It's completely subjective. Off the top of my head and in no order... Back to the Future Ghostbusters Beverly Hills Cop Fast Times at Ridgemont High The Goonies That is why I asked for everyone's opinion on this.

68JET11 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I'm shocked at this crowd... So many of you spout your intelligence, (just kidding) and not one of you mentioned one of the best 80's movies of all time "SPACEBALLS" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont see that youre stupid af and im way better of a fan than almost everyone here so i should know best We might be stupid af but at least we know the difference between 1979 and the 80’s. Not just the one year, Warriors is a great movie but definitely more of a 70’s feel. Very similar to Saturday night fever as oppose to the more traditional 80’s movies. Still two great choices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hear the one one guy saying , "Warriors, come out and play" as being goofy. A ton of movies (The Wild One, Escape From NY, West Side Story, even Happy Days on TV) miss the mark depicting gang toughness by odd styling choices.
