This is such a great collection of movies. I was especially happy to see The Breakfast Club on there. That movie really captured what it felt like to be a teenager trying to figure out where you fit in. I would probably add Dead Poets Society too even though it was right at the end of the decade. It had that same feeling of trying to find your voice and not losing yourself.
 
I love this list. So many classics. I would probably add Fame just because it had such a big impact on me when I was a teenager. And maybe The Outsiders too. That movie had such a great cast and every time I see it I get pulled right back into that time.
 
Pretty solid list but a couple really sucked like Ferris. I would have thrown in First Blood and Terminator. Stallone and Arnold were in their prime.

The Terminator is one of my favorite 80s films.
