The Best 80's Movies!!!!

I was feeling a bit nostalgic today. I love movies, as most of you know, and I have seen a lot of them. I have never been shy about the fact that I believe that the 80's produced the best films in terms of entertainment and lasting value. They may have not always been award winning caliber, but they have stood the test of time. So, here is my list of 80's movies that are must sees(at least once). They are in no particular order I broke them into genres to make viewing easier. Most of them could be argued into other genres as most 80's films were comedies pretending to be actions or drams. The asterisks denotes my personal favorites, though I do love them all. So, if you haven't seen one, do it! Enjoy!
