7. I had to choose The Color Purple
One of my all-time favorite films. Brilliant from start to finish.

8. I definitely agree with you on that movie.
Every single actor in that movie was nothing less than brilliant in their role. And the ending makes me cry every single time I watch it.

13. Hmm. Maybe Sixteen Candles or Weird Science, or Real Genius
none of them were fantastic, but they really, really define the 80s for me.

Platoon was pretty good, too.
