No mention for "Platoon" :-[
Does anyone remember a TVM called "Don't Go To Sleep"? The ghost of a girl who died when her brother and sister tied her laces together and their car crashed and she was locked in, comes back and befriends her sister. The family are killed off one by one in "accidents" - falling off a roof, electricuted in the bath........ Can't remember too many details as it must be over ten years since I saw it on TV late one night but I have not seen it or heard anything of it since.

Lots of good choices and many of my favorites are on previous lists. But there is one that has not been mentioned. The greatest movie ever made, let alone in the 80's. It has everthing and should have won tons of awards. That movie is (drum roll please):
Big Trouble in Little China
I also think that Lo Pan should be in more movies. He definitely would improve Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

My favorite 80s movies are probably almost every single one that has been named already. I'd also like to mention Rain Man. Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman were soooo good in this movie. Beaches was also a really good movie. Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey were awesome in this movie,and of course...Howard the Duck.
