- The Terminator (1984) Run Time: 107 min | IMDb: 8.0/10. There are so many worthy entries in The Terminator franchise, but it’s hard not to love the original more than the rest.
- A Fish Called Wanda (1988) Run Time: 108 min | IMDb: 7.5/10. This British heist comedy written by John Cleese is a hidden ’80s gem on Amazon Prime Video that deserves to be unearthed.
- Witness (1985) Run Time: 112 min | IMDb: 7.4/10. Most of Harrison Ford’s ’80s resume consists of high profile blockbusters like the Indiana Jones series and Star Wars.
- Spaceballs (1987) Run Time: 96 min | IMDb: 7.1/10. Mel Brooks’ hilarious space odyssey has become something of a cult classic over the decades. It’s a parody of George Lucas’ Star Wars trilogy, so it follows the same plot: a rogue pilot and his sidekick must rescue a princess and save the galaxy, but instead of Startroopers, the bad guys are known as Space Balls, and everyone is hopelessly out of their depth playing hero (and villain).
- Bagdad Cafe. Warm, low-key, and very light on plot, "Bagdad Cafe" is a meandering, slow-moving character study about a developing friendship set at a tiny truck stop in the middle of the California desert.
- The Beastmaster. A classic and gloriously cheesy B-movie that seemed to air constantly on burgeoning cable TV systems in the 1980s, "The Beastmaster" is a medieval swordplay-and-sorcery film featuring live-action He-Man action figure Marc Singer.
- Blue Thunder. Is there anything more quintessentially '80s than a high-octane action vehicle literally about a vehicle — a technologically sophisticated, state-of-the-art, crime-fighting vehicle?
- A Chorus Line. "A Chorus Line" was the longest-running Broadway show in the early 1980s, so of course Hollywood would adapt it. The 1985 movie is much like the stage version in that it's sparse and takes the musical away from panoramic song-and-dance-numbers into intimate, emotional, and raw territory, examining the struggle and hardships faced by the people who choose to pursue fame and fortune as performers in those very productions.

This 1981 film is a hallmark of the fantasy genre.

It's nearly impossible to talk about 80s cinema without mentioning the name Steven Spielberg. The director is responsible for some of the most iconic films of all time, from Jaws to Jurassic Park. The 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, however, is one of his more family-friendly flicks, following the titular alien who is housed by a boy named El...

There is much to be said about the iconic Rocky franchise, which debuted in 1976 from a script written by its star, Sylvester Stallone. Its second-most popular entry is probably Rocky IV, released in 1985, and directed by Stallone. This is one of the biggest films of the 80s, as it perfectly captured the mood of the ongoing Cold War. The film finds...
There aren't many successful films based on iconic board games. However, Clue, which was released in 1985, might be the exception.

RELATED: Video Games To Play If Y...
The second half of the 1980s saw John Hughes' filmography truly begin to capture the tone of the decade. One of his best would be Pretty in Pink, starring Molly Ringwald, a frequent collaborator of Hughes. The film finds Ringwald playing Andie, a girl who falls in love with a nerdy, childhood friend. Aside from Ringwald, the film also features an e...
It may be hard to come to a consensus on whether the first Die Hard film is a Christmas movie. However, it's easy to agree that it's a defining film of the late 1980s. The film made an action star out of Bruce Willis, who up to that point was known as the wise-cracking Detective Addison on the show Moonlighting. Its story is often the topic of scre...
By the time 1988 rolled around, the comedy troupe known as Monty Python had little to prove. The British comedians were a hallmark of 70s pop culture with their show Monty Python's Flying Circus. They only further cemented their legacy with films like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian. RELATED: Best SNL Cast Members A Fish Called Wa...
Steve Martin was a bona fide movie star of the 1980s, with appearances on Saturday Night Live and films like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
