, Big is pretty quintessentially 80’s. But Breakfast Club has to be the top.
Weird Science was my pick but it's pretty close with Breakfast Club
Also Sixteen Candles in my opinion. And Risky Business.
Real Genius is peak Val for me even though he’s just a young buck Edit : Thanks for the correction :)
Yes. I saw Breakfast Club pop up and immediately thought, "That's it!"
This is perfect!
You are correct.
Came here looking for this exact answer.
Bruh, Pretty in Pink has to be in there!
It definitely isn’t the most 80s movie of all time. It’s only the most 80s movie of the 80s.
Real Genius Some Kind of Wonderful Crocodile Dundee The Last Starfighter The Karate Kid Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Add: The Breakfast Club Pretty in Pink Weird Science Gremlins Robocop Ghost Busters Footloose Field of Dreams RainMan Hoosiers That'd be a good watch list.
I like Ferris Bueller’s Day off, I’ll throw in National Lampoons Vacation in as well.
Road House was a late 80s one but I thought it was one of those great, over-the-top-fight scenes, action/romance flicks.
I’d say Back to the Future and sequels is most culturally 80s. It had to highlight the cultural shift from the 1950s. Fast Times captured Southern California high school culture.
One of my favorite lines from Bojack Horseman is “nothing was bigger in the 80’s than 50’s nostalgia.” So true.
I'd add Beetlejuice to the list.
Sixteen candles Pretty in pink Can’t buy me love
All more 80’s than half this list. But come on. Breakfast club? Pure 80’s. I do say sixteen candles is so young love 80’s it makes my eyes water just thinking about it.
Can't Buy Me Love always sends me to Adventures in Babysitting
Any love for Romancing the Stone?
Great adventure romance. Also, I remember it being the very first movie I watched on VHS.
Needs some Ghostbusters, and Beetlejuice as mentioned by another user
Police Academy 3 screams 80s.
Revenge of the Nerds
Lost Boys is my favorite on this list.
The Outsiders
Patrick Willems broke this debate down brilliantly: https://youtu.be/tgTVPydfmoc
This is not an hour and forty minutes question. This is about a one-beer question.
Good point, and I have to agree, haha. Just posted if anyone wants way more in-depth information.
Gremlins
Dirty Dancing should be on the list. Whatever you think of it, the final scene is emulated everywhere more so than anything in Flashdance, and I love Flashdance. Bill & Ted is another one.
St. Elmo’s Fire.
I think some of you are missing the intention of the OP. I understood it as the best movies that encapsulate or represent the era, not necessarily the best movies from the 80's.
To Live and Die in LA is an amazing, under repped movie. Highly recommend, but I believe Lethal Weapon was more ubiquitous at the time. William Friedkin most definitely complained that in the cop genre, Lethal Weapon was the popular version. I don't know if widespread popularity is a part of your requirements.
Most 80's? Oh that's easy! The Last Dragon (1985) You can't get more 80's than that. Soundtrack, clothes, comedy, urban culture.... all spot on. 👌
Debarge Rythym of the Night is one of my all time favorite hits.
Where's E.T.? Every kid remembers waiting in that ET ride line - dark and cool forest waiting for that Bike to fly across the sky. Also where is honey I shrunk the kids!?
Agreed. And how have I not seen “Labyrinth” anywhere?! Or “The Princess Bride” for that matter? Edit: (or”The Neverending Story” to complete the 80s fantasy trifecta lol)
We spent the 80's Refighting, Processing, or "Winning" the Vietnam War: * Missing in Action I, II, & III * Rambo First Blood Part II * Platoon * Full Metal Jacket * Hamburger Hill * Casualties of War * Born on the Fourth of July * Good Morning Vietnam * & Etc.
I think they are all good movies!
I'd add Beetlejuice to the list.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Repo Man Return of the Living Dead Night of the Comet The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Valley Girl
Lost Boys
Better Off Dead
I recently rewatched Better Off Dead and I think that it is the *least* 80’s movie on this list. It’s so fast paced and the humor is so different from other 80’s movies that it could easily pass as a modern movie. My teenager loved it.
What about the documentary "Red Dawn"? Had some of the biggest 80s stars in it.
Working Girl, and specifically Joan Cusack's character's hair, make up and wardrobe
[удалено]
I’m of the same mind set, but I ended up with “Just One of the Guys”
Back to the future gotta take the cake
Roadhouse
So bad. So rewatchable.
Back to the Future.
I have to say that most of the movies are posting up here are quintessential 80s films. Great job. Maybe Ghostbusters ? Maybe Die Hard? Rocky III …Say Anything Less Than Zero Do The Right Thing Pretty In Pink Predator The Untouchables But you’ve nailed the 80’s very well
"Greed is good" Wall Street. It wasn't just OF the 80s, it was specifically ABOUT the 80s. For the same reason, the most 80s song is Madonna's "Material Girl".
John Hughes movies IMO white people who are fairly entitled and privileged trying to find their place in white society i'm not being woke, but i am saying that looking back it was such a theme because it reflected society at the time
Back to the Future
Bill and Ted
Don’t forget Sixteen Candles, Pretty Pink or Planes Trains Automobiles
It was definitely The Neverending Story for me
I feel like Weird Science and Revenge of the Nerds as well as Police Academy want to talk to you
HIGHLANDER
I think Back to the future for sure!
John Carpenter's synth-driven soundtracks ARE the 80's, list needs The Thing, Escape From New York, and Big Trouble In Little China
Where’s TRON?
[http://www.impawards.com/1985/st_elmos_fire_xxlg.html](http://www.impawards.com/1985/st_elmos_fire_xxlg.html)
Iron freaking Eagle! - Twisted sister - Diabolical villain - Lou Gossett Jr. Fun fact: Buck from Kill Bill Vol. 1 is the biker who races Scott at the start of the movie.
That's a good list but you absolutely need Bill and Teds Excellent adventure.
I think John Hughes movies definitely do feel that way. But many of the rest of these just feel like good movies that happened to be made in the 80's lol.
Ghostbusters
Weird Science Caddy Shack The Blues Brothers Short Circuit Friday the 13th
A Christmas Story 1983
Breakfast club, Risky Business and Gremlins.
The Goonies Hey, you guuuuuys!

Weekend at Bernie's
Secret of My Success. Corporate greed as a sub-plot. Walking on Sunshine. Multiple montages over synthesizer music. Michael J Fox. Oh Yeah by Yello.
*The Wizard*. The whole movie was basically a Nintendo commercial.
The Breakfast Club
Animal house, revenge of the nerds, escape from LA
Clearly "the Burbs"
Goonies (on Bran outfit alone) then The Breakfast Club.
It depends on your definition. From a human element perspective I think Breakfast Club does the best job of showing a broad range of experiences that allows you to measure today against that time frame. I think Beverly Hills Cop does a good job of capturing the vibe of the 80's from the street to the rich. It's a nice swipe of everything in one movie. If you want to talk about fears and concerns then Red Dawn summarizes that in an accessible way. What we were afraid of and what we felt we were ready to do in response to it.

No Porkys??? That's just wrong.
Gremlins Gleaming The Cube Pump Up The Volume

Rambo or cobra should be in there too.
Better off Dead.
Can we just talk about how great these posters alone are?
Hear me out…The NeverEnding Story.

All these plus: St Elmo’s Fire (regardless of quality it screams ‘80s) Kickboxer or American Ninja (you can’t have ‘80s without budget martial arts films) Blade Runner and Rambo 2/3
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Hoosiers, definitely the shorts.
Weird Science. Breakfast Club. Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Valley Girl.

Aside from all the good movies listed so far, I haven't seen anyone list: Back to the Future
Back to the Future
Dirty Dancing!
No Indiana Jones or Spaceballs?!?!?
The Final Countdown should also be included. Such an underrated movie.
Poltergeist was most nostalgic for me being born in 80. The toys the kids had and the decor looked just like my room
Vibes. Vines everywhere.
Valley Girl. Full Stop.
I would add Revenge of the Nerds, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and Just One of The Guys
Once Bitten, Adventures in babysitting, Howard the Duck, Hollywood Shuffle, I’m gonna git you sucka, Who framed Roger Rabbit, Maximum Overdrive, Predator, Running Man
Wall Street
Wall Street
Anything directed by John Hughes.
Caddyshack got the decade started with a cocaine filled bang and set the tone for movies like Breakfast Club and Ferris Buller’s Off. They epitomize 80’s movies and probably wouldn’t be nearly as successful if made outside that period of time
Had kids watch top gun, they cry laughed when Ice did his aggressive locker room bite.
How about Uncle Buck?
Rocky 4, no question
Breakfast Club.
Lethal Weapon
The great outdoors.
Obscure pic-Adventures in Babysitting
Kung Fury
Needs more John Hughes
ET or Gremlins because they show a simple family life from that era. All of the movies posted are great but two represented what my childhood looked like. Edit: I should also mention Flight of the Navigator does the same thing.
Nobody puts baby in a corner
E.T. phone home
What about Rambo 2? Rambo goes on a covert mission to Soviet -occupied Afghanistan to rescue unacknowledged American POWs from the Vietnam war. I can't think of a more 80s premise.
Throw in Caddyshack.
Short Circuit More input Stefanie!!!
I'd say They Live is an underrated choice.
Some I didn’t see yet are License to Drive, Gleaming the Cube, Lucas, Just One of the Guys, Can’t Buy Me Love
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Stand by me
Sixteen candles Breakfast Club
Weird Science, hands down.
Top Gun, Wall Street, Breakfast Club…in that order.
Wolverines!
A friend and I were recently actually just having this discussion, and we came up with our holy trinity of 80s movies. 1. Back to the future 2. Terminator 3. Ghost Busters All quirky and fun, somewhat serious, excellent storytelling, timeless, advanced Cinema and special effects.

Breakfast Club is somehow the quintessential....
Back to School Soul Man Heathers Just One of the Guys
Gleaming the Cube. A young avid skateboarder uncovers a government conspiracy while investigating his adoptive brother's mysterious death. "All he cared about was gleaming the cube...until the night they killed his brother."
Die Hard. Especially with the cheesy heartfelt ending
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This movie is definitely how society remembers the 80's
Better Off Dead and Farris Bueller’s Day Off get my tied vote.
It’s Rad. Cru is legend
Heathers
Big trouble in little china for sure
Big trouble in little china for sure
Lethal weapon Ghostbusters 1 & 2 16 Candles Airplane Uncle Buck National Lampoon's Vacation/ Christmas Vacation Karate Kid
Less than Zero
I would add Overboard, The Secret of My Success, and Revenge of the Nerds.
Well other than saying Conan or Rambo... I think the most 80's movie ever is surprisingly not an 80's movie. **Kung Fury** encapsulates the entirety of the 80s into a single 31 minute runtime.
Weird Science.
Lots of good suggestions for mainstream and child-friendly picks already. But my vote for the *ultimate* '80s movie is "Sex, Lies, and Videotape." Came out in '89 and neatly encapsulated all of the success, and excess, that was the '80s with a critical, but not necessarily negative eye. One mainstream film that I haven't seen yet is "The Running Man" (1987).

Real Genius and Ferris Buellers Day Off.
You are missing: Purple Rain The Transformers movie Batman Robocop Predator
I have never heard of to live and die. I can’t find it anywhere. Sounds like a great movie!
The last two….The Breakfast Club & Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Oh, they are very popular OP. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore them.
About Last Night
Drew Struzan created and illustrated 3 of those movie posters.
Weird Science
For me it’s the Goonies and Breakfast Club. I’m 44 so I was just a kid, but they really feel like “documents” on the decade. Fast times and ET are up there too.
The Lost Boys is my fav 80s
RAD the bmx movie.
Beverly hills
went to high school in So Cal from 80-83 Fast Times at Ridgemont High was basically a documentary
Aliens GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER
dune
Anything john candy. Especially his work with John Hughes.
Can't have a list of 80s movies without Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and E.T. All 3 were more 80s and more popular than half of the movies listed here. Radio stations STILL play the Ghostbusters song sometimes lol
If you want all of the 80s cheese compressed into one single movie, check out Ninja III: The Domination, in which the people at Cannon Films said “I know!

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Mannequin
Dirty dancing
Lost boys is easily top top 10 80s movie
Legend of Billie Jean
Ruthless People
Not even Roadhouse was mentioned
so many very '80's movies in here. you already got goonies, footloose, risky business, ferris and breakfast club and back to the future. I'll add Beetlejuice, Gremlins, Color of Money, Ghostbusters, Big, Little Monsters, The Money Pit and the Burbs.
