That list of movies acutally really does look like the epitomy of the 80s to be honest even though my own list looked nothing like that. Great list!!

Paul o Paul o Paul TUtt TUtt - whats wrong with Red dawn, apart from only being able to watch it once and it lacked everything - good to see charlie cheen moved onto better things like hard drugs and loose women hmmmm (how the irony of his role in ferris B follows him even now as he reported once in an interview)

As my list is kinda horror heavy and I knew nobody but me would be voting Parts 2 and 3 of KK I was thinking maybe 3 or 4 of mine would make the list, alas it was only The Karate Kid
1. The Karate Kid 2. The Karate Kid, Part II 3. The Karate Kid, Part III 4. Once Upon A Time In America 5. Rumble Fish 6. Labyrinth 7. The Shining 8. Razorback 9. Phantasm II 10. Hellraiser 11. Robocop 12. The Last Emperor 13. Blue Velvet 14. Crossroads 15. The Outsiders 16. Phenomena 17. Near Dark 18. Fright Night 19. Heathers 20. Diner
If I was doing it again I'd replace 2 with Raging Bull, and Gremlins, sorry Kev, completely forgot Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

I voted for RAD too.. but we just didn't have enough folks on our RAD team for this poll. RAD was #11 on my top 20. I tried to get Christian Hollis to vote, but I over-rotated on the landing.
btw, I was wearing my RAD t-shirt while I added up the results if that helps! Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

I was just thinking, mind you I am not maths minded, that if I didn't put Caddyshack at Number 1 on my list it probably wouldn't have made it on the list. That movie truely deserves to be there.

glad to see a couple of my favs up there. Yeah, it would'a been cool if RAD actually showed up in the list. But i'm not really surprised it didn't. I am disappointed that GREMLINS or A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET didn't make the cut. Oh well...
I don't remember the list I submitted..i just kinda threw out my top 20 at the spurt of the moment.

You wore your tshirt!! A true fan of the film, awsome Valley, AWSOME!! On the over rotation - you know you just need to let your head lead and your body will naturally follow. One of the best scenes in the movie

See, there are probably many movies that us Aussies have not seen or heard of that the Americans have and vice versa. Cos, as you know while the Aussie film industry is not that big it has produced some fine films over the years. Malcolm comes to mind off the top of my head.

Did you mean to say "RALPH MACCHIO" heavy um I know you did
Thanks for posting Helen I have to say yours may the MOST diverse for sure.
I loved what Willy brought up on Devo's thread......and I seriously think he should start his own thread about it I'd love to know why people chose what they did and why?

Just realised something, and it'd be cool to see if anyone else thinks the same.....
I just sketched out a top 20 without referring to the list I sent in, and it's very different. Some movies are there that didn't even make the first list (Secret of my Success, The Sure Thing, Streets Of Fire) whilst others I voted pretty highly didn't even figure this time (like Real Genius, No Way Out) and Fish Called Wanda kinda dropped off by default.
Wonder what difference people's moods make to which movies they think are great - or are some movies just great at that point in time....
