Top 80's movies (inspired by Blondie)

[Celluloidgal]

OK, all that 80's music got to my head. What do you think are the top ten movies of the 1980's?

1) Breakfast Club
2) Sixteen Candles
3) The Labyrinth
4) Ferris Bueler's Day Off
5) Dirty Dancing
6) Footloose
7) Pretty in Pink
8) St.Elmo's Fire
9) Back to the Future
10) Weird Science

Guess it's not an eighties movie without Molly Ringwald or takes place in/around a high school!

I'ld like to add a few to your list that I believe are better than some of the ones you picked:

Star Trek Wrath of Khan
Top Gun
Tron
Blues Brothers
Little Mermaid
Lethal Weapon
Mad Max: Road Warrior and Thunderdome
Risky Business

 

[Celluloidgal]

Oooh, I forgot some of those. Hmmm, maybe it should be a top 20 instead of 10!

 

[Divamomto3]

don't forget Officer and a Gentleman, Caddyshack, and Top Gun!

 

[Snow Dog Mom]

Don't forget:

Less Than Zero
All The Right Moves
Breakin'
