The 80s movie countdown competition signup thread

I went with what I thought the masses would vote for. My top 5 movies of all-time are on this list and not one of them made my Top 12 predictions. Damn Commies!

See above (I assumed you took a list from a survey done somewhere else a long time ago)

That's why I can't play this game. I'm gonna be tempted to put movies like Predator and Conan The Barbarian in the top 12, even though I know they won't be in the top 12 (but they are both two of my favorite movies ever).

Got lucky in the 80's music one...likely will need to be extremely lucky in this one as well.

So many movies

I see, well what are your five that are on the list that you did not think would make top 12?

This list is a total sham. Anything that would have Three Amigos outside of the top 100 is a complete and total sham.

Yep, that's my problem. I'd want to list Spaceballs, Airplane, Back to the Future, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Blue Brothers, Caddyshack, A Christmas Story, Crocodile Dundee. That's just through the C's on the list (with Spaceballs added), and that's already 8 movies that I'd want to list, yet I can probably guaranteed that 75% of them won't even be in the top 20.

Spoiler: show

I now know how J.B. feels with all the whining and bellyaching in the Country Club
