TOP TEN: Brad's Favorite Movies from the '80s

Classic film fans won't agree with this list


Favorite Movies from the '80s

This is officially the hardest list I have ever tried to compile. How do you condense an entire decade of movies and list your ten favorite? Well, based on this list it can't be done as I have three ties giving me 13 total films and I am sure several of you will be upset that your favorite still didn't make it onto the list. The IMDB Top 10 of the 1980s looks like this:

  1. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
  2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
  3. Das Boot (1981)
  4. The Shining (1980)
  5. Raging Bull (1980)
  6. Aliens (1986)
  7. The Elephant Man (1980)
  8. Amadeus (1984)
  9. Nuovo cinema Paradiso (1988)
  10. Full Metal Jacket (1987)
While three of those films made it onto my list the rest did not. Remember though, these are my favorites, and not necessarily what I think are the best of the '80s. As for a few films that just missed my list (and this is a very small taste), get a load of these: And now... let's see who did make the list...

At the risk of sounding like a snob, I'll say that it was all about Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law, and Blue Velvet. Stranger Than Paradise and Down By Law are everything that comedies should be (to me, anyways), and I really love the way that Stranger Than Paradise is all about being young and bored. Blue Velvet was awesome, because it's one of the most bizarrely perverted films I've ever seen. I will admit that I'm partial to anything that captures a dark spirit of the suburbs.
