    I voted for Rain Main because Fletch doesn't belong in this contest. Even The Last Dragon was funnier.

    No-brainer, "Stand by Me."

    Did anyone think at Murphy's peak in the early-to-mid 80's when he was known for R-rated raunchiness that he would be almost exclusively appearing in children's films starting around 1995?

    Trading Places makes me laugh, I voted for it.

    Of John Hughes movies I like 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller much more than The Breakfast Club. I voted for Poltergeist in memory of being a scared shitless 8-year old running from a movie theater.

    Is there anyone who's NOT voting for the movie they like more?

    Seo & Wolf, the Dos Amigos.

Well, you notice years later on reflection and repeat viewing, but, at the time, folks was swept away in a brand new terribly creative way. I thought it was crap from the start and I was (an admittedly cynical) eight-year old.

    I've seen parts of each of these movies. I liked the Blade Runner parts better as at least that movie appeared to acknowledge that the audience may have a brain, whereas Terminator is eye candy for the "Huh-huh, Ahnold blows things up!" knuckledraggers crowd.

    Three Amigos is like one of those Saturday Night Live sketches that just keeps going and going long after it ceased to be funny except for the fact that Three Amigos didn't start funny. This seed should have been given to a more deserving 80's movie. Fuck, even Ice Pirates was better.

    Sure, all you chardonnay-swilling elitists who can only say "film" and not "movie" will prefer Fast Times. You'll always pick the movie with the teenage boy masturbating because somehow that's art. But let me ask you, how many sequels did Fast Times at Ridgemont High spawn? None. TV series? None. Cartoons? None. Nicknames for Mets pitchers? None. Police Academy is definitely the cultural touchstone of the 80's.

    Looks like Gozer wins out over Jesus.

    Ghostbusters is on Hulu for your viewing pleasure.

    Coming to America made me laugh once. Better Off Dead still makes me laugh. "It's got raisins in it. You like raisins."
