A coworker of mine didn't speak English until the 90's and missed most of the 80's movies. She has seen ET, Home Alone and The Karate Kid. What movies should I suggest for her to watch (give me your top 10...ones that would still be good today)? So far I have (my bolded ones are my top 10): The Color Purple Ferris Bueller's Day Off Dirty Dancing The Blues Brothers The Princess Bride Back to the Future Desperately Seeking Susan Dream a Little Dream Summer School Raiders of the Lost Ark Poltergeist Flashdance Police Academy Crocodile Dundee Good Morning Vietnam Batman Cocktail Top Gun Die Hard Ghostbusters The Terminator Sixteen Candles Revenge of the Nerds Stand By Me The Breakfast Club Trading Places 48 Hours Robin Hood Fame Splash Beverly Hills Cop Risky Business WarGame The Goonies
Spaceballs Three Amigos Scarface Star Wars Trilogy (Last 2 films were in the 80s) Blade Runner (for Deckard) Rain Man Naked Gun First Blood/Rambo: First Blood Part II 48 Hours Platoon Full Metal Jacket
I'll add some more to your list The Empire Strike Backs (cheat and watch the 'first' 2 Star Wars as well) Aliens (cheat and also watch Alien) Glory Spies Like Us I'll need to spend some time on a website listing all 80's films to get a top 10 list. But an alltime favorite of mine is Princess Bride.
The Abyss Brazil Time Bandits The Meaning of Life The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Dragon Slayer Gremlins Rain Man Who Framed Roger Rabbit Superman
Sorry, I was just adding to the list, not giving my top 10. My 10 would be: Spaceballs 3 Amigos Blues Brothers Stand By Me Back To The Future Terminator Ferris Bueller Revenge of the Nerds Princess Bride La Bamba
