Soapbox's Top 25 80's Movies

Nothing deep or introspective today folks. I came upon an 80's movie website a few weeks ago that has information on over 500 80's movies. It's called fast-rewind.com and it's a lot of fun. Has trivia, links, soundtracks. All kinds of stuff from what was for many of us, a magical era.... Anyways, using this website, I have compiled a list of my top 25 movies from the 1980's. Now mind you skeptics and critics #1 these are my picks. They might be a little different than yours, but rest assured, mine are much more correcter... and #2 There are some movies, namely the Star Wars, Star Trek, and Rocky saga's, that I consider to be timeless and they were not included in my evaluations. From time to time, I will review, and post some fun links to some of these classics.

Here goes:
