Paris, Texas 9. The Shining 10. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 11. RoboCop 12. Ghostbusters 13. Do the Right Thing 14. The Road Warrior 15. Lethal Weapon 16. Aliens 17. Batman 18.

I'll stop right here Holey Moley - I'm suffering from severe DVD board rummage nostalgica disease right now... Edit 06012015: It is quite unbelievable how many great movies came out in the 80s. Well, "great" for my standards. And yes, I hold them all very dearly. Including the ones posted by The Stingray and Dark 33. With the exception of The little Mermaid maybe.
