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.

I liked a quirky teen film called "Better Off Dead".

"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.
