I was from age one to age ten in the 80's...the only movie I remember is ET...
Though having seen the majority of the good ones, I'm going to go with Breakfast Club or Better off Dead.
Quintessential '80s movies
Sunday and Monday I had an '80s movies marathon, and just got the lovely idea to ask...
What movies do you remember fondly from the '80s?
And maybe even, to go a little deeper, what movies from the '80s do you think defined or exemplified those ten years?

ET Scared me. Top Gun freakin' ruled! (and still does). Breakin' and Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo = Classics.

Halloween movies, Friday the 13th movies, Nightmare on Elmstreet movies - all the cheesy, campfire, teenage sex movies were THE WIN!
Phantasm - scared me shitless, saw it when I was like 8 or 9.
Star Wars - of course
Annie - /cry
Raiders of the lost ark - /flex
