How can you guys remember Princess Bride and Willow and forget Ladyhawke?

Since most of my favorites have already been mentioned, I just wanted to add Big Trouble In Little China.

I believe that Jim Henson's Labyrinth is also very much worth mentioning. And The Dark Crystal as well.

I'd choose the Muppet Movie, but it was 1979. sigh.

I've done some thinking and I have come up with a list I am pretty happy with. There are some questionable selections. Keep in mind that I was not just listing the best movies: I was selecting the best movies with the best memories. Who knows what you were doing. Heh.

Dirty Dancing
Poltergeist
Adventures in Babysitting
The Blues Brothers
ST: Wrath of Khan
Full Metal Jacket
Amadeus
Labyrinth
Princess Bride
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Also rans: Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, Dead Poets Society, Say Anything, Some Kind of Wonderful, Dark Crystal, Ghostbusters, Neverending Story, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, Meaning of Life, The Last Emperor, Ladyhawke, Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources, Willow, Flight of the Navigator, PeeWee, AND Goonies.
