    It was a crime there were not more Ted Knight/Rodney Dangerfield movies. Every line from Caddyshack is quotable. My favorite line was from Judge Smails (Ted Knight) when he found Danny with Laci up in his bedroom: “Oh HOOO-ohh!”

    Mine is "Miracle Mile," by the guy who was directing and co-wrote one of your faves ("Strange Brew") until creative disagreements led to his departure. "Miracle Mile" is jockeying with two other films for my favorite movie, period.

    1. National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)
    2. Goonies (1985)
    3. Moving (1988)
    4. Predator (1987)
    5. Robocop (1987)
    6. River’s Edge (1986)
    7. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
    8. Empire Strikes Back (1980)
    9. Scarface (1983)
    10. The Last Dragon (1985)
    I picked only movies that weren’t on your list, which was top-notch, Weird Paul
    Edit: Also, this is impossible. After submitting my homework to Mr. Weird Paul, I realized that I left Terminator, The Shining, Repo Man, Die Hard, Back to the Future, Colors, Death Wish III, Uncle Buck, Summer Rental, Police Academy 2, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, Thrashin, Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Valley Girl, and so many more off of the list. Those could easily be my favorites.

    Hi WPaul. Great list. It includes many of my faves. Looked over the comments too, A lot of good ones. My personal favorites include any movie w 80s fashion such as Pretty Woman or Steel Magnolias. We dressed like that?? And also any NYC movie that has to scan the skyline and see the twin towers just so people know they are in NY. Like seeing the Effiel Tower, Big Ben or the Golden Gate Bridge in films just cuz.

      I remember watching Phantom Menace at the theater, and was befuddled when I saw the ridiculous chase scene where they were jumping from the flying cars. It's the first time I believe anything so far fetched and ridiculous like that was ever in a serious major film, at least that I had seen. It was so totally unbelievable, just the mechanics of it especially when taking into consideration the first 3 films where nothing even remotely close to being as ludicrously beyond the scope of realism had occurred, that I lost interest in the rest of the film after that. I tried to watch the next 2 films, but it was more of the same inside of a boring cartoon soap opera, that I just couldn't get into either of them. I haven't tried watching any of the movies since, and don't plan to. I can't even watch the originals since Lucas decided to change them, ironically, hypocritically, right after he went to court to fight studios colorizing old black and white films. Yes, George Lucas, the guy who altered...err I mean "updated", his first 3 films, literally spearheaded the death of colorization of black and white films, and argued against altering older films in general, then alters his own so that future generations will never know that HAN SHOT FIRST! There, I got that off my chest.

    I love 1985’s Horror-Comedy movie, Return of the Living Dead, but I prefer Day of the Dead from that year because it’s got plenty of killer one-liners that have me dying of laughter, every time!!!!!!!!! Gotta say, my favorite Zombie movie is 2004’s Shaun of the Dead. I’m a HUGE fan of Zombieland 1 & 2 and cannot wait for the 3rd sequel to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t have a top 10 list, but my #1 favorite 1980s movie is Gothic from 1986. Another hilarious movie I’m surprised didn’t make your list is Bachelor Party……also…….tell me now, Weird Paul…..who doesn’t remember Porky’s, and I’m talking about Porky’s uncut!!!!!!!! You gotta be friggin kidding me, man!!!!!! No Porky’s?!?!?! What about Fright Night?? Night of the Creeps?? No cute Gremlins?? HELLRAISER!!!!!!!!!!! YES!✊🏻 This is Spinal Tap?? (“As long as I’ve got the sex and drugs, I can live without the rock n’ roll.”) LOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!😆😆😂🤣 Or how about Silent Night, Deadly Night??? ‘70s Black Christmas?? There’s more Horror, like Suspiria, but I know you want ‘80s so…. Dolls from 1986, which I HIGHLY recommend to all toy collectors out there!!!!!! Trick or Treat from the same year, and don’t get me started!!!!!! Killer Klowns From Outer Space?!?! The Lost Boys!!!!! No wholesome Child’s Play and Chopping Mall?!?! Last but not least, 1984’s Desperately Seeking Susan starring Madonna, where I said to myself, my first stop in the Lower East Side is Love Saves the Day!!!!!!!!!! I became a loyal customer, ever since…. P.S. I forgot to include Night of the Demons, complete with a Bauhaus music excerpt scene and lastly, early ‘90s Mirror Mirror, starring a mysterious and obscure, Gothic styled Rainbow Harvest - I love that name, btw - somewhere in my ramble!!!!!!! P.P.S. THE EVIL DEAD!!!!!!!!! And etc., etc., AND etc.😱😃P.P.S. AMADEUS!!!!!!!! A masterpiece movie, Amadeus is.
