Just watching The Goonies on TV, one of my favorite movies from the 80s (and I also love the game for the Atari XL/XE by Datasoft, great conversion imo), I thought to open a thread for your favorite 80s movies <img class=" />

Beside The Goonies, some of my favorite 1980s movies are:

Indiana Jones
Star Wars (episodes V and VI were in the 80s)
War Games

Miami Vice – my all-time favorite TV series!! <img class=" />

Oh, and I love post-apocalypse movies, like

Damnation Alley (ok this one is from 1977, but cult!!)
Mad Max (of course!)

Das taugt mir! Aber mit wenig Ei bitte …

Der wahrscheinlich bisher beste Science Fiction Film seit Beginn der Zeitrechnung (sorry, 2001 OIS und Tron) wurde 1982 zu früh für seine Zeit auf das Publikum losgelassen: Blade Runner. Heute hat der Noir-Film seinen wohlverdienten Kultstatus und die Anerkennung erreicht. Neben Vangelis' phänomenalem Soundtrack lieferte der Film auch eines DER besten Filmzitate aller Zeiten: Roy Battys "I have seen things" 

Als bekennender Cineast hab ich noch das eine oder andere Highlight aus den tollen 80ern.

Blade Runner – well it's weird but I saw this movie only 1 or 2 times, never got 100 % really into it, allthough I am a SF and Harrison Ford fan. I guess I have to watch it some more times …

You could make an own thread for your movie gems!! Or at least a Show & Tell at the next meeting in Linz!! mrgreen

Ahhh, I answered in German. Well, it's pretty self-explanatory as it is though.

Will do a show-and-tell at meeting in Linz smile

i have only two films besides the already named films: L.I.S.A. "der helle Wahnsinn" – 2 freaky guys building their own woman with the help of their Amiga (or c-64).

and The Final Countdown about an American Warbird Carrier that is transported to the year 1942 and has to fight against Japanese Kamikaze fighters.

Also there are quite a lot of films of the 80ties i forgot and feel ashame for liking them once for example Bud Spencer films etc…

Ah i forget to mention the "back To The Future" films and maybe Platoon.
