My favorites from among the movies that won at least one of the 4 major Academy Awards in the 80's:

Chariots of Fire
On Golden Pond
Gandhi
Amadeus
Children of a Lesser God
Rain Man

Buckaroo Banzai didn't win anything, but I sure do love it! Fame is very cool!

The Raiders and the Empire rules! But what about the lovely fantasy-movies of the 80ies? And I think especially of those with huge amount of 80ies-music like Ladyhawke and Labyrinth, but also movies like Legend, Krull, Willow and The Princess Bride...

LOL....not George. There was a movie called Lucas, about a geeky freshman and some locusts....


SW was a thing unto itself - doesn't count as '80's movies to me. :D

"Back to the future"!!!

No other movie captures that 80s feeling better for me. It's the poooower of looohoooove...

I'm not talking about cineastic quality here.
