My God, how do you remember this?  I was 11 by the time the 80's ended, and I'm sure I couldn't remember half the movies I saw.  You sure did see a ton of movies!  And multiple times for many of them.  That's awesome!  What great memories you must have of this.  It was fun to read your list.

My parents didn't take me the movies very often when I was really little.  It wasn't until I was old enough to go by myself that I started seeing a lot of them. 

Here's what I can remember...

E.T.
Return of The Jedi
Superman IV (9th birthday party - I remember almost throwing up from eating too much popcorn, and from biting into a burnt piece that tasted so disgusting LOL)
Beetlejuice
Back To The Future
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
Lady And The Tramp (1986 reissue)

I'm sure there are more, I'll update as I remember.

There are movies that I watched so many times on TV and VHS when I was a kid that I have a hard time remembering whether or not I saw them in the movies first.  One of those would be "The Last Starfighter".

There was a movie that I saw that took place in space, and I can only remember one scene, which was the spaceship going across the screen from the right to the left.  ;D  I've never been able to figure out which movie it was, though I guess it could have been Return of the Jedi...

I don't think I can remember every movie I saw in the theatres in the 80s.

I do remember seeing The Last Starfighter in 1984 at the local (now defunct) Drive-In.  I ended up falling asleep and never saw the ending (Give me a break.  I was 6 and very tired lol).  When the movie's 25th anniversary came on Blu-Ray, I purchased it and watched the whole thing for the first time ever lol

No.  He did take me to see those movies. 
There are several movies in there that my dad took me and my brother to see that we shouldn't have seen.

My earliest memory was going to see Popeye with Robin Williams as a 4 yr old in 1980.

Other standouts... ET, Tron, He-Man & the Masters of the Universe, Santa Claus the Movie, Willow, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I'm wondering if I ever saw any of the Star Wars trilogy... hmmm. I wish they'd re-release those in theatres. I remember they did in the late 90s with new CGI effects.

wow! there sure were a lot of crappy movies in the 80's  ::)  and many good ones too. I do not see Oliver Stone's Platoon on this list and that was the film of the year in 1986. I remember getting shussh'd by some over zealous movie goer because we were whispering during the movie.
