31illusions Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 A friend and I had a discussion about which 80's movie was the best. We decided there were just too many to make the call.I agreed. It was the best decade for movies ever. If you coulfd pick one (or more) that defined the decade, what would it be?I'd go with Back To The Future.

Georgy Zhukov Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I feel a more sentimental connection to the 80's as those films would be on TV all the time growing up. Same with the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
