Top Ten Movies of the 1980s

Absolutely greater than any-other!

The Wars are continuing between the empire and the rebels - MatrixGuy

It was even rated the 6th best movie of all time.

Best movie of the Star Wars saga no doubt

GOTTA GO BACK IN TIME - BritishGoat

Honestly, why is this not higher? Marty McFly nearly disappears from existence because he prevented his Mom and Dad from getting together, and Biff gets what he deserves; a job of waxing cars and other stuff - SirSalvador

Great movie, watching it right now as I write this. It is full of loads of adventure - roblist

Defiantly one of the best films from the 80s. also the best Indiana Jones films.

This is like the best thing ever.

Way ahead of Airplane!. No duh. - nallimcamybloc

I love the shining. It is the coolest, creepiest horror movie ever

How isn't this in the top 10?

This is definitely one of my, if not my favorite, movies. - BlueJazz13

Definitely, by far the best film of the 80s...and of all generations I'm a 13 year old girl and in love with the 80s and this film is the heart of that generation.

By far the bes! As a fifteen year old girl currently I can honestly say I related to each and every character. Like if you combined all of their personalities you would get me. It doesn't have to be number one but it will always be my favorite movie. - AnnaOfArendelle332

The quintessential 80's movie!

Best movie ever

A meek and alienated little boy finds a stranded extraterrestrial. He has to find the courage to defy the authorities to help the alien return to its home planet.

The Movie proved Spielberg's greatness after "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - MatrixGuy

so original, emotional, and clever. spielberg's best 4 sure.

How just how is this number 7 it inspired practically every other film like it from then on

This movie deserves more appreciation. - BlueJazz13

A forgotten classic.

It is just an awesome film

Awesome - Gangem

An second Alien movie with the James Cameron brand - MatrixGuy

After rescuing Han Solo from the palace of Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels attempt to destroy the Second Death Star, while Luke Skywalker tries to bring his father back to the Light Side of the Force.

The popular trilogy ends and the dark side is defeated - MatrixGuy

It is my favorite movie ever. - RalphBob

Love this movie. Ewoks are adorable.

Ridley Scott's career defining masterpiece. From Jordan Cronenweth's richly gorgeous cinematography to the stunning production design by Lawrence G. Paul. Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer were perfectly cast as Rick Deckard and Roy Batty providing depth and contrast. Underappreciated and misunderstood upon theatrical release, it has become a loved Sci-Fi classic.

These lists kill my spirit - Justintime221

Say hello to my little friend - SirSalvador

I'm shocked this film is not one, al pacino is apsolutely incredible in it, and the story is good the scenes are good the acting is iconic, why is this not number 1

An raw masterpiece and one of the best films of the 1980s that features excellent acting by Robert De Niro (who won the well-deserved Best Actor Oscar), Joe Pesci, Cathy Moriarty, Frank Vincent, and the others, brilliant directing by Martin Scorsese, and, of course, Oscar-worthy editing by Thelma Schoonmaker. - moviefan1990s

A movie with a big boxer who would been more greater if he would cared more about the people beside him - MatrixGuy

It is a Christmas movie

How is this movie not in the top ten and is just a contender? This movie is SO funny and is filled with action, adventure, and comedy! It's like a child version of Indiana Jones!

Heeey you guuuys! Huh hah huh! - SirSalvador
