1.  Karate Kid

2. The Goonies

3. Ghostbusters

10. Star Wars

ETA at 6:21pm: There are a few more 80's movies I had to add since this morning when I first posted this

ALL of those would be on my list!

I would add: Dance Till Dawn, Earth girls are easy.

dang it Kristi, after last week, I feel I have to do what you say and post this on my own blog... HOWEVER, I was born in 1981 and don't feel I'm worthy of a 80's movie list. Plus, I was 27 before I watched Indiana Jones AND Star Wars....
I did like E.T. though!

[Jamie]

I would have to say all of those too, except I would add Weird Science and Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.

Jamie,
Would you believe that I can't recall seeing either of those you mentioned??!! We own Weird Science but I have yet to watch it

[Michelle Sauer]

Hmmm, I don't even know if I could list 10 movies, I never watch em! What about dirty dancing? An all time fave of mine! Oooh, and girls just wanna have fun too!

[Julie]

I like all the movies on your Top Ten.
I would have to add:
Top Gun
Pretty in Pink
The Lost Boys
Dream a Little Dream
Stand by Me

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

I can't believe I forgot Stand by Me

[Denise H]

Oh I love just about all of those same ones as well. But add in there Space Camp and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

[Robyn]

Pretty in Pink and Breakfast Club would be ones I'd add. I love Goonies!
Bueller, Bueller.

[Jeff]

You forgot Police Academy 2.

Also, I would probably have the same movie list as you, since those are the only movies we owned growing up... but I would also add Coming to America with Eddie Murphy

[Jeff]

Also, Willy Wonka and Star Wars are from the 1970's.

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

I didn't even realize Willy Wonka was made in 1971 until I just looked it up! I watched that movie at least 10283618023618236 times during the 80's!
Coming to America has to be on that list!

After reading your list and all of the comments, I am reminded of my favorites too....Weird Science, Breakfast Club, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Saw that SOOOO many times when I was a kid), Space Camp, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and what about Teen Wolf?
