What's your favorite 80's movie(s)?

#1

Post by Kev83 »

I was watching the back to the future movies with my 5 year old daughter the other day was instantly transported to my childhood and all the movies I loved back then. So tell me what's your favorite 80's flicks? I love the BTTF franchise and weird science, breakfast club and so many others. Oh and definitely war games! There's almost too many to name!
