Good additions, Jim! It's been forever since I watched those 2 movies, but I remember loving them back in the day. I'll be adding those to my watch list now!
Nice one, GMaia! That's one that I never really watched growing up for some reason, but did watch as an adult and really like. I mean, how can you go wrong when you have Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick, AND Michelle Pfeiffer in a fantasy movie?!!!
I was born just a few years later than you. Still, the movie that will forever have a place in my heart is Krull…or maybe Beastmaster. Too close to call.
lots of great titles from my early HS and Army years. remember seeing Flash in the theater
Flash Gordon in the theater had to have been epic!
Great list and I've realized now how many of my Top Ten movies have either Arnold or Ford in them, haha.
LOL, Eric! Two actors that made the 80s spectacular!
This is a solid list, and I have spent many hours watching these. I might add The Last Dragon and Iron Eagle to the mix.

If you set your VCR for SLP, you could fit three of these movies on one tape! Good times!
Now THAT was a blast from the past! "SLP". 🤯
Well, nothing against all these masterworks... for my personal taste the better movie of that age was Lady Hawke...

We grew up on the same movies! I have seen every single one of those movies! You had good kid taste! lol and I still rewatch them all!
Right on, Robin! Any you can think of that I should have included?
