Favorite movie of the 80s?

holy shit you're a real tumblr-type individual and not some weird bot situation HI I hope people are telling you about some cool movies. unfortunately I'm a Movies Idiot. everything I know about movies I learned from my wife. to find out what movies from the 80s I have even seen I had to go enter Really Stupid Search Terms into the internet and then also ask her. I have returned with 2 facts:

robocop and the lost boys came out in the same year apparently? big win for 1987

makai tenshō 魔界転生 samurai reincarnation was 81. that's my pick. that movie rocks.

from wikipedia:

Following the Shimabara Rebellion, Christian rebellion leader Amakusa Shiro is resurrected, and renounces his God for abandoning him and thousands of Christians to be massacred by the Tokugawa regime, swearing vengeance.

Gaining the power to resurrect the dead, he tempts, resurrects and recruits the betrayed samurai wife Hosokawa Gracia, unfulfilled legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, and Buddhist monk Hozoin Inshun, who represses his sadistic desires, to join his cause as regret-filled demons.

And they wreck shop for like 2 entire hours and there's SO MUCH burning building at the end it OWNNNS SO HARD. MAKAI TENSHŌ.

#recently we found out my mom had not seen robocop so we made her watch robocop and that was also awesome #she's such a weirdo she has seen the same 15 oldass movies like a hundred times and told me a story about going to see #eraserhead with my dad's brother when it was in theaters her taste is so. something. anyway she got really emotionally invested #in robocop which was fantastic. halfway thru she was like 'if you're showing me a movie where the robocop dies I'm going to be so upset' #she said it like that. she said 'the robocop'. mom.... never change.
