unfortunately my eclectic tastes make me spend way too much money on dvds, lol...
also, if i am allowed to count The Decalogue as a "film" I would probably list it as my favorite film of all time, and not just of the 1980s.

Batman, since it's my favorite movie ever (I know how mature that makes me sound). I've seen the flaws listed, but it doesn't really affect my viewing of it. I've been watching it since I was a little kid when it was first released, so I've seen it too many times to think ill of it. Even now, it still seems like such a great movie.

In no particular order..its just too hard to choose one:
1. Cannery Row (John Huston may have the single best voiceover work ever with this film. BTW, needs to be seen widescreen..catch it on TMC one day)
2. Twice Upon a Time
3. Wings of Desire
4. The Road Warrior
5. The Man with Two Brains
6. The Big Chill (though I'm often told Return of the Seacaucus Seven is better, I have yet to see it)
7. The Thing
8. The Abyss
9. Pennies from Heaven
10. Amadeus
11. The Killer
12. Sixteen Candles
13. Blade Runner
14. Get Crazy!
15. Bronco Billy
...but I guess if I really had to weed it to one...Wings of Desire.
EDIT: Can't believe I forgot Body Heat!
EDIT 2: Or Blow Out.
EDIT3: Or Cinema Paradiso.
(I think I'd just better give up on this....this could go on forever...doh....Top Secret....doh...My Favorite Year....doh) Face it...for movies, the 80's ruled!
