I think quite a few of us on here were around for movies that came out in the 80's. There are quite a few others who have watched some of them too I am sure. If you could only pick one movie from the 80's and that would be the only 80's movie you could ever watch again what would it be?
Favorite 80's movie?

ALIENS (1986)
I'd love to recapture the feeling(s) I had, while watching that movie in a packed theater. When the camera panned up to reveal the Queen. Just... WOW!!!

this would have to be a top 10, hell you could do a top 5 from 1984 alone.
I will go with this for me though

Honorable mention: Crocodile Dundee. Cudos to Mental as Anything for "Live It Up".
I'm kind of surprised that Platoon and Raiders Of The Lost Ark haven't been mentioned yet.
There are too many to narrow it down, kind of like picking favorite Zeppelin song...
So I will go against the grain, there was a dirth of Westerns and to this day I love Silverado. Just a great Western beginning to end

I'm a huge movie buff and the 80s is probably my least favorite decade for films other than the 10s or 20s.
One genre that flourished in the 80s is horror.

Interesting.
I may agree that few films were made but plenty of great comedies, blockbusters, and as you said, horror flicks from the 80s.
No nostalgia from you?

You must just "be trying to quit" 80's movies.
That is from the most quotable movie ever which I named earlier.
Plenty of good flicks from the 80's. Not nearly as good as the golden age of the 70's but still some good quality movies, especially comedies.
