BTMG's Top 20 Movies of the 80's

For no other reason than to put a list of movies together – I give you my favorite twenty movies of the 80’s…  Not an easy thing to do.  Especially when my list doesn’t even include CADDYSHACK, THE SHINING, AIRPLANE!, THE BLUES BROTHERS, MAD MAX, GALLIPOLI, TIME BANDITS, E.T., ROCKY III, A CHRISTMAS STORY, BEVERLY HILLS COP, THE NATURAL, THE COLOR PURPLE, THE BREAKFAST CLUB, FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF, THE THREE AMIGOS, THE UNTOUCHABLES, THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS, PREDATOR, PLATOON, PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, WALL STREET, ROXANNE, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, RAISING ARIZONA, BEETLEJUICE, PARENTHOOD, DEAD POET’S SOCIETY, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY  and/or TANGO AND CASH (that’s not a typo…unfortunately).

 

Putting something like this together isn’t as easy as you’d think – what would be on your list?
