Wee man and I created a mass chaos theory where The Brave Little Toaster makes it into the top 5. You heard it here first.

I freaking love Die Hard!!! Way too low at #8!!!
That would be me!!!
Not a massive fan of Big Trouble in Little China (though I do enjoy it) but I'm definitely upset about They Live not making it. I really thought it would as I know of quite a few fans around here. I've got to say I think it's a real shame that John Carpenter, one of the icons of the 80s, is only going to have one solitary film on the list.
This one appeared on 29 lists, the most so far. In contrast to Blue Velvet it appears to be a film that a lot of people are fond of but not one that many would call their absolute favourite of the decade. 13/29 of the votes were in the top 10 and its highest placing was #2, where it appeared once. Lots of its points came from votes in the middle of the pack.
too bad neither Big Trouble in Little China nor They Live made the countdown, love those movies. put em both in my top 10

another 80s movie that should've made it, that was even mentioned at the Oscars the other night by one Bill Murray
-
Caddyshack
(Harold Ramis, 1980)
it's easy to grin, when your ship comes in
and you've got the stock market beat,
but the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile
when his shorts are too tight in the seat
#17 on my list

Big Trouble in Little China was on my list. This begs the question: why did I not include They Live? Which is better in my opinion.

Much like the Oscars and most of these types of "best of" lists, comedies generally get less respect and placement.

You said it and you're wrong. It's not even better, let alone 10x better.
