Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" (SDI) videos.

Nope. thats about it. They stopped making decent movies in the 70's.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Chopping Mall
C.H.U.D
Toxic Avenger
Children of the Corn
Creepshow.............too many to list them all.

As far as the genuinely good movies of the 80's, you've probably seen them all already:

Raging Bull
Born on the Fourth of July
Full Metal Jacket
Do the Right Thing
Bad Lieutenant

The other one's listed already.

Watch Sergio Leone's Dollar's Trilogy: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

How about Brewster's Millions - Richard Pryor and John Candy?

Here are a few that I've watched this past week, from the 80s.

The Toy
Brewster's Millions
Escape from New York
Scarface
Easy Money
Back To School
Caddyshack
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

I'm on a bit of a Rodney Dangerfield and Richard Pryor kick at the moment.
