Forbidden Zone
Such a crazy movie, I can hardly describe it, you just have to see it.
8
Airplane! (1980,  PG)
Airplane!
One of the best spoof movies of the 80s, although it feels like a 70s movie because it spoofs them.
9
Midnight Madness (1980,  PG)
Midnight Madness
Fun movie, kinda silly, but very enjoyable. Plus Michael J. Fox is cute and young in this movie, so you've gotta check him out.

Great comedy adventure movie about rival car salesmen, very original.

How to Beat the High Cost of Living
Hilarious movie, great actors, and a good story, how can you go wrong? I loved this movie.
12
Seems Like Old Times (1980,  PG)
Seems Like Old Times
This reminds me of the old 40s movies where the married couple would always get back together after a crazy adventure.
13
Superman II (1981,  PG)
Superman II
This is the Superman movie you want to see. It's got good villains, it's funny, and it's exciting. I recommend this one over the others.
14
My Bodyguard (1980,  PG)
My Bodyguard
I liked all the quirky characters in this, and the interesting story, it all goes together well.
15
Dinosaur (1980,  Unrated)
Dinosaur
Fun and educational movie, I first saw it at the public museum, and bought it on video. Great for kids, but also entertaining for adults.
16
Nine to Five (9 to 5) (1980,  PG)
Nine to Five (9 to 5)
Good women's comedy movie, great actresses, and an interesting story.
17
Caddyshack (1980,  R)

Good for a movie about golf.
18
Up the Academy (The Brave Young Men of Weinberg) (1980,  Unrated)
Up the Academy (The Brave Young Men of Weinberg)
A fun movie with great music and some laughs.

Somewhere in Time (1980,  PG)
Somewhere in Time
Ok, so Reeves can go back in time just by using self-hypnosis? Although this was a good movie, that premise is crazy.

Friday the 13th (1980,  R)
Friday the 13th
Although I enjoyed it, I would have liked it better if I hadn't been told by everyone on Flixster who the killer is in the end.
21
Fame (1980,  R)
Fame
Good, but it has too many main characters.
22
Foxes (1980,  R)
23
Roadie (1980,  PG)
Roadie
Although it was totally awesome to have so many rock stars in one movie, I couldn't stand some of those "texas" characters. I say: see this movie for the stars, the music, and to just sit back and enjoy, but don't expect too much.

Caligola (Caligula) (Edited Version) (1979,  R)
Caligola (Caligula) (Edited Version)
This spill over from the 70s stars some great actors, but it borders on porn, so if you want to watch it beware of that. Actually i think there's an edited version now too. Anyway, the story is pretty interesting and the actors do well with what they've got, but I wouldn't encourage anyone to see this.
25
The Fog (1979,  R)
The Fog
Not good, but not bad either. The story could use a little work, but the movie is watchable the way it is.
26
Saturn 3 (1980,  R)
27
Altered States (1980,  R)
Altered States
Extremely strange experiments go on in this movie, by the middle I didn't know what was going on anymore.
28
The Big Red One (1980,  PG)
The Big Red One
Too many slow scenes, too boring, this movie isn't that great.
29
Xanadu (1980,  PG)
Xanadu
I don't know what to say, this movie was so bad. Sure, there's singing and dancing, but the story's stupid.
