and the finalist are, in no particular order…

These movies reach all genre, and it is impossible to put them into a ranking against each other. They each represent something different, from Action to comedy, they all have their own merits. As a child of the 70s growing up in the 80s they each mean something different to me.
I left a few off that should have been here, but mostly because I didn’t get them. Widely acclaimed to be some of the best movies of the 80s, The Shining and A Nightmare on Elm Street are horror films, a genre I could live without. Dramas from this era don’t really do anything for me either, as I was two young to appreciate them them. Driving Miss Daisy, and The Color Purple are both herald of some the greatest movies ever made.
