What are your must see '80s movies?

[BananaOatmeal]

I've been craving '80s movies lately for some reason. I'd appreciate any recommendations.

TIA

Day of the Dead
Purple Rain

Moonstruck

I love 1980s thrillers like

Body Heat
Dead Calm
Witness
Frantic
Jagged Edge

I also love all the 'greed is good' films of that time like Wall Street, Baby Boom, Working Girl, Trading Places etc.

Labyrinth

The Outsiders
Stand by Me

Hannah and Her Sisters
Radio Days
Heathers

Fame
Footloose
Heathers
Rain Man
St Elmos Fire
Big
Pretty in Pink
Educating Rita
Hope and Glory
Wish You Were Here
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe

I love Switching Channels

It's not 'good', not really. In fact it's objectively terrible. But Kathleen Turner is in it and she is magnificent. And it has a certain madcap, screwball 1980s charm.

Also features Christopher Reeve being frightened of lifts.

Working Girl
Footloose
Top Gun
Nightmare on Elm Street

Forgot

Officer and a gentleman
Risky Business

The Long Good Friday

A few more:

Some Kind of Wonderful
Desperately Seeking Susan
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment
Baby Boom
War Games
Trading Places
Indiana Jones

Stand by me
Uncle Buck
Outrageous fortune
ET
Ferris Buellers day off
The Neverending story
Airplane
Labyrinth

I love baby boomer (my legs shook the same at a recent offer meeting)

But if i am looking for girl power it is the following :

Bridget Jones 1
The first wives club
The wedding guest

none of those are 80s films are they?

I do like The First Wives Club tho!

Ruthless People
9 to 5

No not 1980s.
I think two are 1990s and Bridget is noughties.
Favourite 1980s? working girl. Loved the clothes.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Look Who's Talking. An absolute classic.

And the hair in Working Girl! Those were the days when cans of hairspray were huge and only lasted a week!

Ferris Buellers Day Off...
classic
