MY TOP FIFTY FIVE FAVORITE RANDOMLY SELECTED 80’S FILMS THAT I STILL WATCH FROM TIME TO TIME

The Eighties were the best, in my opinion which is all that I care about at this very minute. A lot of great memories watching these movies. Yes, there are other films of this time that I liked, but haven’t really gone back to as often or had stand out story telling. I mean that is the point to a film, right? Some were with friends; birthday parties; Friday Night Cable Premieres or simply being shown for the first time on CBS; NBC or ABC. My favorite reason is the summer of awesome blockbusters, looking at you 1989. They still hold up. Long before the repeat of the reboots. Classic and older, perhaps but still worth an hour and half or so.
